Materials Data on Cd(BO2)2 by Materials Project
Cd(BO2)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pccn space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cd2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cd–O bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.71 Å. There are two inequivalent B3+ sites. In the first B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.37 Å) and one longer (1.38 Å) B–O bond length. In the second B3+ site, B3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing BO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.49 Å) and two longer (1.51 Å) B–O bond length. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cd2+ and two B3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent Cd2+ and one B3+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cd2+ and two B3+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Cd2+ and two equivalent B3+ atoms.
