Thermal Polymorphism in CsCB₁₁H₁₂.

ABSTRACT: Thermal polymorphism in the alkali-metal salts incorporating the icosohedral monocarba-hydridoborate anion, CB₁₁H₁₂^-, results in intriguing dynamical properties leading to superionic conductivity for the lightest alkali-metal analogues, LiCB₁₁H₁₂ and NaCB₁₁H₁₂. As such, these two have been the focus of most recent CB₁₁H₁₂^- related studies, with less attention paid to the heavier alkali-metal salts, such as CsCB₁₁H₁₂. Nonetheless, it is of fundamental importance to compare the nature of the structural arrangements and interactions across the entire alkali-metal series. Thermal polymorphism in CsCB₁₁H₁₂ was investigated using a combination
