We determine the electronic structure of LiV2O5, which has two inequivalent , V(1) and V(2), vanadium ions, via density functional calculations. Estimates of the basic hopping matrix elements, obtained by a combination of the downfolding method and a tight-binding model, indicate a spin-1/2 zig-zag chain of V(1)-ions as the underlying microscopic model responsible for the experimentally observed magnetic behaviour. Comparison with the most studied NaV2O5 is presented.
