LiClO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li is bonded to six O atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent ClO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.44 Å. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Li and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.47 Å. In the second O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Li and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.45 Å. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two equivalent Li and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.46 Å. Cl is bonded to four O atoms to form ClO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–53°.
