Title: Materials Data on LiBH4 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiBH4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five H+0.50+ atoms. There are a spread of Li–H bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.14 Å. B3- is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four H+0.50+ atoms. There is three shorter (1.22 Å) and one longer (1.23 Å) B–H bond length. There are three inequivalent H+0.50+ sites. In the first H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and one B3- atom. In the second H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two equivalent Li1+ and one B3- atom. In the third H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Li1+ and one B3- atom.
