Li4NbO4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/m space group. Li(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing LiO4 trigonal pyramids. Nb(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Li(1) and one Nb(1) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi4Nb trigonal bipyramids.
Li4NbO4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/m space group. Li(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing LiO4 trigonal pyramids. There are a spread of Li(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 1.95-2.10 Å. Nb(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. All Nb(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.97 Å. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Li(1) and one Nb(1) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi4Nb trigonal bipyramids.
