There are two inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), one O(6), and one O(8) atom to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Mn(1)O5 trigonal bipyramid,  a cornercorner with one Mn(2)O5 trigonal bipyramid, and  an edgeedge with one Mn(1)O5 trigonal bipyramid. In the second Si site, Si(2) is bonded to one O(1), one O(4), one O(5), and one O(7) atom to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Mn(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids and corners with four equivalent Mn(2)O5 trigonal bipyramids. There are eight inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Mn(2), and one Si(2) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Mn(1), and one Si(1) atom.

In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Mn(2) and one Si(2) atom. In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li(2), one Mn(1), and one Si(1) atom. In the seventh O site, O(7) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li(2), one Mn(1), and one Si(2) atom. In the eighth O site, O(8) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(2), one Mn(2), and one Si(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
