Title: Materials Data on Ca2Al2SiO7 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ca2Al2SiO7 is Esseneite-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P-42_1m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.42–2.99 Å. Al3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one AlO4 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.73–1.80 Å. Si4+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent AlO4 tetrahedra. All Si–O bond lengths are 1.65 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to three equivalent Ca2+ and one Al3+ atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OCa3Al tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca2+, one Al3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Ca2+ and two equivalent Al3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OCa2Al2 tetrahedra.
