Neutron diffraction studies of Li2CrCl4 at 350 °C are presented. The cubic high-temperature polymorph of Li2CrCl4 (space group Fd3̅m, Z = 8, R = 3.26%) crystallizes in an inverse spinel structure (cF56) with large Frenkel disorder of the tetrahedrally coordinated lithium ions. The occupation of the interstitial octahedral 16c sites by lithium ions is 38%, that of the tetrahedral 8a lattice sites only 24%. This large disorder is obviously the reason of the high ionic conductivity of Li2CrCl4 at elevated temperatures. There are some indications of a dynamic Jahn-Teller distortion of the CrCl6 units.

Single-crystal neutron diffraction reveals an enhancement of the guest-orderliness in a low-symmetric MOF, with an opposite scenario for its high-symmetric cousin. The mechanism behind this unusual effect is proposed.
