Unexpected structural complexity : Well‐crystallized Mg(BH 4 ) 2 powder is obtained, allowing the structure to be determined from synchrotron X‐ray and neutron diffraction data. Mg(BH 4 ) 2 is a novel and remarkably complex three‐dimensional framework in which each Mg 2+ ion (blue) is tetrahedrally coordinated by four [BH 4 ] − tetrahedra (B red, H gray; see picture).
