Materials Data on Li2Cr(Si2O5)3 by Materials Project
Li2Cr(Si2O5)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.96 Å) and two longer (1.98 Å) Li–O bond length. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent O2- atoms. All Li–O bond lengths are 2.22 Å. Cr4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with six SiO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.92 Å) and three longer (1.95 Å) Cr–O bond length. There are two 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 39°. There is three shorter (1.62 Å) and one longer (1.67 Å) Si–O bond length. 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 39°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.62–1.64 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Si4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Si4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and two equivalent Si4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Si4+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cr4+, and one Si4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Cr4+, and one Si4+ atom.
