LiVO2 is Caswellsilverite-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. Li(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-15°. V(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-12°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent V(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi3V3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-15°. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent V(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi3V3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-12°.
