description: Li3V3(BO5)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one LiO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one VO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and edges with four VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 63–65°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.09–2.17 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with four VO6 octahedra, edges with four LiO6 octahedra, and edges with four VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 7–21°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.22 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one LiO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent VO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent VO6 octahedra, and edges with four LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 59–65°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.26 Å. There are three inequivalent V+3.67+ sites. In the first V+3.67+ site, V+3.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one LiO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent VO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and edges with four VO6 octahedra.

In the second V+3.67+ site, V+3.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent VO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent VO6 octahedra, and edges with five LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 7–57°. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.82–2.03 Å. In the third V+3.67+ site, V+3.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with four LiO6 octahedra, edges with three LiO6 octahedra, and edges with four VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 21–63°. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.79–2.18 Å. There are two inequivalent B3+ sites. In the first B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.37 Å) and one longer (1.43 Å) B–O bond length. In the second B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.33–1.47 Å. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li1+ and three V+3.67+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and two equivalent V+3.67+ atoms to form OLi3V2 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent OLi2V3 square pyramids, a cornercorner with one OLi2V2 tetrahedra, and edges with three OLi3V2 square pyramids. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, two equivalent V+3.67+, and one B3+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Li1+, one V+3.67+, and one B3+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Li1+, one V+3.67+, and one B3+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Li1+ and two equivalent V+3.67+ atoms to form distorted OLi2V2 tetrahedra that share corners with three OLi3V2 square pyramids, corners with two equivalent OLi2V2 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one OLi2V3 square pyramid. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Li1+ and three V+3.67+ atoms to form OLi2V3 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent OLi3V2 square pyramids, corners with two equivalent OLi2V2 tetrahedra, edges with three OLi3V2 square pyramids, and an edgeedge with one OLi2V2 tetrahedra. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Li1+ and one B3+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three V+3.67+ and one B3+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Li1+, one V+3.67+, and one B3+ atom.
