Materials Data on CaAl2SiO6 by Materials Project
Abstract
CaAl2SiO6 is Esseneite-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first 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 2.40–2.58 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 2.39–2.57 Å. There are three inequivalent Al3+ sites. In the first Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three AlO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 38–62°. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.74–1.79 Å. In the second Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent AlO4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent AlO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.85–2.03 Å. In the third Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra thatmore »

In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, two Al3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, one Al3+, and one Si4+ atom.
