The compound described by LiFeSiO4 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3 space group. There are three inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent O(2) and three equivalent O(3) atoms. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded to three equivalent O(3) and three equivalent O(4) atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Fe(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with six equivalent Si(1)O4 tetrahedra. In the third Li site, Li(3) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent O(1) atoms. Fe(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form FeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Li(2)O6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent Si(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 66-69°. Si(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Li(2)O6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent Fe(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-66°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li(3), one Fe(1), and one Si(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Fe(1), and one Si(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li(1), one Li(2), one Fe(1), and one Si(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li(2), one Fe(1), and one Si(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
