LiSn2P3O10 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure consists of a LiSn2P3O10 framework. Li(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent O(4) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and one O(3) atom. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), and one O(5) atom to form corner-sharing PO4 tetrahedra. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(5) atoms to form corner-sharing PO4 tetrahedra. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(5) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one P(1) and one P(2) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Sn(1) and one P(2) atom. In the third O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Sn(1) and one P(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sn(1) and one P(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(4) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Li(1) and one P(1) atom.
