In the first 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 2.76–3.15 Å. In the second 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 2.92–3.32 Å. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.19 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Mg and six Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.79–3.19 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg and five Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.70–2.81 Å. In the fifth 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 2.76–3.02 Å. In the sixth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Mgmore »
