Materials Data on LiMnO2 by Materials Project

LiMnO2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent LiO6 octahedra, corners with five equivalent MnO6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent LiO6 octahedra, edges with five equivalent MnO6 octahedra, and a faceface with one MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 3–47°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.29 Å. Mn3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent MnO6 octahedra, corners with five equivalent LiO6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent MnO6 octahedra, edges with five equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and a faceface with one LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 3–49°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.42 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li1+ and three equivalent Mn3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three equivalent Li1+ and three equivalent Mn3+ atoms to form edge-sharing OLi3Mn3 octahedra.
