An open-framework borophosphate, LiCu2BP2O8(OH)2

J. Zheng and A. Zhang

Abstract: The open-framework alkaline-earth metal borophosphate, lithium dicopper(II) borophosphate dihydroxide, LiCu2BP2O8(OH)2, was synthesized hydrothermally. Its structure may be regarded as a layer formed via BO4 and PO4 tetrahedra bonding together with distorted CuO6 and LiO6 octahedral units. Each P atom is connected to B, Li and Cu atoms through a bridging O atom. The B atom lies on a crystallographic twofold axis and the Li atom lies on a center of symmetry. The two metal centers are connected to each other by Cu-O-Li bonds.
