Title: Materials Data on LiMg(Fe5O8)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiMg(Fe5O8)2 is Spinel-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six FeO4 tetrahedra and edges with six FeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.11–2.15 Å. Mg2+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form MgO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 56–60°. There is two shorter (1.99 Å) and two longer (2.00 Å) Mg–O bond length. There are eight inequivalent Fe+2.90+ sites. In the first Fe+2.90+ site, Fe+2.90+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent MgO4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent FeO4 tetrahedra, and edges with six FeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–1.98 Å. In the second Fe+2.90+ site, Fe+2.90+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent MgO4 tetrahedra, corners with four FeO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one LiO6 octahedra, and edges with five FeO6 octahedra.
