Materials Data on CaMn(SiO3)2 by Materials Project
CaMnSi2O6 is Esseneite structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.86 Å. Mn2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 2.15–2.26 Å. Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent MnO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 34–59°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.60–1.71 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca2+ and two equivalent Si4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Ca2+, one Mn2+, and one Si4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, two equivalent Mn2+, and one Si4+ atom.
