Materials Data on CuBO2 by Materials Project
CuBO2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cu1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both Cu–O bond lengths are 1.91 Å. B3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form edge-sharing BO6 octahedra. All B–O bond lengths are 1.70 Å. O2- is bonded to one Cu1+ and three equivalent B3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OCuB3 trigonal pyramids.
