Li3Cr(PO4)2 crystallizes in the trigonal R3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.70 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.64 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (1.97 Å) and three longer (2.26 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the fourth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and a faceface with one CrO6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.08 Å) and three longer (2.32 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the fifth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and faces with two CrO6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.18 Å) and three longer (2.25 Å) Li–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Cr3+ sites. In the first Cr3+ site, Cr3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and a faceface with one LiO6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.00 Å) and three longer (2.04 Å) Cr–O bond lengths. In the second Cr3+ site, Cr3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and a faceface with one LiO6 octahedra. There are three shorter (1.99 Å) and three longer (2.03 Å) Cr–O bond lengths. In the third Cr3+ site, Cr3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and a faceface with one LiO6 octahedra. There is three shorter (1.96 Å) and three longer (2.02 Å) Cr–O bond length. There are two inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two LiO6 octahedra and corners with three CrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 29–45°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.54–1.57 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two LiO6 octahedra and corners with three CrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 29–46°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.58 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cr3+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Li1+, one Cr3+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three Li1+, one Cr3+, and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cr3+, and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cr3+, and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Li1+, one Cr3+, and one P5+ atom to form distorted edge-sharing OLi2CrP trigonal pyramids.
