Materials Data on LiFeF3 by Materials Project
LiFeF3 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.52 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.52 Å. There are two inequivalent Fe2+ sites. In the first Fe2+ site, Fe2+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing FeF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 48°. There are a spread of Fe–F bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.15 Å. In the second Fe2+ site, Fe2+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing FeF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 48°. There are a spread of Fe–F bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.15 Å. There are six inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Fe2+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Fe2+ atoms. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four Li1+ and one Fe2+ atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four Li1+ and one Fe2+ atom. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded to two Li1+ and two equivalent Fe2+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing FLi2Fe2 trigonal pyramids. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded to two Li1+ and two equivalent Fe2+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing FLi2Fe2 trigonal pyramids.
