Materials Data on Li3CuF6 by Materials Project
Li3CuF6 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four F1- atoms to form LiF4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one LiF6 octahedra, corners with four CuF6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one LiF4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 51–65°. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 1.86–1.92 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 1.91–2.47 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.41 Å. In the fourth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five F1- atoms. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 1.88–2.19 Å. In the fifth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form LiF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent CuF6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent LiF4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent CuF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 48°. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 2.01–2.10 Å. There are two inequivalent Cu3+ sites. In the first Cu3+ site, Cu3+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form CuF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiF4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent LiF6 octahedra. There are a spread of Cu–F bond distances ranging from 1.91–1.93 Å. In the second Cu3+ site, Cu3+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form CuF6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one LiF6 octahedra and corners with three equivalent LiF4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 48°. There are a spread of Cu–F bond distances ranging from 1.90–1.94 Å. There are nine inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Li1+ and one Cu3+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Li1+ and one Cu3+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Li1+ and one Cu3+ atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded to three Li1+ and one Cu3+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing FLi3Cu tetrahedra. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded to three Li1+ and one Cu3+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing FLi3Cu trigonal pyramids. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two Li1+ and one Cu3+ atom. In the seventh F1- site, F1- is bonded to three Li1+ and one Cu3+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing FLi3Cu tetrahedra. In the eighth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Li1+ and one Cu3+ atom. In the ninth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Li1+ and one Cu3+ atom.
