description: Li4Ti3(CoO4)3 crystallizes in the triclinic P-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 corners with six CoO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, edges with four LiO6 octahedra, and edges with four TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 10–11°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.09–2.23 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six CoO6 octahedra, edges with two CoO6 octahedra, edges with three LiO6 octahedra, and edges with four TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–18°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.58 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six TiO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra, edges with four LiO6 octahedra, and edges with four CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–17°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.14–2.28 Å. There are two inequivalent Ti4+ sites. In the first Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one LiO6 octahedra, edges with two TiO6 octahedra, edges with four CoO6 octahedra, and edges with five LiO6 octahedra.
