Abstract

Mg6Si5 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are twelve inequivalent Mg2+ sites. In the first Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three Si+2.40- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.75–3.00 Å. In the second Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to seven Si+2.40- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.75–3.20 Å. In the third Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Si+2.40- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.78–3.10 Å.

There are one shorter (2.76 Å) and one longer (2.81 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the fourth Si+2.40- site, Si+2.40- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to seven Mg2+ and two Si+2.40- atoms. There are one shorter (2.48 Å) and one longer (2.50 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the fifth Si+2.40- site, Si+2.40- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six Mg2+ and two Si+2.40- atoms. The Si–Si bond length is 2.46 Å. In the sixth Si+2.40- site, Si+2.40- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to seven Mg2+ and two Si+2.40- atoms. The Si–Si bond length is 2.42 Å.
