Title: Materials Data on Mg3Si2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Mg3Si2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.72–2.91 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.80–3.03 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to eight Mg and one Si atom. The Si–Si bond length is 2.44 Å.
