Abstract
MgSi2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg and ten Si atoms. There are one shorter (2.74 Å) and one longer (2.75 Å) Mg–Mg bond lengths. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.78–3.10 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three Mg and ten Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 2.74–2.99 Å. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.82–2.98 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg and ten Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.78–3.10 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three Mg and ten Si atoms. The Mg–Mg bond length is 2.98 Å. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.82–2.99 Å. There are eight inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four Mg and sixmore »
