There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.87–1.97 Å. Y3+ is bonded to eight O2- atoms to form distorted YO8 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with two LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with two LiO5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent YO8 hexagonal bipyramids, an edgeedge with one LiO4 tetrahedra, and edges with four LiO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Y–O bond distances ranging from 2.32–2.55 Å. There are three inequivalent B3+ sites. In the first B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.37 Å) and two longer (1.40 Å) B–O bond length. In the second B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.38–1.40 Å. In the third B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.36–1.40 Å. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three Li1+, one Y3+, and one B3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+, one Y3+, and one B3+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLi3YB trigonal bipyramids. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two Li1+, two equivalent Y3+, and one B3+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four Li1+ and one B3+ atom.
