Materials Data on LiMnB2O5 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiMnB2O5 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.01–2.61 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are two shorter (1.99 Å) and two longer (2.14 Å) Li–O bond lengths. Mn3+ is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.87–1.96 Å. There are two inequivalent B3+ sites. In the first B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.37 Å) and one longer (1.41 Å) B–O bond length. In the second 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 1.36–1.43 Å. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Mn3+, and one B3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Mn3+, and one B3+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Mn3+, and one B3+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Mn3+, and one B3+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and two B3+ atoms.
