Materials Data on Al3BN4 by Materials Project
Al3BN4 is Lavarevi\'{c}ite structured and crystallizes in the cubic P-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Al3+ is bonded to four equivalent N3- atoms to form AlN4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent BN4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent AlN4 tetrahedra. All Al–N bond lengths are 1.89 Å. B3+ is bonded to four equivalent N3- atoms to form BN4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent AlN4 tetrahedra. All B–N bond lengths are 1.66 Å. N3- is bonded to three equivalent Al3+ and one B3+ atom to form corner-sharing NAl3B tetrahedra.
