Large Li2FeSiO4 single crystals featuring the high temperature Pmnb-phase (γ-Li2FeSiO4) were grown for the first time by the optical floating zone method under high Ar-pressure and the single crystal structure was solved. The system exhibits tetrahedrally coordinated Fe2+ ions in a high-spin (i.e.,
