LiRh3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imm2 space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rh(2) and six equivalent Rh(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Rh sites. In the first Rh site, Rh(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1) atoms. In the second Rh site, Rh(2) is bonded to four equivalent Li(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing RhLi4 cuboctahedra.
LiRh3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imm2 space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rh(2) and six equivalent Rh(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.63 Å) and two longer (2.72 Å) Li(1)-Rh(2) bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.57 Å) and four longer (2.70 Å) Li(1)-Rh(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Rh sites. In the first Rh site, Rh(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1) atoms. In the second Rh site, Rh(2) is bonded to four equivalent Li(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing RhLi4 cuboctahedra.
