Materials Data on K2Ti(SiO3)3 by Materials Project
K2TiSi3O9 crystallizes in the trigonal R3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent K1+ sites. In the first K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.78–3.02 Å. In the second K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.84–3.36 Å. There are two inequivalent Ti4+ sites. In the first Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with six SiO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.97 Å) and three longer (2.00 Å) Ti–O bond length. In the second Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with six SiO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.97 Å) and three longer (1.99 Å) Ti–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 corners with two TiO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 44–46°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.62–1.66 Å. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two TiO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 48°. There is two shorter (1.62 Å) and two longer (1.67 Å) Si–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one K1+, one Ti4+, and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one K1+ and two Si4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent K1+ and two Si4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two K1+, one Ti4+, and one Si4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one K1+, one Ti4+, and one Si4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two K1+, one Ti4+, and one Si4+ atom.
