The structure described by LiFe2O3 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. Li(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(2) and three equivalent O(3) atoms to form distorted LiO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent Fe(1)O6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent Fe(2)O6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Fe(1)O6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Fe(2)O6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 1-16°. There are two inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent Fe(2)O6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Fe(2)O6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Fe(1)O6 octahedra.
