Materials Data on KAlSi3O8 by Materials Project
Abstract
KAlSi3O8 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.75–2.86 Å. Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with four SiO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent AlO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent SiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 48–51°. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.86–2.01 Å. There are three inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SiO6 octahedra that share corners with four SiO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent AlO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent SiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–50°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.79–1.84 Å. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent AlO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent SiO6 octahedra, and edges with four SiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–51°. There are a spread of Si–Omore »
