Materials Data on LiC6 by Materials Project
LiC6 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to twelve equivalent C+0.17- atoms to form face-sharing LiC12 cuboctahedra. All Li–C bond lengths are 2.36 Å. C+0.17- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li1+ and three equivalent C+0.17- atoms. All C–C bond lengths are 1.44 Å.
