Materials Data on LiCu2F6 by Materials Project
LiCu2F6 is zeta iron carbide-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form LiF6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent CuF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–53°. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.21 Å. Cu+2.50+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form CuF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiF6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent CuF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–53°. There are a spread of Cu–F bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.00 Å. There are three inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+ and two equivalent Cu+2.50+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+ and two equivalent Cu+2.50+ atoms. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+ and two equivalent Cu+2.50+ atoms.
