Materials Data on Y2Si2O7 by Materials Project
Y2Si2O7 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y3+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form distorted YO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one YO7 pentagonal bipyramid, corners with four SiO4 tetrahedra, edges with three equivalent YO7 pentagonal bipyramids, and edges with two SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Y–O bond distances ranging from 2.23–2.50 Å. 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 four equivalent YO7 pentagonal bipyramids, a cornercorner with one SiO4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent YO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.62–1.70 Å. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent YO7 pentagonal bipyramids, a cornercorner with one SiO4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent YO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There is three shorter (1.63 Å) and one longer (1.69 Å) Si–O bond length. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Y3+ and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Y3+ and one Si4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Y3+ and two Si4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Y3+ and one Si4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Y3+ and one Si4+ atom.
