First-order phase transition in the Li2B12H12 system

The thermal decomposition of anhydrous Pa[3 with combining macron] Li2B12H12 was studied in situ by high resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction. A first-order phase transition can be observed at 355 °C where the unit cell volume expands by ca. 8.7%. The expanded β-Li2B12H12 polymorph simultaneousl...
