The structure described by LiC2H3O5 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. Li(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and two equivalent O(5) atoms to form corner-sharing LiO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one O(1) and one O(2) atom. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one O(3) and one O(4) atom. There are three inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one O(2) and one O(4) atom. In the second H site, H(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(5) atom. In the third H site, H(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(5) atom. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Li(1) and one C(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one C(1), and one H(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li(1) and one C(2) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one C(2) and one H(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded to two equivalent Li(1), one H(2), and one H(3) atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLi2H2 tetrahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
