LiCrSnO4 is Spinel-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Li(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 56-63°. Cr(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra. Sn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form SnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra. There are two 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 Cr(1), and one Sn(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to one Li(1), one Cr(1), and two equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OLiCrSn2 trigonal pyramids.
