description: Li4V2(PO4)3 is Esseneite-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two VO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one LiO4 trigonal pyramid, and an edgeedge with one VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 66–68°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.17 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two VO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one LiO4 trigonal pyramid, and an edgeedge with one VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 62–69°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.12 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with two VO6 octahedra, corners with two LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one VO6 octahedra.

In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four VO6 octahedra, corners with three LiO4 tetrahedra, and a cornercorner with one LiO4 trigonal pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 20–57°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.58 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Li1+, one V+2.50+, and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLi2VP tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Li1+, one V+2.50+, and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLi2VP tetrahedra.
