LiRh crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li is bonded to six equivalent Rh atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing LiRh6 cuboctahedra. All Li–Rh bond lengths are 2.67 Å. Rh is bonded to six equivalent Li atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing RhLi6 cuboctahedra.
LiRh3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to ten Rh atoms. There are a spread of Li–Rh bond distances ranging from 2.61–2.74 Å. There are two inequivalent Rh sites. In the first Rh site, Rh is bonded to four equivalent Li atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing RhLi4 cuboctahedra. In the second Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li atoms.
LiRh3 is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li is bonded to twelve Rh atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing LiRh12 cuboctahedra. There are four shorter (2.67 Å) and eight longer (2.69 Å) Li–Rh bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Rh sites. In the first Rh site, Rh is bonded to four equivalent Li atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing RhLi4 cuboctahedra. In the second Rh site, Rh is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Li atoms.
