Materials Data on Mg3Si4 by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg3Si4 is Magnesium tetraboride-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two Mg and six Si atoms. There are one shorter (2.92 Å) and one longer (3.13 Å) Mg–Mg bond lengths. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.76–2.92 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a distorted trigonal pyramidal geometry to two Mg and five Si atoms. There are one shorter (2.89 Å) and one longer (3.11 Å) Mg–Mg bond lengths. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.73–3.20 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to five Mg and seven Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.19 Å. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.72–3.24 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to five Mg and eight Si atoms. There are one shorter (2.97 Å) and one longer (3.09 Å) Mg–Mg bond lengths. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances rangingmore »
