a The number n in the atom designation Bn,n refers to the B12-nth icosahedron to which the Bn,n belongs. Si6.n and B6.n belong to the B12Si3 unit.

b,c,d The Si and B sites are in the same interstice, which is assumed to be fully occupied by both Si and B atoms with occupancies of Occ.(Si) and Occ.(B), respectively, where Occ.(Si)+Occ.(B) = 1. Position of the boron atom was adjusted independently by fixing the thermal parameters at the same value as for the Si atom in the same interstice.

e The temperature factor is fixed at this value.

f Equivalent isotropic temperature factor. It was calculated from the relation Beq. = 4/3(a2β11 + b2β22 + c2β33).
