There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.91–2.06 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with four MnO5 trigonal bipyramids, and an edgeedge with one MnO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.10 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with four MnO5 trigonal bipyramids, and an edgeedge with one MnO5 trigonal bipyramid.
