Abstract
B is beta Boron structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are fifteen inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six B atoms. There are a spread of B–B bond distances ranging from 1.75–1.77 Å. In the second B site, B is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight B atoms. There are a spread of B–B bond distances ranging from 1.76–1.88 Å. In the third B site, B is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six B atoms. There are a spread of B–B bond distances ranging from 1.69–1.86 Å. In the fourth B site, B is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six B atoms. There are a spread of B–B bond distances ranging from 1.70–1.85 Å. In the fifth B site, B is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six B atoms. There is one shorter (1.64 Å) and two longer (1.75 Å) B–B bond length. In the sixth B site, B is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to nine B atoms. There is three shorter (1.73 Å) and three longer (1.85 Å) B–B bond length. In themore »
