LiCuO2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnnm space group. Li(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 51°. Cu(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent Cu(1) atoms.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 51°. There are two shorter (2.15 Å) and four longer (2.22 Å) Li(1)-O(1) bond lengths. Cu(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. There are four shorter (1.87 Å) and two longer (2.46 Å) Cu(1)-O(1) bond lengths. O(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent Cu(1) atoms.
