LiInGeO4 is Spinel-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Li(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent In(1)O6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent In(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 54-61°. In(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form InO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent In(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 50-61°. Ge(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), and two equivalent O(1) atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent In(1)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one In(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 57-61°. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), two equivalent In(1), and one Ge(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Li(1), one In(1), and one Ge(1) atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLi2InGe tetrahedra. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Li(1), one In(1), and one Ge(1) atom.
