In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one B3+, and one Sn4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Li1+, one B3+, and one Sn4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one B3+, and one Sn4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Li1+, one B3+, and one Sn4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one B3+, and one Sn4+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one B3+ and one Sn4+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Li1+, one B3+, and one Sn4+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one B3+, and one Sn4+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three Li1+, one B3+, and one Sn4+ atom.
