The structure described by Ba3Li4Sn8 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1), one Sn(2), and four equivalent Sn(1) atoms. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sn(2) and two equivalent Sn(3) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ba sites. In the first Ba site, Ba(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1), one Sn(3), three equivalent Sn(2), and six equivalent Sn(1) atoms. In the second Ba site, Ba(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sn(2), four equivalent Sn(1), and four equivalent Sn(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1), one Ba(2), and three equivalent Ba(1) atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li(1), two equivalent Li(2), one Ba(2), and three equivalent Ba(1) atoms. In the third Sn site, Sn(3) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(2), one Ba(1), and two equivalent Ba(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
