Li6Mn5Fe(BO3)6 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one MnO5 square pyramid, corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one FeO5 trigonal bipyramid, and corners with four MnO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.02 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one MnO5 square pyramid, corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one FeO5 trigonal bipyramid, and corners with four MnO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.01 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one MnO5 square pyramid, corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one FeO5 trigonal bipyramid, and corners with four MnO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.02 Å. There are five inequivalent Mn2+ sites. In the first Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted MnO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with six LiO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent MnO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are one shorter (2.11 Å) and four longer (2.19 Å) Mn–O bond lengths. In the second Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted MnO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with six LiO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent MnO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 2.10–2.19 Å. In the third Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted MnO5 square pyramids that share corners with six LiO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent FeO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 2.11–2.20 Å. In the fourth Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted MnO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with six LiO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent MnO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are one shorter (2.11 Å) and four longer (2.19 Å) Mn–O bond lengths. In the fifth Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted MnO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with six LiO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent MnO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 2.10–2.19 Å. Fe2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted FeO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with six LiO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent MnO5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.19 Å. There are four inequivalent B3+ sites. In the first B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. All B–O bond lengths are 1.39 Å. In the second B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.39 Å) and one longer (1.40 Å) B–O bond length. In the third B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. All B–O bond lengths are 1.40 Å. In the fourth B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.39 Å) and one longer (1.40 Å) B–O bond length. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Li1+, one Mn2+, and one B3+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLi2MnB tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Li1+, one Mn2+, and one B3+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLi2MnB tetrahedra. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two Mn2+, and one B3+ atom to form distorted OLiMn2B tetrahedra that share corners with ten OLi2MnB tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one OLiMn2B tetrahedra. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Li1+, one Mn2+, and one B3+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLi2MnB tetrahedra. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Li1+, one Mn2+, and one B3+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLi2MnB tetrahedra. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, one Mn2+, one Fe2+, and one B3+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLiMnFeB tetrahedra. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two Mn2+, and one B3+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLiMn2B tetrahedra. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two Mn2+, and one B3+ atom to form distorted OLiMn2B tetrahedra that share corners with ten OLi2MnB tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one OLiMn2B tetrahedra.
