The material described by BC7 is beta beryllia-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P3m1 space group. B(1) is bonded to one C(1) and three equivalent C(7) atoms to form BC4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent C(5)C4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent C(6)C4 tetrahedra, and corners with six equivalent B(1)C4 tetrahedra. There are seven inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded to one B(1) and three equivalent C(5) atoms to form CBC3 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent C(7)B3C tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent C(4)C4 tetrahedra, and corners with six equivalent C(1)BC3 tetrahedra.

In the third C site, C(3) is bonded to one C(2) and three equivalent C(4) atoms to form corner-sharing CC4 tetrahedra. In the fourth C site, C(4) is bonded to one C(5) and three equivalent C(3) atoms to form CC4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent C(1)BC3 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent C(2)C4 tetrahedra, and corners with six equivalent C(4)C4 tetrahedra. In the fifth C site, C(5) is bonded to one C(4) and three equivalent C(1) atoms to form CC4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent B(1)C4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent C(3)C4 tetrahedra, and corners with six equivalent C(5)C4 tetrahedra.
