The crystal structure described by LiGaO2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Li(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ga(1)O6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Ga(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 6°. Ga(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form GaO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Ga(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 6°. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent Ga(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi3Ga3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
