Non-crystalline lithium oxonitridophosphate (LiPON) is used as solid electrolyte in all-solid-state batteries. Crystalline lithium oxonitridophosphates are important model structures to retrieve analytical information that can be used to understand amorphous phases better. The new crystalline lithium oxonitridophosphate Li 5 + x P 2 O 6 À x N 1 + x was synthesized as an off-white powder by ampoule synthesis at 750-800 °C under Ar atmosphere. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2 1 /c with a = 15.13087(11) Å, b = 9.70682(9) Å, c = 8.88681(7) Å, and β = 106.8653(8)°. Two P(O,N) 4 tetrahedra connected by an N atom form the structural motif [P 2 O 6 À x N 1 + x ] (5 + x)À . The structure was elucidated from X-ray diffraction data and the model corroborated by NMR and infrared spectroscopy, and elemental analyses. Measurements of ionic conductivity show a total ionic conductivity of 6.8 × 10 À 7 S cm À 1 at 75 °C with an activation energy of 0.52 � 0.01 eV.
