LiNbWO6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Li(1) is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to two equivalent O(3) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. Nb(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(3) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form NbO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Nb(1)O6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 40-48°. W(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form WO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent Nb(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 35-40°. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Li(1), one Nb(1), and one W(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent W(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent Nb(1) atoms.
