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 4-coordinate geometry to five Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.18 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.81–3.01 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.63–2.88 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.83–2.99 Å. In the fifth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Mg and four Si atoms. The Mg–Mg bond length is 2.96 Å. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.66–3.12 Å. In the sixth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Si atoms. There are one shorter (2.72 Å) and one longer (2.94 Å) Mg–Si bond lengths. In themore »
