The structure described by LiCoSnO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Li(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 7-17°. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra. Sn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form SnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 7-17°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), two equivalent Co(1), and one Sn(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Li(1), one Co(1), and two equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi2CoSn2 square pyramids. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
