The structure described by LiCoSnO4 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 Co(1)O6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 54-65°. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra. Sn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) 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 Co(1)O6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), two equivalent Co(1), and one Sn(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), one Co(1), and two equivalent Sn(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
