Title: Materials Data on Mg(BH4)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Mg(BH4)2 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Mg(BH4)2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Mg2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent H+0.50+ atoms. All Mg–H bond lengths are 2.06 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 two inequivalent H+0.50+ sites. In the first H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Mg2+ and one B3- atom. In the second H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one B3- atom.
