description: (Li(NH3)4)3(P)11(NH3)5 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of ten ammonia molecules, six Li(NH3)4 clusters, and two P clusters. In two of the Li(NH3)4 clusters, Li is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four N atoms. There are a spread of Li–N bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.10 Å. There are four inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N is bonded to one Li and three H atoms to form distorted corner-sharing NLiH3 tetrahedra. All N–H bond lengths are 1.03 Å. In the second N site, N is bonded to one Li and three H atoms to form distorted corner-sharing NLiH3 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.02 Å) and one longer (1.03 Å) N–H bond length. In the third N site, N is bonded to one Li and three H atoms to form distorted corner-sharing NLiH3 tetrahedra. All N–H bond lengths are 1.03 Å. In the fourth N site, N is bonded to one Li and three H atoms to form distorted corner-sharing NLiH3 tetrahedra. All N–H bond lengths are 1.03 Å. There are twelve inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N atom. In the second H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N atom. In the third H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N atom. In the fourth H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N atom.
