description: Li5Mn(CoO4)2 is Caswellsilverite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent CoO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, edges with three CoO6 octahedra, and edges with seven LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–12°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.33 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 equivalent MnO6 octahedra, edges with two CoO6 octahedra, and edges with eight LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–13°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.34 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent MnO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent CoO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one MnO6 octahedra, edges with three CoO6 octahedra, and edges with eight LiO6 octahedra.
