In the fifth Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with three LiO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one LiO6 octahedra, and edges with five TiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.04 Å. In the sixth Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one LiO4 tetrahedra and edges with six TiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.04 Å. In the seventh Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra and edges with six TiO6 octahedra. There is three shorter (1.96 Å) and three longer (2.01 Å) Ti–O bond length. There are sixteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Ti4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two Li1+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Ti4+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Ti4+ atoms.
