LiCu3 is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing LiCu12 cuboctahedra. Cu(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Li(1) atoms.
LiCu3 is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing LiCu12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.53 Å) and six longer (2.55 Å) Li(1)-Cu(1) bond lengths. Cu(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Li(1) atoms.
