The Materials Project

Zn2SiO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zn2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Zn–O bond distances ranging from 2.01–2.57 Å. Si4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing SiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 37°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.76–1.92 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Zn2+ and two equivalent Si4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three equivalent Zn2+ and one Si4+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OZn3Si tetrahedra.
