Description

Using X-ray diffraction method, precise decoding of K2B6H6 crystal structure is realized. The following parameters of the unit cell are ascertained: cubic fcc lattice, spatial symmetry group Fm3m, z = 4, a = 8.839(2) A, V 690.6 A3, ρexp = 1.46, ρcalcld = 1.45 g/cm3, R = 0.016 for 1809 reflections, for which I > 1.96 σ (1). Anion B6H62- presents a regular octahedron of boron atoms; B-B bond length constitutes 1.721(3), and B-H - 1.07(2) A. Besides K2B6H6 isostructural compound Cs2B6H6 is studied
