Materials Data on K3Gd(BH4)6 by Materials Project
Abstract
K3Gd(BH4)6 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent K1+ sites. In the first K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to seven H+0.50+ atoms. There are a spread of K–H bond distances ranging from 2.55–2.92 Å. In the second K1+ site, K1+ is bonded to six H+0.50+ atoms to form distorted KH6 octahedra that share corners with six BH4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of K–H bond distances ranging from 2.68–2.85 Å. Gd3+ is bonded to twelve H+0.50+ atoms to form distorted GdH12 cuboctahedra that share corners with two equivalent BH4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent BH4 tetrahedra, and faces with two equivalent BH4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Gd–H bond distances ranging from 2.23–2.41 Å. There are three inequivalent B3- sites. In the first B3- site, B3- is bonded to four H+0.50+ atoms to form BH4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one KH6 octahedra and an edgeedge with one GdH12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 72°. There are a spread of B–H bond distances ranging from 1.22–1.24 Å. In the second B3- site, B3- is bonded to four H+0.50+ atoms to form BH4 tetrahedra thatmore »
