Materials Data on Ca3Ga2(SiO4)3 by Materials Project
Ca3Ga2Si3O12 crystallizes in the cubic Ia-3d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.37 Å) and four longer (2.52 Å) Ca–O bond lengths. Ga3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form GaO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. All Ga–O bond lengths are 2.02 Å. Si4+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent GaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 46°. All Si–O bond lengths are 1.66 Å. O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca2+, one Ga3+, and one Si4+ atom.
