SrO8(BH)12 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure consists of thirty-six hydridoboron(2.) (singlet) molecules inside a SrO8 framework. In the SrO8 framework, Sr(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sr(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sr(1) and one O(2) atom.
SrO8(BH)12 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure consists of thirty-six hydridoboron(2.) (singlet) molecules inside a SrO8 framework. In the SrO8 framework, Sr(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. Both Sr(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.39 Å. All Sr(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 3.09 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sr(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sr(1) and one O(2) atom. The O(2)-O(2) bond length is 1.22 Å.
