LiO8 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one O(4), one O(5), one O(6), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li(1) and one O(2) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li(1) and one O(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(5) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li(1) and one O(6) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li(1) and one O(3) atom. In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li(1) and one O(4) atom.
