Title: Materials Data on Mn5SiC by Materials Project

Abstract

Mn5SiC crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Si and two equivalent C atoms. Both Mn–Si bond lengths are 2.36 Å. Both Mn–C bond lengths are 1.99 Å. In the second Mn site, Mn is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Mn, two equivalent Si, and two equivalent C atoms. The Mn–Mn bond length is 2.53 Å. There are one shorter (2.27 Å) and one longer (2.47 Å) Mn–Si bond lengths. Both Mn–C bond lengths are 2.00 Å. In the third Mn site, Mn is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mn, three equivalent Si, and one C atom. The Mn–Mn bond length is 2.53 Å. There are a spread of Mn–Si bond distances ranging from 2.55–2.70 Å. The Mn–C bond length is 2.00 Å. In the fourth Mn site, Mn is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Si and two equivalent C atoms. Both Mn–Si bond lengths are 2.59 Å. Both Mn–C bond lengths are 2.18 Å. In the fifth Mn site, Mn is bondedmore » in a 2-coordinate geometry to six Mn, two equivalent Si, and two equivalent C atoms. Both Mn–Si bond lengths are 2.48 Å. Both Mn–C bond lengths are 2.69 Å. Si is bonded to twelve Mn atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing SiMn12 cuboctahedra. C is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to eight Mn atoms.« less
