Materials Data on Mg2Al2SiO9 by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg2Al2SiO9 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Mg2Al2SiO9 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In one of the Mg2Al2SiO9 sheets, there are two inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded to six O atoms to form distorted MgO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one AlO4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one SiO4 tetrahedra, edges with three equivalent MgO6 octahedra, and edges with three equivalent AlO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.24 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to six O atoms to form distorted MgO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one AlO4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one SiO4 tetrahedra, edges with three equivalent MgO6 octahedra, and edges with three equivalent AlO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.05–2.21 Å. There are two inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al is bonded to four O atoms to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one AlO6 octahedra, corners with two MgO6 octahedra, and corners with three equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 55–63°. Theremore »
