Lithium manganite can refer to any of several mixed oxides of lithium and manganese.

LiMnO2 is a mixed oxide of lithium and manganese(III). It adopts a distorted halite (NaCl) structure, with the MnO6 octahedra being distorted by the Jahn–Teller effect of the d4 Mn3+ cation.[1]

LiMn2O4 contains both manganese(III) and manganese(IV). It adopts a spinel-type structure.[2]

Li2MnO3 is a manganese(IV) compound: it has been investicated as an electrode material in molten carbonate fuel cells.[3]
