The transformation on heating LiCoMnO<sub>4</sub>, with a spinel structure, to LiCoMnO<sub>3</sub>, with a cation-disordered rock salt structure, accompanied by loss of 25% of the oxygen, has been followed using a combination of diffraction, microscopy and spectroscopy techniques. The transformation does not proceed by a topotactic mechanism, even though the spinel and rock salt phases have a similar, cubic close-packed oxygen sublattice. Instead, the transformation passes through two stages inv ...[more]
