Li3Rh is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded to four equivalent Li(2) and four equivalent Rh(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing LiLi4Rh4 tetrahedra. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Li(1) and six equivalent Rh(1) atoms. Rh(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to six equivalent Li(2) and eight equivalent Li(1) atoms.
