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)...
