Abstract
The crystal structure of solvent-free Li_2B_(12)H_(12) has been determined by powder X-ray diffraction and confirmed by a combination of neutron vibrational spectroscopy and first-principles calculations. This compound is a possible intermediate in the dehydrogenation of LiBH_4, and its structural characterization is crucial for understanding the decomposition and regeneration of LiBH_4. Our results reveal that the structure of Li_2B_(12)H_(12) differs from other known alkali-metal (K, Rb, and Cs) derivatives.
