Title: Materials Data on MgSi2 by Materials Project

Abstract

MgSi2 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.78–3.03 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.87–2.98 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded to eight Si atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MgSi8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.78–3.02 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to seven Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.76–3.15 Å. There are eight inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four Mg and three Si atoms. All Si–Si bond lengths are 2.39 Å. In the second Si site, Si is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to five Mg and three Si atoms. Both Si–Si bond lengths are 2.41 Å. In the third Si site, Si is bonded inmore » a 6-coordinate geometry to three Mg and three Si atoms. There are two shorter (2.37 Å) and one longer (2.38 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the fourth Si site, Si is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg and three Si atoms. There are two shorter (2.36 Å) and one longer (2.38 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the fifth Si site, Si is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six Mg and two equivalent Si atoms. In the sixth Si site, Si is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four Mg and three Si atoms. The Si–Si bond length is 2.43 Å. In the seventh Si site, Si is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to two equivalent Mg and four Si atoms. In the eighth Si site, Si is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four Mg and three Si atoms.« less
