Theoretical evidence: The existence of inorganic double-helix structures at the atomic level is theoretically predicted. An unbiased quantum-chemical search for the global minimum structures of LixPx (x=5–9) species is performed. For the Li7P7–Li9P9 stoichiometries the global minimum structure has a peculiar double-helix form.
