LiBGeO4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-4 space group. Li(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent B(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra. B(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form BO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra. Ge(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent B(1)O4 tetrahedra. O(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Li(1), one B(1), and one Ge(1) atom.
