LiCrSiO4 is Spinel-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Li(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Si(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 51-66°. Cr(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Si(1)O6 octahedra. Si(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form SiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Si(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Li(1), two equivalent Cr(1), and one Si(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLiCr2Si tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), one Cr(1), and two equivalent Si(1) atoms.
