Title: Materials Data on LiBH4 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiBH4 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two LiBH4 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Li1+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four H+0.50+ atoms. There are a spread of Li–H bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.12 Å. B3- is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four H+0.50+ atoms. All B–H bond lengths are 1.22 Å. There are four inequivalent H+0.50+ sites. In the first H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Li1+ and one B3- atom. In the second H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Li1+ and one B3- atom. In the third H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and one B3- atom. In the fourth H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Li1+ and one B3- atom.
