Materials Data on NaB(H4O3)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

NaB(HO)6H2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two hydrogen molecules and one NaB(HO)6 ribbon oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. In the NaB(HO)6 ribbon, Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form edge-sharing NaO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.38–2.58 Å. B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.33–1.42 Å. There are six inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.02 Å) and one longer (1.63 Å) H–O bond length. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Na1+, one B3+, and one H1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one B3+ and one H1+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Na1+ and one H1+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Na1+, one B3+, and one H1+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Na1+ and two H1+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Na1+ and one H1+ atom.
