β¦ Synopsis
Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Al3BC, the First Boridecarbide of Aluminum.
-Single crystals of the title compound are prepared by reacting pressed pellets of the elements at 850 β’ C (argon, 160 h, corundum crucible). The compound crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P63/ mmc with Z = 2. The structure of Al3BC consists of a close packing of Al (sequence ABACBC) with alternating layers of edge-sharing BAl6 octahedra and trigonal CAl5 bipyramids linked via common corners.
