LiInSiO4: a new monovalent-trivalent olivine

The structure of the olivine LiInSiO4 (lithium indium silicate) is isotypic with LiScSiO4 and MgMgSiO4 (forsterite). The main differences between the title compound and the divalent–divalent olivines are found for the bond lengths and angles opposite common edges between the tetrahedron and the Li+...

Summary:The structure of the olivine LiInSiO4 (lithium indium silicate) is isotypic with LiScSiO4 and MgMgSiO4 (forsterite). The main differences between the title compound and the divalent–divalent olivines are found for the bond lengths and angles opposite common edges between the tetrahedron and the Li+ and In3+ ion sites. The tetrahedron shares one common edge with the Li+ site and two common edges with the In3+ site. The tetrahedron is distinctly distorted, as are the Li+ and In3+ sites.
