Abstract
Mg2Si crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are eight inequivalent Mg2+ sites. In the first Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to five Si4- atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing MgSi5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.74–2.92 Å. In the second Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.75–3.25 Å. In the third Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to five Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.71–3.23 Å. In the fourth Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.75–3.25 Å. In the fifth Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to five Si4- atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing MgSi5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.74–2.92 Å. In the sixth Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances rangingmore »
