The Materials Project

(Hg)2HgSi is alpha Niobium phosphide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Hg sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction and two HgSi sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each Hg sheet, Hg+1.33+ is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Hg+1.33+ atoms. All Hg–Hg bond lengths are 3.05 Å. In each HgSi sheet, Hg+1.33+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Si4- atoms. All Hg–Si bond lengths are 3.05 Å. Si4- is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Hg+1.33+ atoms.
