Materials Data on MgZrSi2O7 by Materials Project
Abstract
MgZrSi2O7 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg2+ is bonded to eight O2- atoms to form distorted MgO8 hexagonal bipyramids that share edges with two equivalent MgO8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent ZrO8 hexagonal bipyramids, and edges with six SiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.41 Å. Zr4+ is bonded to eight O2- atoms to form distorted ZrO8 hexagonal bipyramids that share edges with two equivalent ZrO8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent MgO8 hexagonal bipyramids, and edges with six SiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Zr–O bond distances ranging from 2.06–2.35 Å. There are two inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SiO6 octahedra that share corners with six SiO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent MgO8 hexagonal bipyramids, and edges with four equivalent ZrO8 hexagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–46°. There is two shorter (1.78 Å) and four longer (1.79 Å) Si–O bond length. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SiO6 octahedra that share corners with six SiO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent ZrO8more »
