Materials Data on B6P by Materials Project
B6P is T-50 Boron-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five B and one P atom. There are a spread of B–B bond distances ranging from 1.75–1.81 Å. The B–P bond length is 1.92 Å. In the second B site, B is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six B atoms. There is one shorter (1.74 Å) and two longer (1.88 Å) B–B bond length. P is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to three equivalent B and one P atom. The P–P bond length is 2.25 Å.
