Abstract

Yes or no? Mayenite without the clathrated oxygen can be classified as an inorganic electride based on combined charge-density (see picture, A) and electron-localization-function (ELF) analysis (B). Ionic chemical bonds are found to form between extra electrons and the positively charged crystal framework in this material.
