The compound described by LiNi(AsO4) is Spinel-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Li(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ni(1)O6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent As(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Ni(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent As(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 55-61°. Ni(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), and four equivalent O(3) atoms to form NiO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Ni(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent As(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one As(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-61°. As(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form AsO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Ni(1)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Ni(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 54-60°. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Li(1), one Ni(1), and one As(1) atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLi2NiAs trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Li(1), one Ni(1), and one As(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), two equivalent Ni(1), and one As(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
