Abstract
Mg2Si crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are eight inequivalent Mg2+ sites. In the first Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.71–2.85 Å. In the second Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.76–3.20 Å. In the third Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to four Si4- atoms to form corner-sharing MgSi4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.70–2.84 Å. In the fourth Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.68–3.05 Å. In the fifth Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to four Si4- atoms to form corner-sharing MgSi4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.70–2.83 Å. In the sixth Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.70–3.02 Å. In the seventh Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded in a distortedmore »
