Abstract

CsLiB6O10 crystallizes in the orthorhombic P222_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–O bond distances ranging from 3.18–3.61 Å. Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted LiO4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with four BO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.00 Å. There are eight inequivalent B3+ sites. In the first B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.36–1.41 Å. In the second B3+ site, B3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form BO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO4 trigonal pyramids. All B–O bond lengths are 1.48 Å.
