Materials Data on Mg2Si3 by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg2Si3 is Magnesium tetraboride-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Mg2+ sites. In the first Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Si+1.33- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.78–3.04 Å. In the second Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Si+1.33- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.79–3.11 Å. In the third Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Si+1.33- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.81–3.17 Å. In the fourth Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to seven Si+1.33- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MgSi7 octahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.75–3.17 Å. There are six inequivalent Si+1.33- sites. In the first Si+1.33- site, Si+1.33- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg2+ and four Si+1.33- atoms. There are a spread of Si–Si bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.58 Å. In the second Si+1.33- site, Si+1.33- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to five Mg2+ and three Si+1.33- atoms. The Si–Si bond length is 2.46more »
