Materials Data on Mg4Si7 by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg4Si7 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are eight inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.84–3.14 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.64–2.98 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.79–3.04 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to eight Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.83–3.13 Å. In the fifth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.83–3.14 Å. In the sixth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to eight Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.66–3.21 Å. In the seventh Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometrymore »
