SiC is Moissanite-4H-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four C4- atoms to form corner-sharing SiC4 tetrahedra. All Si–C bond lengths are 1.90 Å. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four C4- atoms to form corner-sharing SiC4 tetrahedra. All Si–C bond lengths are 1.90 Å. In the third Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four C4- atoms to form corner-sharing SiC4 tetrahedra. All Si–C bond lengths are 1.90 Å. In the fourth Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four C4- atoms to form corner-sharing SiC4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.89 Å) and one longer (1.90 Å) Si–C bond length. In the fifth Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four C4- atoms to form corner-sharing SiC4 tetrahedra. All Si–C bond lengths are 1.90 Å. In the sixth Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four equivalent C4- atoms to form corner-sharing SiC4 tetrahedra. All Si–C bond lengths are 1.90 Å. There are six inequivalent C4- sites. In the first C4- site, C4- is bonded to four Si4+ atoms to form corner-sharing CSi4 tetrahedra. In the second C4- site, C4- is bonded to four Si4+ atoms to form corner-sharing CSi4 tetrahedra. All C–Si bond lengths are 1.90 Å. In the third C4- site, C4- is bonded to four equivalent Si4+ atoms to form corner-sharing CSi4 tetrahedra. In the fourth C4- site, C4- is bonded to four Si4+ atoms to form corner-sharing CSi4 tetrahedra. In the fifth C4- site, C4- is bonded to four Si4+ atoms to form corner-sharing CSi4 tetrahedra. In the sixth C4- site, C4- is bonded to four Si4+ atoms to form corner-sharing CSi4 tetrahedra. All C–Si bond lengths are 1.90 Å.
