Figure 7
Triangular complex anion [Zn(BH4)3] and [Zn(BH4)Cl2] in A8 cage of alkali metals (green). The conrotation of three BH4 groups is visible which maximizes the H⋯H contacts. Note the increased deformation of the alkali cage when moving from the larger K to the smaller Na. Close contacts Zn–BH4 between neighboring triangular complex anions in the Na compound are shown by a dashed line.
