LiCuCO3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one O(3), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and one O(3) atom. C(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and one O(3) atom. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1), one Cu(1), and one C(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1), one Cu(1), and one C(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Li(1), one Cu(1), and one C(1) atom.
