Materials Data on LiGeBO4 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiBGeO4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-4 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form distorted LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent BO4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra. All Li–O bond lengths are 2.02 Å. B3+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form BO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra. All B–O bond lengths are 1.48 Å. Ge4+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent BO4 tetrahedra. All Ge–O bond lengths are 1.78 Å. O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Li1+, one B3+, and one Ge4+ atom.
