Materials Data on Ca2SiO4 by Materials Project
Ca2SiO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.24–2.76 Å. In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.23–2.53 Å. Si4+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There is three shorter (1.64 Å) and one longer (1.70 Å) Si–O bond length. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Ca2+ and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Ca2+ and one Si4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Ca2+ and one Si4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Ca2+ and one Si4+ atom.
