The compound crystallized in the orthorhombic system, and was characterized to be in the space group Aba2, with cell parameters of a = 11.0579(10)angstrom, b = 11.1695(10)A, c = 9.0504(9)angstrom, Z = 4, and V = 1117.83(18)angstrom(3). In the crystal structure, intermolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a supramolecular structure, in which they may be effective in stabilizing the structure. The B atom espouses a distorted tetrahedral geometry with four O atoms of carbonate ligands.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle3745472-s2.0-85113180208Q4WOS:000682937800003N/A
