The authors thank N. Amstutz for help with the synthesis. The assistance of W. van Beek with the synchrotron data collection and the help of D. Sheptyakov with the neutron data collection are highly appreciated. The synchrotron data used for the indexing were measured by G. Renaudin. This work was supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Swiss Federal Office of Energy.

Graphical Abstract

Unerwartet komplexe Strukturen: Die strukturelle Charakterisierung von gut kristallisiertem Mg(BH4)2-Pulver anhand von Synchrotron-Röntgenbeugungs- und Neutronenbeugungsdaten enthüllte, dass Mg(BH4)2 ein neuartiges und bemerkenswert komplexes dreidimensionales Gerüst bildet, in dem jedes Mg2+-Ion (blau) tetraedrisch von vier [BH4]-Ionen umgeben ist (B rot, H grau; siehe Bild).
