Materials Data on MgSi2 by Materials Project
Abstract
MgSi2 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg and ten Si atoms. There are one shorter (3.08 Å) and one longer (3.15 Å) Mg–Mg bond lengths. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.77–3.20 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg and seven Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.65–3.08 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to six Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.72–3.17 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to ten Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.80–3.17 Å. There are eight inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four Mg and three Si atoms. There are two shorter (2.38 Å) and one longer (2.50 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the second Si site, Si is bonded inmore »
