Li2B2S5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Li(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent S(1) atoms. B(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one S(1), one S(2), and one S(3) atom. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1) and one B(1) atom. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one B(1) atom. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent B(1) atoms.
Li2B2S5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Li(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent S(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.53 Å) and two longer (2.55 Å) Li(1)-S(1) bond lengths. B(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one S(1), one S(2), and one S(3) atom. The B(1)-S(1) bond length is 1.80 Å. The B(1)-S(2) bond length is 1.80 Å. The B(1)-S(3) bond length is 1.81 Å. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1) and one B(1) atom. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one B(1) atom. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent B(1) atoms.
