The structure described by Li3V2(SiO5)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmce space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(3) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Si(1)O4 tetrahedra and edges with four equivalent Li(2)O6 octahedra. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form distorted LiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Li(2)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Si(1)O4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 51°. V(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one O(3), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms. Si(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent Li(2)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 59-62°. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), one Li(2), one V(1), and one Si(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li(2), one V(1), and one Si(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li(1), two equivalent Li(2), and one V(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
