The 2B25, dimagnesium pentaeicosaboride, was reexamined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The structural model previously reported on the basis of powder X-ray diffraction data [Giunchi et al. (2006). Solid State Sci. 8, 1202–1208] has been confirmed, although a much higher precision was achieved, leading to much smaller standard uncertainties on bond lengths and refined occupancy factors. Moreover, all atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters. Mg2B25 crystallizes in the β-boron structure type and is isostructural with other rhombohedral compounds of the boron-rich metal boride family. Magnesium atoms are found in interstitial sites on special positions (two with .m, one with .2 and one with 3m), all with partial occupancies.

A small crystal fragment was cut out from a polished thin section of a MgB2 bulk sample. This sample was obtained by the Mg-RLI process (Giunchi, 2003) under particular mild conditions (low temperature and short heat treatment) in order to have a consistent Mg2B25 fraction in the final sample. Thus, this small crystal does not have to be considered as a representative product of the Mg-RLI process, but just a sample synthesized ad hoc. The extracted crystal fragment was used for the X-ray single-crystal diffraction study.
The
was performed starting from the atomic coordinates reported by Giunchi et al. (2006). Convergence was rapidly obtained for an anisotropic model of the structure. The site–occupancy factor of the Mg positions and of some of the B positions (i.e., B4 and B13) was left free to vary.Data collection: CrysAlis CCD (Oxford Diffraction, 2006); cell

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The interest for a detailed description of the phase diagram of the Mg–B system has greatly increased with the recent discovery of the superconductivity of the MgB2 species (Nagamatsu et al., 2001). Up to now the only well-characterized crystalline phases of this binary system are the MgB2 (Russell et al., 1953; Jones & Marsh, 1954), MgB4 (Naslain et al., 1973), MgB7 (Guette et al., 1981), MgB12 (Adasch et al., 2006a), MgB17.4 (Adasch et al., 2006b), MgB20 (Brutti et al., 2002) and Mg5B44 (Pediaditakis et al., 2010) species. Giunchi et al. (2006) reported on the crystal structure determination, by laboratory X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) methods, of the Mg2B25 species. This compound was isolated during a side study of the research aimed at the synthesis of MgB2 by infiltration of crystalline boron with liquid Mg (Giunchi, 2003) (process identified by Mg-RLI: Mg-Reactive Liquid Infiltration) in reaction conditions very different from the previous R3m members of the same family, i.e. with temperatures lower than 1033 K and reaction times of the order of one hour, in contrast to 1873 K and 40 h reported by Adasch et al. (2006a,b) and 1423 K, unreported reaction time, by Brutti et al. (2002).
With respect to the other published structures of the same rhombohedral family viz, MgB17.4 (Adasch et al., 2006b) and MgB20 (Brutti et al., 2002), Mg2B25 exhibits very small differences in the unit-cell parameters, but significant differences in the occupation of the interstitial magnesium sites, also with the identification of a new structural site never observed in the related metal borides. This site was labelled as Mg(N) by Giunchi et al. (2006). However, since the presence of partially occupied structural sites in the model obtained from XRPD data, some scepticism persisted in the literature about the true nature of the structure of Mg2B25. Here we present a re-examination of the crystal structure of Mg2B25 based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The structural model previously reported by Giunchi et al. (2006) has been confirmed, although a much higher precision refinement was achieved, accompanied with the refinement of all atoms with anisotropic displacement parameters.
Mg2B25 adopts the β-boron structure and crystallizes isostructurally with other rhombohedral compounds of the boron-rich metal boride family (Fig. 1). Magnesium atoms occupy interstitial sites with partial occupancies that can be interpreted with the aid of the analysis of impossible interatomic Mg···Mg contacts.
