CsBeH3 is Potassium chlorate structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. Cs(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent H(2) and six equivalent H(1) atoms. Be(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one H(2) and two equivalent H(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Be(1) atom. In the second H site, H(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Be(1) atom.
CsBeH3 is Potassium chlorate structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. Cs(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent H(2) and six equivalent H(1) atoms. There is one shorter (3.05 Å) and two longer (3.28 Å) Cs(1)-H(2) bond lengths. There are a spread of Cs(1)-H(1) bond distances ranging from 3.05-3.24 Å. Be(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one H(2) and two equivalent H(1) atoms. The Be(1)-H(2) bond length is 1.40 Å. Both Be(1)-H(1) bond lengths are 1.40 Å. There are two inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Be(1) atom. In the second H site, H(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Be(1) atom.
