LiZnO2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Li(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 3°. Zn(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form ZnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 3°. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi3Zn3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
