Li3Mn2(PO4)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted LiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one MnO6 octahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one MnO5 trigonal bipyramid, and an edgeedge with one MnO5 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 71°. All Li–O bond lengths are 2.04 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 1.88–2.05 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.53 Å. There are two inequivalent Mn3+ sites. In the first Mn3+ site, Mn3+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted MnO5 trigonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with five PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.17 Å. In the second Mn3+ site, Mn3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one LiO4 tetrahedra and corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.88–2.20 Å. There are three inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent MnO5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 27–44°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.57 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one LiO4 tetrahedra, and a cornercorner with one MnO5 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 31–47°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.59 Å. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one LiO4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent MnO5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 44–49°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.58 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Mn3+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Li1+, one Mn3+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Li1+, one Mn3+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Li1+, one Mn3+, and one P5+ atom to form corner-sharing OLi2MnP tetrahedra. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Mn3+, and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Li1+, one Mn3+, and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mn3+ and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Mn3+, and one P5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mn3+ and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Li1+, one Mn3+, and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLi2MnP trigonal pyramids. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Li1+, one Mn3+, and one P5+ atom.
