See what you will probably never see in reality, thanks to the PCOD
Two-dimensional aluminoborate models (not DFT-optimized) as predicted by
GRINSP
Models selected among 4138 CIFs (PCOD 2009
update) including 3D, 2D, 1D
and 0D aluminoborates - AlO6
octahedra or trigonal prisms connected to BO3 triangles
exclusively by corner-sharing.
Note that these models are not electrically neutral
Not exhaustive list (more will be added during the next weeks, maybe)...
