Title: Materials Data on B by Materials Project

Abstract

B crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of three boron molecules and one B framework. In the B framework, there are fourteen inequivalent B sites. In the first 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 1.69–1.83 Å. In the second 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 1.63–1.82 Å. In the third 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 1.75–1.96 Å. In the fourth B site, B is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six B atoms. There is one shorter (1.71 Å) and two longer (1.78 Å) B–B bond length. In the fifth 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 1.72–1.76 Å. In the sixth B site, B is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five B atoms. There is one shorter (1.70 Å) and one longer (1.96more » Å) B–B bond length. In the seventh B site, B is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six B atoms. All B–B bond lengths are 1.84 Å. In the eighth B site, B is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight B atoms. Both B–B bond lengths are 1.87 Å. In the ninth B site, B is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six B atoms. There is three shorter (1.83 Å) and two longer (1.94 Å) B–B bond length. In the tenth 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 1.75–1.90 Å. In the eleventh B site, B is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven B atoms. There are a spread of B–B bond distances ranging from 1.83–2.01 Å. In the twelfth 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 1.72–1.79 Å. In the thirteenth B site, B is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight B atoms. In the fourteenth B site, B is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six B atoms. Both B–B bond lengths are 1.78 Å.« less
