Title: Materials Data on MgSiN2 by Materials Project

Abstract

MgSiN2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg2+ is bonded to six equivalent N3- atoms to form MgN6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent SiN6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent MgN6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent SiN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 9°. All Mg–N bond lengths are 2.17 Å. Si4+ is bonded to six equivalent N3- atoms to form SiN6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent MgN6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent MgN6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent SiN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 9°. All Si–N bond lengths are 1.94 Å. N3- is bonded to three equivalent Mg2+ and three equivalent Si4+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NMg3Si3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.
