Materials Data on Mg3Si4 by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg3Si4 is Magnesium tetraboride-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eight Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.86–3.20 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.64–2.99 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to nine Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.77–3.24 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.70–2.94 Å. In the fifth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to seven Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.75–3.24 Å. In the sixth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to six Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.77–3.23 Å. There are eight inequivalent Si sites. Inmore »
