Materials Data on LiCuO by Materials Project
LiCuO crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two LiCuO sheets oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. Li1+ is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both Li–O bond lengths are 1.87 Å. Cu1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both Cu–O bond lengths are 1.85 Å. O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li1+ and two equivalent Cu1+ atoms.
