The crystal structure described by LiFePO4 is Ilmenite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma 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 P(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Fe(1)O6 octahedra. Fe(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Fe(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra. P(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Fe(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-52°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Li(1), one Fe(1), and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), two equivalent Fe(1), and one P(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
