Materials Data on Ca(BH4)2 by Materials Project
Abstract
Ca(BH4)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of eight hydrogen molecules and two CaB2H6 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each CaB2H6 ribbon, Ca2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent B3- and six H+0.50+ atoms. Both Ca–B bond lengths are 2.78 Å. There are a spread of Ca–H bond distances ranging from 2.37–2.58 Å. B3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Ca2+ and three H+0.50+ atoms. There are a spread of B–H bond distances ranging from 1.20–1.23 Å. There are three inequivalent H+0.50+ sites. In the first H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one B3- atom. In the second H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca2+ and one B3- atom. In the third H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Ca2+ and one B3- atom.
