Li5Cu(PO4)2 is beta beryllia-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are seven inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CuO4 tetrahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and corners with six LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.05 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CuO4 tetrahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and corners with six LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.01–2.04 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra and corners with eight LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.02 Å. In the fourth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CuO4 tetrahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and corners with seven LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.01 Å. In the fifth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CuO4 tetrahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and corners with seven LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.03 Å. In the sixth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent CuO4 tetrahedra, and corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.06 Å. In the seventh Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra and corners with eight LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.05 Å. Cu1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form CuO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CuO4 tetrahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and corners with six LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.13 Å. There are four inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent CuO4 tetrahedra and corners with eight LiO4 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (1.55 Å) and three longer (1.56 Å) P–O bond length. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve LiO4 tetrahedra. All P–O bond lengths are 1.56 Å. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CuO4 tetrahedra and corners with ten LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.55–1.57 Å. In the fourth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CuO4 tetrahedra and corners with ten LiO4 tetrahedra. All P–O bond lengths are 1.56 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and one P5+ atom to form corner-sharing OLi3P tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLi3P tetrahedra. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLi3P tetrahedra. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two equivalent Cu1+, and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLiCu2P tetrahedra. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and one P5+ atom to form corner-sharing OLi3P tetrahedra. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Li1+, one Cu1+, and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLi2CuP tetrahedra. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Li1+, one Cu1+, and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and one P5+ atom to form corner-sharing OLi3P tetrahedra. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, two equivalent Cu1+, and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLi3P tetrahedra. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and one P5+ atom to form corner-sharing OLi3P tetrahedra. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLi3P tetrahedra.
