Materials Data on Mg7Si4 by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg7Si4 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are fourteen inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.61–3.12 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mg and three Si atoms. The Mg–Mg bond length is 2.99 Å. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.32–2.65 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to nine Mg and two equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 2.88–3.33 Å. There are one shorter (3.05 Å) and one longer (3.14 Å) Mg–Si bond lengths. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Mg and four Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.57–3.07 Å. In the fifth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two Si atoms. There are one shorter (2.53 Å) and one longer (3.20 Å) Mg–Si bond lengths. In the sixth Mg site, Mg is bonded inmore »
