Abstract

LiBD 4 and LiNH 2 precursors.To avoid the high absorption of natural boron, pure 11 B was used.The isotopically labeled, mixed H/D sample enabled the determination of D/H occupancies on the four distinct sites.The structure was analysed by Rietveld refinement, proving the space group and revealing H-N-N and D-B-D bond angles and metal -hydrogen atomic distances.
