Materials Data on Li2HIO by Materials Project
Li2I(OH) crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent O2- and two equivalent I1- atoms. Both Li–O bond lengths are 1.97 Å. There are one shorter (2.83 Å) and one longer (2.84 Å) Li–I bond lengths. H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent Li1+ and one H1+ atom. I1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li1+ atoms.
