Title: Materials Data on Ca3Mg(SiO4)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ca3MgSi2O8 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.27–2.87 Å. In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.32–2.87 Å. In the third Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.24–2.87 Å. Mg2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with six SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.19 Å. There are two inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent MgO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 7–45°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.62–1.67 Å. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that sharemore » corners with three equivalent MgO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 11–50°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.63–1.66 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four Ca2+, one Mg2+, and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Ca2+, one Mg2+, and one Si4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ca2+, one Mg2+, and one Si4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Ca2+, one Mg2+, and one Si4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three Ca2+, one Mg2+, and one Si4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Ca2+ and one Si4+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four Ca2+, one Mg2+, and one Si4+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two Ca2+ and one Si4+ atom.« less
