Materials Data on Li2Cr(Si2O5)3 by Materials Project
Li2Cr(Si2O5)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmce space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both Li–O bond lengths are 1.95 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.99 Å) and two longer (2.00 Å) Li–O bond length. Cr4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with six SiO4 tetrahedra. There is four shorter (1.93 Å) and two longer (1.96 Å) Cr–O bond length. There are three inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CrO6 octahedra and corners with three SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 38°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.61–1.66 Å. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CrO6 octahedra and corners with three SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.62–1.64 Å. In the third Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CrO6 octahedra and corners with three SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 38°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.61–1.65 Å. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Si4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Cr4+, and one Si4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Si4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two Si4+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Si4+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Si4+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Si4+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cr4+, and one Si4+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Li1+, one Cr4+, and one Si4+ atom.
