Materials Data on Mg3Si2 by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg3Si2 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 4-coordinate geometry to four Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.78–2.85 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to five Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.74–3.15 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.74–2.97 Å. There are two inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to seven Mg and two Si atoms. There are one shorter (2.40 Å) and one longer (2.43 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the second Si site, Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to eight Mg and one Si atom.
