Materials Data on LiBC by Materials Project
LiBC crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent C4- atoms. All Li–C bond lengths are 2.37 Å. B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent C4- atoms. All B–C bond lengths are 1.59 Å. C4- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Li1+ and three equivalent B3+ atoms.
