LiMo2(PO4)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.85–2.68 Å. There are three inequivalent Mo4+ sites. In the first Mo4+ site, Mo4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent MoO6 octahedra. There are two shorter (2.13 Å) and four longer (2.23 Å) Mo–O bond lengths. In the second Mo4+ site, Mo4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.96 Å) and four longer (2.01 Å) Mo–O bond length. In the third Mo4+ site, Mo4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MoO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one MoO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.22 Å. There are three inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent MoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 45°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.49–1.59 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent MoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–42°. There is one shorter (1.48 Å) and three longer (1.58 Å) P–O bond length. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six MoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–55°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.60 Å. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Mo4+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Mo4+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Mo4+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mo4+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Mo4+ and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mo4+ and one P5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mo4+ and one P5+ atom.
