In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded to one Li(1), two equivalent Li(2), one Ni(3), and two equivalent Ni(2) atoms to form OLi3Ni3 octahedra that share  a cornercorner with one O(1)Li3Co2Ni octahedra,  a cornercorner with one O(9)Li3Ni3 octahedra, corners with four equivalent O(3)Li3Ni3 octahedra, edges with two equivalent O(4)Li3CoNi2 octahedra, edges with two equivalent O(2)Li3Ni3 octahedra, edges with two equivalent O(3)Li3Ni3 octahedra, edges with two equivalent O(5)Li3Ni3 octahedra, edges with two equivalent O(6)Li3Ni3 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent O(8)Li3Ni3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-3°. In the seventh O site, O(7) is bonded to one Li(3), two equivalent Li(4), one Ni(5), and two equivalent Ni(4) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi3Ni3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-1°. In the eighth O site, O(8) is bonded to one Li(2), two equivalent Li(3), one Ni(4), and two equivalent Ni(3) atoms to form OLi3Ni3 octahedra that share  a cornercorner with one O(4)Li3CoNi2 octahedra,  a cornercorner with one O(10)Li3Ni3 octahedra, corners with four equivalent O(5)Li3Ni3 octahedra, edges with two equivalent O(3)Li3Ni3 octahedra, edges with two equivalent O(5)Li3Ni3 octahedra, edges with two equivalent O(6)Li3Ni3 octahedra, edges with two equivalent O(7)Li3Ni3 octahedra, edges with two equivalent O(8)Li3Ni3 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent O(9)Li3Ni3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-1°. In the ninth O site, O(9) is bonded to one Li(5), two equivalent Li(4), one Ni(3), and two equivalent Ni(4) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi3Ni3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-1°. In the tenth O site, O(10) is bonded to one Li(4), two equivalent Li(5), one Ni(4), and two equivalent Ni(5) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi3Ni3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
