Abstract
Mg2Si3 is Magnesium tetraboride-like structured and 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 in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Si+1.33- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.73–3.15 Å. In the second 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 2.87–3.07 Å. In the third Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Si+1.33- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.73–3.05 Å. In the fourth Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to five Si+1.33- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.73–3.10 Å. In the fifth Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Si+1.33- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.77–2.93 Å. In the sixth 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 2.75–3.14 Å.
