Title: Materials Data on LiY(BH4)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiY(BH4)4 crystallizes in the tetragonal P-42c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two LiY(BH4)4 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Li1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight H+0.50+ atoms. There are four shorter (2.10 Å) and four longer (2.24 Å) Li–H bond lengths. Y3+ is bonded to twelve H+0.50+ atoms to form distorted YH12 cuboctahedra that share faces with four equivalent BH4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Y–H bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.35 Å. B3- is bonded to four H+0.50+ atoms to form BH4 tetrahedra that share a faceface with one YH12 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of B–H bond distances ranging from 1.21–1.25 Å. There are four inequivalent H+0.50+ sites. In the first H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Li1+ and one B3- atom. In the second H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Y3+ and one B3- atom. In the third H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Y3+, and one B3- atom. In the fourth H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Y3+ and one B3- atom.
