The compound described by Li6PO5Cl crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Li(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(2), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and one P(1) atom to form OLi3P tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent O(2)Li6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent O(1)Li3P tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent Cl(1)Li12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 58°. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to six equivalent Li(1) atoms to form OLi6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent O(1)Li3P tetrahedra and faces with four equivalent Cl(1)Li12 cuboctahedra. Cl(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Li(1) atoms to form ClLi12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Cl(1)Li12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent O(1)Li3P tetrahedra, and faces with four equivalent O(2)Li6 octahedra. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
