Materials Data on Mg6CuSi by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg6CuSi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are seven inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded to eight Mg, two equivalent Cu, and two equivalent Si atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing MgMg8Cu2Si2 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 3.01–3.10 Å. There are one shorter (3.00 Å) and one longer (3.02 Å) Mg–Cu bond lengths. There are one shorter (3.00 Å) and one longer (3.03 Å) Mg–Si bond lengths. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to eight Mg, two equivalent Cu, and two equivalent Si atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing MgMg8Cu2Si2 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 3.01–3.10 Å. There are one shorter (3.00 Å) and one longer (3.02 Å) Mg–Cu bond lengths. There are one shorter (3.00 Å) and one longer (3.03 Å) Mg–Si bond lengths. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded to eight Mg, two equivalent Cu, and two equivalent Si atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing MgMg8Cu2Si2 cuboctahedra.
