LiTaO3 is Calcite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3c space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. Ta(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing TaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. O(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent Ta(1) atoms.
LiTaO3 is Calcite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3c space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. There are three shorter (2.03 Å) and three longer (2.27 Å) Li(1)-O(1) bond lengths. Ta(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing TaO6 octahedra.
