Li3Fe5O8 is Caswellsilverite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with four FeO6 octahedra, edges with three LiO6 octahedra, and edges with nine FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–10°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.30 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra, edges with three LiO6 octahedra, and edges with nine FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 4–8°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.09–2.28 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra, edges with three LiO6 octahedra, and edges with nine FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–6°. There are four shorter (2.09 Å) and two longer (2.19 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the fourth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one LiO6 octahedra, and edges with eleven FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–6°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.17 Å. There are five inequivalent Fe+2.60+ sites. In the first Fe+2.60+ site, Fe+2.60+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six FeO6 octahedra, edges with five FeO6 octahedra, and edges with seven LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 4°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.23 Å. In the second Fe+2.60+ site, Fe+2.60+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent LiO6 octahedra, edges with five LiO6 octahedra, and edges with seven FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–11°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.09 Å.

In the fourth Fe+2.60+ site, Fe+2.60+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six FeO6 octahedra, edges with five FeO6 octahedra, and edges with seven LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–11°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.12–2.18 Å. In the fifth Fe+2.60+ site, Fe+2.60+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with four FeO6 octahedra, edges with five LiO6 octahedra, and edges with seven FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–6°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.10 Å. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Li1+ and four Fe+2.60+ atoms to form OLi2Fe4 octahedra that share corners with six OLi3Fe3 octahedra and edges with twelve OLi2Fe4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–5°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and three Fe+2.60+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi3Fe3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–6°. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Li1+ and four Fe+2.60+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi2Fe4 octahedra.
