Li4NbCo3O8 is Caswellsilverite-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent NbO6 octahedra, edges with six LiO6 octahedra, and edges with six CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–2°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.20–2.23 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CoO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent NbO6 octahedra, edges with four CoO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–12°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.10–2.20 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CoO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent NbO6 octahedra, edges with four CoO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–11°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.09–2.21 Å. In the fourth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CoO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent NbO6 octahedra, edges with four CoO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 5°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.13–2.32 Å. Nb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NbO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, edges with six LiO6 octahedra, and edges with six CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–2°. There are two shorter (2.03 Å) and four longer (2.04 Å) Nb–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Co+2.33+ sites. In the first Co+2.33+ site, Co+2.33+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent NbO6 octahedra, edges with four CoO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–12°. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.14 Å. In the second Co+2.33+ site, Co+2.33+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent NbO6 octahedra, edges with four CoO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–11°. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.15 Å. In the third Co+2.33+ site, Co+2.33+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent NbO6 octahedra, edges with four CoO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 5°. There are two shorter (1.91 Å) and four longer (2.13 Å) Co–O bond lengths. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and three Co+2.33+ atoms to form OLi3Co3 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent OLi3Co3 octahedra and edges with twelve OLi3NbCo2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+, one Nb5+, and two Co+2.33+ atoms to form OLi3NbCo2 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent OLi3NbCo2 octahedra and edges with twelve OLi3Co3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+, one Nb5+, and two Co+2.33+ atoms to form OLi3NbCo2 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent OLi3NbCo2 octahedra and edges with twelve OLi3Co3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+, one Nb5+, and two Co+2.33+ atoms to form OLi3NbCo2 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent OLi3NbCo2 octahedra and edges with twelve OLi3Co3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.
