The crystal structure described by LiCrMn3O8 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Li(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Mn(2)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 12°. Cr(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(3) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Mn(2)O6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Mn(2)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 12°. In the second Mn site, Mn(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Mn(2)O6 octahedra. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), one Cr(1), one Mn(1), and one Mn(2) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), one Mn(1), and two equivalent Mn(2) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Cr(1) and two equivalent Mn(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
