Title: Materials Data on MnAl2SiO5 by Materials Project

Abstract

MnAl2SiO5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ccce space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mn is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two O atoms. There are one shorter (2.05 Å) and one longer (2.27 Å) Mn–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four O atoms. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.69–1.86 Å. In the second Al site, Al is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O atoms. There is two shorter (1.82 Å) and one longer (1.89 Å) Al–O bond length. Si is bonded to four O atoms to form corner-sharing SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.62–1.65 Å. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Al and one Si atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Al atoms. In the third O site, O is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Mn and two equivalent Al atoms. In the fourthmore » O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Si atoms. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mn, one Al, and one Si atom.« less
