Materials Data on LiMoO2 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiMoO2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent MoO6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent MoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 3°. All Li–O bond lengths are 2.27 Å. Mo3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form MoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent MoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 3°. All Mo–O bond lengths are 2.19 Å. O2- is bonded to three equivalent Li1+ and three equivalent Mo3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi3Mo3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.
