Li4Cu3Sb(PO4)4 is Hausmannite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with four CuO6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with two PO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one SbO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one CuO6 pentagonal pyramid, and edges with two PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.09–2.35 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent SbO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent CuO6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with two PO4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, edges with two CuO6 pentagonal pyramids, and edges with two PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 55–69°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.05–2.38 Å. There are three inequivalent Cu1+ sites. In the first Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CuO6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with four equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CuO6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 55–74°. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.35 Å. In the second Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CuO6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with four equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent SbO6 octahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 53–74°. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.46 Å. In the third Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CuO6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with four equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CuO6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 58–73°. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.42 Å. Sb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted SbO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CuO6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 55–69°. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 2.17–2.46 Å. There are four inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one SbO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with three CuO6 pentagonal pyramids, edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one CuO6 pentagonal pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 55–56°. There is three shorter (1.55 Å) and one longer (1.61 Å) P–O bond length. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one SbO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with three CuO6 pentagonal pyramids, an edgeedge with one SbO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 57–62°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.59 Å. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with four CuO6 pentagonal pyramids, edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one CuO6 pentagonal pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 56°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.55–1.58 Å. In the fourth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent SbO6 octahedra, corners with two CuO6 pentagonal pyramids, edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one CuO6 pentagonal pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 52–61°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.54–1.57 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Li1+, one Sb5+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li1+, two Cu1+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li1+, one Cu1+, and one P5+ atom.
