The crystal structure described by LiO8 is alpha structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two LiO8 clusters. Li(1) is bonded in a hexagonal bipyramidal geometry to two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and four equivalent O(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(3) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li(1) and one O(2) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li(1) and one O(1) atom. In the third O site, O(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li(1) and one O(3) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
