In the second Fe site, Fe(2) is bonded to one F(2), one F(5), one F(6), one F(8), and two equivalent F(4) atoms to form FeF6 octahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Fe(1)F6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent Fe(2)F6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Li(2)F5 square pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-11°. There are nine inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Li(2) and two equivalent Fe(1) atoms.
