Materials Data on LiB(CN)4 by Materials Project
LiBC4N4 is Tetraauricupride structured and crystallizes in the cubic P-43m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one boron, metallic molecule and one Li(CN)4 cluster. In the Li(CN)4 cluster, Li1+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent N3- atoms. All Li–N bond lengths are 2.06 Å. C2+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.16 Å. N3- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Li1+ and one C2+ atom.
