Materials Data on LiCr(SiO3)2 by Materials Project
LiCrSi2O6 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.83 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.01–2.57 Å. There are two inequivalent Cr3+ sites. In the first Cr3+ site, Cr3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with five SiO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one CrO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.12 Å. In the second Cr3+ site, Cr3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with six SiO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent CrO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.04 Å. There are three inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three CrO6 octahedra and corners with two SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–48°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.61–1.69 Å. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three CrO6 octahedra and corners with two SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 32–56°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.60–1.68 Å. In the third Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two CrO6 octahedra, corners with two SiO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one CrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–63°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.61–1.69 Å. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Li1+, one Cr3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cr3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Li1+ and two Si4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Cr3+ and two Si4+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Li1+, one Cr3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li1+, two Cr3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, two Cr3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Li1+, one Cr3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+ and two Si4+ atoms.
