LiSn is beta-prime cadmium gold-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/m space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sn(2) and six equivalent Sn(1) atoms. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Sn(1) and four equivalent Sn(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(2) and six equivalent Li(1) atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn(2) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Li(1) and four equivalent Li(2) atoms.

In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sn(2) and six equivalent Sn(1) atoms. Both Li(1)-Sn(2) bond lengths are 3.01 Å. There are a spread of Li(1)-Sn(1) bond distances ranging from 2.98-3.11 Å. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Sn(1) and four equivalent Sn(2) atoms. All Li(2)-Sn(1) bond lengths are 3.08 Å. All Li(2)-Sn(2) bond lengths are 3.03 Å. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(2) and six equivalent Li(1) atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn(2) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Li(1) and four equivalent Li(2) atoms.
