LiZnO2 is Caswellsilverite-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. Li(1) is bonded to six O(1,1,1,1) atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-8°. Zn(1) is bonded to six O(1,1,1,1) atoms to form ZnO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-8°. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi3Zn3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-8°. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi3Zn3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-8°. In the third O site, O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi3Zn3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-8°. In the fourth O site, O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi3Zn3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-8°. In the fifth O site, O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi3Zn3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-8°.
