Abstract
MgSi crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Si atoms. There are one shorter (2.42 Å) and one longer (3.19 Å) Mg–Si bond lengths. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.37–2.90 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Si atoms. There are one shorter (2.48 Å) and one longer (3.17 Å) Mg–Si bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four Mg and two equivalent Si atoms. There are one shorter (2.25 Å) and one longer (2.69 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the second Si site, Si is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three Mg and three Si atoms. The Si–Si bond length is 2.75 Å. In the third Si site, Si is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Mg atoms.
