Materials Data on Nb(BMo)2 by Materials Project
Nb(MoB)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nb2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent B3- atoms. All Nb–B bond lengths are 2.49 Å. Mo2+ is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six equivalent B3- atoms. There are four shorter (2.39 Å) and two longer (2.47 Å) Mo–B bond lengths. B3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nb2+, six equivalent Mo2+, and one B3- atom. The B–B bond length is 1.89 Å.
