In the first 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 2.02–2.07 Å. In the second 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.

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 1.97–2.07 Å. In the eighth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three CuO4 tetrahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and corners with five LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.02 Å. In the ninth 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.
