Li3Fe is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Fe(1) atoms. Fe(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Li(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing FeLi12 cuboctahedra.
Li3Fe is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Fe(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.76 Å) and two longer (2.79 Å) Li(1)-Fe(1) bond lengths. Fe(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Li(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing FeLi12 cuboctahedra.
