Materials Data on Li2IO by Materials Project
Li2OI crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent O and two equivalent I atoms. Both Li–O bond lengths are 1.92 Å. There are one shorter (2.94 Å) and one longer (2.96 Å) Li–I bond lengths. O is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li and one I atom. The O–I bond length is 2.60 Å. I is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li and one O atom.
