Title: Materials Data on Ca(BH)12 by Materials Project

Abstract

CaB12H12 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of twenty-four boranediylradical molecules and four Ca(BH)6 clusters. In each Ca(BH)6 cluster, Ca2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six H+0.83+ atoms. There are a spread of Ca–H bond distances ranging from 2.37–2.42 Å. There are three inequivalent B1- sites. In the first B1- site, B1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one H+0.83+ atom. The B–H bond length is 1.21 Å. In the second B1- site, B1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one H+0.83+ atom. The B–H bond length is 1.21 Å. In the third B1- site, B1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one H+0.83+ atom. The B–H bond length is 1.20 Å. There are three inequivalent H+0.83+ sites. In the first H+0.83+ site, H+0.83+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Ca2+ and one B1- atom. In the second H+0.83+ site, H+0.83+ is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ca2+ and one B1- atom. In the third H+0.83+ site, H+0.83+ is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ca2+ and one B1- atom.
