The structure described by Li4VF8 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded to one F(2), one F(3), two equivalent F(1), and two equivalent F(5) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing LiF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 20-68°. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded to one F(1), one F(4), two equivalent F(2), and two equivalent F(5) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing LiF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 22-58°. V(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one F(3), one F(4), two equivalent F(1), two equivalent F(2), and two equivalent F(5) atoms. There are five inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(2), two equivalent Li(1), and one V(1) atom. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), two equivalent Li(2), and one V(1) atom. In the third F site, F(3) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Li(1) and one V(1) atom. In the fourth F site, F(4) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Li(2) and one V(1) atom. In the fifth F site, F(5) is bonded to two equivalent Li(1), two equivalent Li(2), and one V(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing FLi4V square pyramids. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
