Li2VF5 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Li(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent F(1) and two equivalent F(2) atoms. V(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(2) and four equivalent F(3) atoms to form corner-sharing VF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 41°. There are three inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Li(1) atoms. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1) and one V(1) atom. In the third F site, F(3) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent V(1) atoms.
Li2VF5 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Li(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent F(1) and two equivalent F(2) atoms. There is one shorter (1.90 Å) and one longer (1.92 Å) Li(1)-F(1) bond length. There is one shorter (2.03 Å) and one longer (2.06 Å) Li(1)-F(2) bond length. V(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(2) and four equivalent F(3) atoms to form corner-sharing VF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 41°. Both V(1)-F(2) bond lengths are 1.96 Å. There are two shorter (1.96 Å) and two longer (2.05 Å) V(1)-F(3) bond lengths. There are three inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Li(1) atoms. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1) and one V(1) atom. In the third F site, F(3) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent V(1) atoms.
