LiBeTa is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Li(1) is bonded to six equivalent Be(1) and four equivalent Ta(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing LiTa4Be6 tetrahedra. Be(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Li(1) and four equivalent Ta(1) atoms. Ta(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Li(1) and four equivalent Be(1) atoms.
