In the thirteenth O site, O(13) is bonded in a distorted pentagonal planar geometry to one Li(10), one Li(8), one Li(9), one Zn(3), and one Ge(4) atom. In the fourteenth O site, O(14) is bonded to one Li(5), one Li(6), one Li(7), one Li(9), and one Ge(4) atom to form OLi4Ge trigonal bipyramids that share  a cornercorner with one O(1)Li2ZnGe tetrahedra,  a cornercorner with one O(10)Li2ZnGe tetrahedra,  a cornercorner with one O(9)Li2ZnGe tetrahedra,  a cornercorner with one O(2)Li3ZnGe trigonal bipyramid, and  a cornercorner with one O(12)Li2ZnGe trigonal pyramid. In the fifteenth O site, O(15) is bonded in a distorted pentagonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Li(10), one Li(6), one Li(8), and one Ge(4) atom. In the sixteenth O site, O(16) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Li(10), one Li(7), one Li(8), one Li(9), and one Ge(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
