LiFe3SiPO8 is Ilmenite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent PO4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent FeO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 60–69°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.14–2.27 Å. There are three inequivalent Fe2+ sites. In the first Fe2+ site, Fe2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with eight FeO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–66°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.30 Å. In the second Fe2+ site, Fe2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted FeO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one SiO4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent PO4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent FeO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–69°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.12–2.30 Å. In the third Fe2+ site, Fe2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra, edges with four FeO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 58–66°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.14–2.26 Å. Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six FeO6 octahedra and edges with three FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 52–62°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.64–1.67 Å. P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with four FeO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one FeO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 52–60°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.54–1.57 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Fe2+ and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Li1+, one Fe2+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Li1+, one Fe2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Fe2+ and one Si4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li1+, two Fe2+, and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Fe2+ and one Si4+ atom.
