Materials Data on LiH by Materials Project
LiH is Halite, Rock Salt structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to six equivalent H1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing LiH6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Li–H bond lengths are 2.00 Å. H1- is bonded to six equivalent Li1+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing HLi6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.
