LiVF4 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. Li(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(1) and four equivalent F(2) atoms to form LiF6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent V(1)F6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Li(1)F6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 50-51°. V(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(2) and four equivalent F(1) atoms to form VF6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Li(1)F6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent V(1)F6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 50-51°. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1) and two equivalent V(1) atoms. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Li(1) and one V(1) atom.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 50-51°. Both Li(1)-F(1) bond lengths are 2.02 Å. There are two shorter (2.00 Å) and two longer (2.02 Å) Li(1)-F(2) bond lengths. V(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(2) and four equivalent F(1) atoms to form VF6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Li(1)F6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent V(1)F6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 50-51°. Both V(1)-F(2) bond lengths are 1.89 Å. There are two shorter (1.98 Å) and two longer (1.99 Å) V(1)-F(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1) and two equivalent V(1) atoms. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Li(1) and one V(1) atom.
