Materials Data on Hg3(BO3)2 by Materials Project
Hg3(BO3)2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of six Hg3(BO3)2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Hg2+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both Hg–O bond lengths are 2.06 Å. B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent O2- atoms. All B–O bond lengths are 1.39 Å. O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Hg2+ and one B3+ atom.
