LiCrSnO4 is Spinel-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_322 space group. Li(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Sn(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra. Cr(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Sn(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra. Sn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form SnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 53-61°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Li(1), one Cr(1), and one Sn(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), two equivalent Cr(1), and one Sn(1) atom.
