description: Li3Ti4O8 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_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 two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent TiO6 octahedra, edges with three LiO6 octahedra, edges with six TiO6 octahedra, and a faceface with one TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–50°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.29 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent TiO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent LiO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, edges with six TiO6 octahedra, and a faceface with one TiO6 octahedra.
