In the second B site, B(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and one O(6) atom. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li(1), one Co(1), one Co(2), and one B(2) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to one Li(1), one Co(1), one Co(2), and one B(2) atom to form distorted OLiCo2B tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent O(5)LiCo2B tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent O(3)Li2CoB trigonal pyramids, and corners with three equivalent O(6)Li2CoB trigonal pyramids. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded to one Li(1), one Li(2), one Co(1), and one B(1) atom to form distorted OLi2CoB trigonal pyramids that share corners with two equivalent O(2)LiCo2B tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent O(5)LiCo2B tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent O(6)Li2CoB trigonal pyramids. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li(2), one Co(1), one Co(2), and one B(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded to one Li(2), one Co(1), one Co(2), and one B(1) atom to form distorted OLiCo2B tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent O(2)LiCo2B tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent O(6)Li2CoB trigonal pyramids, and corners with three equivalent O(3)Li2CoB trigonal pyramids. In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded to one Li(1), one Li(2), one Co(2), and one B(2) atom to form distorted OLi2CoB trigonal pyramids that share corners with two equivalent O(5)LiCo2B tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent O(2)LiCo2B tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent O(3)Li2CoB trigonal pyramids. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
