Hydrothermal synthesis and crystal structure of a new lithium copper bismuth oxide, LiCuBiO4

In the crystal structure of LiCuBiO4 all metal atoms are coordinated octahedrally by six O atoms and LiO6 and CuO6 octahedra form the one-dimensional chains by edge-sharing along the b-axis. The LiO6 and CuO6 chains form the layer by face-sharing in the bc plane. The Bi atoms are placed in that interlayer and BiO6 octahedra are edge-sharing with LiO6 and CuO6 octahedra.304
