In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.01 Å) and three longer (2.43 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.13 Å) and three longer (2.24 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (1.96 Å) and three longer (2.47 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the fourth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.10 Å) and three longer (2.40 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the fifth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.05 Å) and three longer (2.39 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the sixth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.00 Å) and three longer (2.42 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the seventh Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted LiO6 octahedra that share edges with three equivalent NbO6 octahedra, a faceface with one TiO6 octahedra, and a faceface with one NbO6 octahedra. There are three shorter (1.99 Å) and three longer (2.03 Å) Li–O bond lengths. There are seven inequivalent Ti4+ sites.

In the third Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent TiO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent NbO6 octahedra, and edges with three equivalent TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 37–46°. There are three shorter (1.89 Å) and three longer (2.14 Å) Ti–O bond lengths. In the fourth Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted TiO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent TiO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent NbO6 octahedra, and a faceface with one TiO6 octahedra.
