Materials Data on LiBeB by Materials Project

LiBeB crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one LiBeB sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Li1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent B3- atoms. There are one shorter (2.28 Å) and two longer (2.33 Å) Li–B bond lengths. Be2+ is bonded to four equivalent B3- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing BeB4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Be–B bond distances ranging from 1.88–1.96 Å. B3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li1+, four equivalent Be2+, and two equivalent B3- atoms. Both B–B bond lengths are 1.74 Å.

Materials Data on LiBeB by Materials Project

LiBeB crystallizes in the trigonal P3m1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two lithium molecules; two Be2B sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction; and one LiB sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each Be2B sheet, there are two inequivalent Be2+ sites. In the first Be2+ site, Be2+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent B3- atoms. All Be–B bond lengths are 1.91 Å. In the second Be2+ site, Be2+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent B3- atoms. All Be–B bond lengths are 1.94 Å. B3- is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six Be2+ atoms. In the LiB sheet, there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six B3- atoms. All Li–B bond lengths are 2.37 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six B3- atoms. All Li–B bond lengths are 2.16 Å. There are two inequivalent B3- sites. In the first B3- site, B3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Li1+ and three equivalent B3- atoms. All B–B bond lengths are 1.89 Å. In the second B3- site, B3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Li1+ and three equivalent B3- atoms.
