The material structure described by LiTbO2 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Li(1) is bonded to one O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Tb(1)O6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with three equivalent Tb(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 6-73°. Tb(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form TbO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Tb(1)O6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with four equivalent Tb(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with three equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 53°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Li(1) and three equivalent Tb(1) atoms to form distorted OLiTb3 trigonal pyramids that share corners with six equivalent O(2)Li3Tb3 octahedra, corners with six equivalent O(1)LiTb3 trigonal pyramids, and edges with three equivalent O(2)Li3Tb3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 1-81°. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent Tb(1) atoms to form distorted OLi3Tb3 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent O(1)LiTb3 trigonal pyramids, edges with six equivalent O(2)Li3Tb3 octahedra, and edges with three equivalent O(1)LiTb3 trigonal pyramids. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
