Li1Mo6S8 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form distorted LiS4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with twelve MoS5 square pyramids and an edgeedge with one MoS5 square pyramid. There are a spread of Li–S bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.59 Å. There are six inequivalent Mo+2.50+ sites. In the first Mo+2.50+ site, Mo+2.50+ is bonded to five S2- atoms to form MoS5 square pyramids that share corners with four MoS5 square pyramids, corners with two equivalent LiS4 trigonal pyramids, and edges with five MoS5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–S bond distances ranging from 2.42–2.48 Å. In the second Mo+2.50+ site, Mo+2.50+ is bonded to five S2- atoms to form MoS5 square pyramids that share corners with four MoS5 square pyramids, corners with two equivalent LiS4 trigonal pyramids, and edges with five MoS5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–S bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.47 Å. In the third Mo+2.50+ site, Mo+2.50+ is bonded to five S2- atoms to form MoS5 square pyramids that share corners with four MoS5 square pyramids, corners with two equivalent LiS4 trigonal pyramids, and edges with five MoS5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–S bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.47 Å. In the fourth Mo+2.50+ site, Mo+2.50+ is bonded to five S2- atoms to form MoS5 square pyramids that share corners with four MoS5 square pyramids, corners with two equivalent LiS4 trigonal pyramids, edges with five MoS5 square pyramids, and an edgeedge with one LiS4 trigonal pyramid. There are a spread of Mo–S bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.52 Å. In the fifth Mo+2.50+ site, Mo+2.50+ is bonded to five S2- atoms to form MoS5 square pyramids that share corners with four MoS5 square pyramids, corners with three equivalent LiS4 trigonal pyramids, and edges with five MoS5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–S bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.50 Å. In the sixth Mo+2.50+ site, Mo+2.50+ is bonded to five S2- atoms to form MoS5 square pyramids that share corners with four MoS5 square pyramids, a cornercorner with one LiS4 trigonal pyramid, and edges with five MoS5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–S bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.48 Å. There are eight inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Mo+2.50+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Mo+2.50+ atoms. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Mo+2.50+ atoms. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and three Mo+2.50+ atoms. In the fifth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and four Mo+2.50+ atoms. In the sixth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and three Mo+2.50+ atoms. In the seventh S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and four Mo+2.50+ atoms. In the eighth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Mo+2.50+ atoms.
