Description

The structure of the compound Ba2LiB5O10 has been established by single-crystal X-ray methods. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/m in a cell of dimensions a = 4.414(1), b = 14.576(2), c = 6.697(2) A* and β = 104.26(2)0 with Z = 2. Refinement from 2373 independent reflections affords the final residuals R = 0.021 and Rw = 0.042. The structure exhibits a unique one-dimensional polyborate anion built from two crystallographically independent BO3 groups and a distinct BO4 group that share vertices. The polyanions are bridged by a Li atom occupying a distorted tetrahedral site and a Ba atom occupying an irregular eightfold coordinate site
