Abstract
Mg2Si3 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 5-coordinate geometry to five Si+1.33- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.87–3.01 Å. In the second Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to seven Si+1.33- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.65–3.19 Å. In the third Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to four Si+1.33- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing MgSi4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.73–2.92 Å. In the fourth 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 2.62–2.93 Å. In the fifth 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 2.70–3.21 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 2.72–2.98 Å. In the seventh Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometrymore »
