SiC is Moissanite-6H structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first 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 second 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 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. There are three 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. In the third C4- site, C4- is bonded to four Si4+ atoms to form corner-sharing CSi4 tetrahedra.
