The material structure described by LiNiSnO4 is Spinel-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Li(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ni(1)O6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 55-64°. Ni(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form NiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Ni(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra. Sn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form SnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Ni(1)O6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Li(1), one Ni(1), and two equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form distorted OLiNiSn2 trigonal pyramids that share corners with six equivalent O(2)LiNi2Sn tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent O(1)LiNiSn2 trigonal pyramids, edges with two equivalent O(2)LiNi2Sn tetrahedra, and  an edgeedge with one O(1)LiNiSn2 trigonal pyramid. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to one Li(1), two equivalent Ni(1), and one Sn(1) atom to form distorted OLiNi2Sn tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent O(2)LiNi2Sn tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent O(1)LiNiSn2 trigonal pyramids,  an edgeedge with one O(2)LiNi2Sn tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent O(1)LiNiSn2 trigonal pyramids. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
