In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CuO4 tetrahedra, corners with three LiO4 tetrahedra, and corners with five CuO4 trigonal pyramids. There is one shorter (1.55 Å) and three longer (1.57 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 three LiO4 tetrahedra and corners with four CuO4 trigonal pyramids. There is two shorter (1.55 Å) and two longer (1.58 Å) P–O bond length. In the fourth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent CuO4 tetrahedra, and corners with six CuO4 trigonal pyramids. There is two shorter (1.55 Å) and two longer (1.57 Å) P–O bond length. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to three Cu1+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, two equivalent Cu1+, and one P5+ atom.
