description: Mg3BH2O5F crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Mg2+ sites. In the first Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MgO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 57–59°. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.16 Å. In the second Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to four O2- and two equivalent F1- atoms to form MgO4F2 octahedra that share corners with four MgO5F octahedra and edges with four MgO4F2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 56–59°. There are one shorter (2.05 Å) and three longer (2.13 Å) Mg–O bond lengths. Both Mg–F bond lengths are 2.07 Å. In the third Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to four O2- and two equivalent F1- atoms to form MgO4F2 octahedra that share corners with four MgO5F octahedra and edges with four MgO4F2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 55–57°. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.14 Å. Both Mg–F bond lengths are 2.07 Å.
