Abstract
(MgO2)3Mg3Si4O12 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Mg3Si4O12 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction and two MgO2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each Mg3Si4O12 sheet, there are two inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded to six O atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with four SiO4 tetrahedra and edges with six MgO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.15 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to six O atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with four SiO4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent MgO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.17 Å. 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 three MgO6 octahedra and corners with three equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 56–59°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.64–1.66 Å. In the second Si site, Si is bonded to four O atoms to form SiO4more »

The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Mg3Si4O12 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction and two MgO2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each Mg3Si4O12 sheet, there are two inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded to six O atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with four SiO4 tetrahedra and edges with six MgO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.15 Å.

The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 56–59°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.64–1.66 Å. In the second Si site, Si is bonded to four O atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three MgO6 octahedra and corners with three equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 57–59°. There is two shorter (1.65 Å) and two longer (1.66 Å) Si–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Si atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Mg atoms. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Mg and one Si atom.
