B1Br2Li1
B1Br2Li1 is a metastable, semiconducting ternary compound containing boron, bromine, and lithium.

About B1Br2Li1
B1Br2Li1 is a ternary compound composed of boron, bromine, and lithium. As a semiconducting material, it exhibits electronic properties that place it within a specialized category of inorganic compounds currently under investigation for potential solid-state applications.
Despite the significant number of reported structures, this compound is characterized by its position above the thermodynamic hull. This suggests that the material is metastable, requiring specific synthesis conditions to stabilize its configuration for experimental analysis.
Key Properties
