Materials Data on B2Os by Materials Project
OsB2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Os6+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent B3- atoms. There are a spread of Os–B bond distances ranging from 2.18–2.30 Å. B3- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Os6+ and three equivalent B3- atoms. There is one shorter (1.83 Å) and two longer (1.91 Å) B–B bond length.
