Title: Materials Data on MgSiO3 by Materials Project

Abstract

MgSiO3 is Esseneite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mg2+ sites. In the first Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent MgO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.05–2.23 Å. In the second Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.67 Å. Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent MgO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 38–61°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.62–1.67 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Mg2+ and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two Mg2+ and one Si4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150more » degrees geometry to one Mg2+ and two equivalent Si4+ atoms.« less
