Materials Data on Li2Cr(BO2)5 by Materials Project
Li2Cr(BO2)5 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted LiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one BO4 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent CrO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.07 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are two shorter (1.98 Å) and two longer (2.07 Å) Li–O bond lengths. Cr3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form CrO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.90 Å) and two longer (1.91 Å) Cr–O bond length. There are five inequivalent B3+ sites. In the first 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 1.36–1.42 Å. 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 1.36–1.42 Å. In the third 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 1.35–1.41 Å. In the fourth B3+ site, B3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form BO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.46–1.52 Å. In the fifth 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 1.35–1.41 Å. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cr3+, and one B3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cr3+, and one B3+ atom.

In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Cr3+, and one B3+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Cr3+, and one B3+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+ and two B3+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two B3+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and two B3+ atoms. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two B3+ atoms.
