Materials Data on LiIO3 by Materials Project
LiIO3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form face-sharing LiO6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.11 Å) and three longer (2.18 Å) Li–O bond lengths. O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li1+ and one I5+ atom. The O–I bond length is 1.83 Å. I5+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O2- atoms.
