Materials Data on Y(BO2)6 by Materials Project

Y(BO2)6 crystallizes in the trigonal R3c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O atoms. There are a spread of Y–O bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.49 Å. There are two inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.36–1.39 Å. In the second B site, B is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.45–1.51 Å. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Y and two B atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Y and one B atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Y and two B atoms. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two B atoms.
