The structure described by LiB crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Li(1) is bonded to six equivalent B(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing LiB6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 60°. B(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent B(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
