Materials Data on Li4CO4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Li4CO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.06–2.42 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.84–1.88 Å. C4+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of C–O bond distances ranging from 1.40–1.47 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four Li1+ and one C4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four Li1+ and one C4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four Li1+ and one C4+ atom.
