Materials Data on CaAl2(Si2O7)2 by Materials Project
Abstract
CaAl2(Si2O7)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca is bonded to six O atoms to form CaO6 octahedra that share corners with four SiO4 tetrahedra and edges with two AlO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.38–2.52 Å. There are two inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al is bonded to four O atoms to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four SiO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one CaO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.72–1.79 Å. In the second Al site, Al is bonded to four O atoms to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four SiO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one CaO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.73–1.80 Å. There are four inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded to four O atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CaO6 octahedra, corners with two AlO4 tetrahedra, and corners with two SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 57°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.60–1.65 Å. In themore »
