The material structure described by Li2V3SnO8 is Spinel-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), one O(4), and one O(5) atom to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Li(2)O6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent V(2)O6 octahedra, and corners with three equivalent V(3)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-64°. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded to one O(3), one O(4), one O(5), one O(6), one O(7), and one O(8) atom to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent Sn(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent V(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent V(2)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent V(3)O6 octahedra.
