- The structure given in Strukturbericht (Herrmann, 1943) does not list the hydrogen positions, instead giving positions for Li, OH and H$_{2}$O. (Alcock, 1971) found the hydrogen positions.
\[ \begin{array}{ccc}
\mathbf{a_{1}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}- \frac{1}{2}b \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}\\\mathbf{a_{2}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{1}{2}b \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}\\\mathbf{a_{3}}&=&c \cos{\beta} \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+c \sin{\beta} \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}
