title: Materials Data on LiMn2O4 by Materials Project

description: LiMn2O4 is Spinel-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 55–64°. All Li–O bond lengths are 2.02 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 57–62°. There are two shorter (2.02 Å) and two longer (2.06 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 54–67°. There are two shorter (2.04 Å) and two longer (2.07 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the fourth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 53–67°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.05 Å. There are five inequivalent Mn+3.50+ sites. In the first Mn+3.50+ site, Mn+3.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO4 tetrahedra and edges with six MnO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–1.97 Å. In the second Mn+3.50+ site, Mn+3.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO4 tetrahedra and edges with six MnO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.22 Å. In the third Mn+3.50+ site, Mn+3.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO4 tetrahedra and edges with six MnO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.15 Å. In the fourth Mn+3.50+ site, Mn+3.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO4 tetrahedra and edges with six MnO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.23 Å. In the fifth Mn+3.50+ site, Mn+3.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO4 tetrahedra and edges with six MnO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–1.98 Å. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+ and three Mn+3.50+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OLiMn3 tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li1+ and three Mn+3.50+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li1+ and three Mn+3.50+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li1+ and three equivalent Mn+3.50+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li1+ and three Mn+3.50+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+ and three Mn+3.50+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OLiMn3 tetrahedra. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+ and three Mn+3.50+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OLiMn3 trigonal pyramids. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li1+ and three Mn+3.50+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li1+ and three Mn+3.50+ atoms.
