Materials Data on Li2C by Materials Project
Li2C is Fluorite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to four equivalent C2- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing LiC4 tetrahedra. All Li–C bond lengths are 2.25 Å. C2- is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Li1+ atoms.
