Materials Data on LiNO2 by Materials Project
LiNO2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing LiO6 pentagonal pyramids. There are four shorter (2.26 Å) and two longer (2.33 Å) Li–O bond lengths. N3+ is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both N–O bond lengths are 1.27 Å. O2- is bonded to three equivalent Li1+ and one N3+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLi3N tetrahedra.
