Materials Data on BPb3 by Materials Project
B(Pb)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of four boron molecules and one Pb framework. In the Pb framework, there are two inequivalent Pb sites. In the first Pb site, Pb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Pb atoms. There are a spread of Pb–Pb bond distances ranging from 3.18–3.52 Å. In the second Pb site, Pb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pb atoms.
