description: LiBi2P5O18 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.90–2.61 Å. There are two inequivalent Bi5+ sites. In the first Bi5+ site, Bi5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form BiO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.18–2.28 Å. In the second Bi5+ site, Bi5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form BiO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.21–2.38 Å. There are five inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one BiO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 50°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.61 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four BiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 41–57°.

The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–53°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.60 Å. In the fourth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent BiO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–50°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.49–1.61 Å. In the fifth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two BiO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–52°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.49–1.63 Å. There are eighteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Bi5+ and one P5+ atom.
