Title: Materials Data on Eu2SiO5 by Materials Project

Abstract

Eu2SiO5 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Eu3+ sites. In the first Eu3+ site, Eu3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted EuO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent EuO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Eu–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.38 Å. In the second Eu3+ site, Eu3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Eu–O bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.72 Å. Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent EuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–68°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.63–1.66 Å. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Eu3+ and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Eu3+ and one Si4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Eu3+ and one Si4+ atom. In the fourth O2-more » site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Eu3+ and one Si4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Eu3+ atoms to form distorted edge-sharing OEu4 tetrahedra.« less
