The compound described by LiP is Magnesium tetraboride-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent P(1) and three equivalent P(2) atoms. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent P(1) and three equivalent P(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1), three equivalent Li(2), and two equivalent P(2) atoms. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1), three equivalent Li(2), and two equivalent P(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
