In the second Co+3.33+ site, Co+3.33+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO6 octahedra, edges with six LiO6 octahedra, and edges with six CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–8°. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.89–2.09 Å. In the third Co+3.33+ site, Co+3.33+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO6 octahedra, edges with six LiO6 octahedra, and edges with six CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–6°. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.09 Å. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and three Co+3.33+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi3Co3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to five Li1+ and one Co+3.33+ atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi5Co octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–8°. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and three Co+3.33+ atoms to form OLi3Co3 octahedra that share corners with six OLi4Co2 octahedra and edges with twelve OLi3Co3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–7°.
