Materials Data on Mg2(AlSi2)3 by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg2(AlSi2)3 is Magnesium tetraboride-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Al and seven Si atoms. The Mg–Al bond length is 2.71 Å. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.80–3.12 Å. There are two inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six Si atoms. There are a spread of Al–Si bond distances ranging from 2.73–3.04 Å. In the second Al site, Al is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg and four equivalent Si atoms. All Al–Si bond lengths are 2.62 Å. There are three inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg and four Si atoms. There are two shorter (2.43 Å) and two longer (2.48 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the second Si site, Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg, six Al, and one Si atom. In the third Si site, Si is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mg, two equivalent Al, and three equivalent Si atoms.
