Materials Data on Ca2Al(SiO3)4 by Materials Project
Abstract
Ca2Al(SiO3)4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmna space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.21–2.78 Å. Al is bonded to six O atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.84 Å) and four longer (2.00 Å) Al–O bond length. There are two inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded to four O atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent AlO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 50°. There is two shorter (1.60 Å) and two longer (1.71 Å) Si–O bond length. In the second Si site, Si is bonded to four O atoms to form corner-sharing SiO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.62 Å) and two longer (1.65 Å) Si–O bond length. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ca and two equivalent Si atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to onemore »
