description: Li4Sb(TeO4)3 is Ilmenite-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.40 Å. In the second Li site, Li is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.38 Å. In the third Li site, Li is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.58 Å. In the fourth Li site, Li is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.59 Å. Sb is bonded to six O atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with six TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–42°. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.14 Å. There are three inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te is bonded to six O atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent SbO6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent TeO6 octahedra.

In the second Te site, Te is bonded to six O atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent TeO6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent SbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–41°. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.13 Å. In the third Te site, Te is bonded to six O atoms to form corner-sharing TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–43°. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 2.05–2.21 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded to two Li and two Te atoms to form distorted OLi2Te2 tetrahedra that share corners with four OLi2SbTe tetrahedra and edges with two OLi2Te2 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Li, one Sb, and one Te atom.
