The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 33–60°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.57 Å. In the fourth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four CuO6 octahedra and an edgeedge with one CuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–61°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.54–1.59 Å. There are fourteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cu2+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Cu2+ and one P5+ atom.
