Title: Materials Data on Li3BH6 by Materials Project

Abstract

Li6BH4BH4(H2)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of two hydrogen molecules, one BH4 cluster, and one Li6BH4 framework. In the BH4 cluster, B3- is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four H atoms. All B–H bond lengths are 1.23 Å. There are four inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one B3- atom. In the second H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one B3- atom. In the third H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one B3- atom. In the fourth H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one B3- atom. In the Li6BH4 framework, there are six inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two H atoms. There is one shorter (1.85 Å) and one longer (1.88 Å) Li–H bond length. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one B3- and two H atoms. The Li–B bond length is 2.27 Å. There is one shorter (1.81 Å) and one longer (1.97 Å) Li–H bond length. In themore » third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one H atom. The Li–H bond length is 1.89 Å. In the fourth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two H atoms. There is one shorter (1.91 Å) and one longer (1.94 Å) Li–H bond length. In the fifth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two H atoms. There is one shorter (1.83 Å) and one longer (1.84 Å) Li–H bond length. In the sixth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two H atoms. There is one shorter (1.86 Å) and one longer (1.91 Å) Li–H bond length. B3- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and two H atoms. There is one shorter (1.25 Å) and one longer (1.28 Å) B–H bond length. There are four inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three Li1+ atoms. In the second H site, H is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two Li1+ and one B3- atom. In the third H site, H is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two Li1+ and one B3- atom. In the fourth H site, H is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Li1+ atoms.« less
