In the seventh Si site, Si is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two Mg and four Si atoms. There are two shorter (2.42 Å) and one longer (2.55 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the eighth Si site, Si is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four Mg and three Si atoms. There are one shorter (2.45 Å) and one longer (2.48 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the ninth Si site, Si is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four Mg and four Si atoms. There are one shorter (2.43 Å) and one longer (2.55 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the tenth Si site, Si is bonded in a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry to five Mg and two Si atoms. In the eleventh Si site, Si is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two Mg and three Si atoms. The Si–Si bond length is 2.34 Å. In the twelfth Si site, Si is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three Mg and three Si atoms. In the thirteenth Si site, Si is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four Mg and three Si atoms.
