In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent TmO6 octahedra and corners with two SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 64–65°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.61–1.68 Å. In the third Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one TmO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 54°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.63–1.75 Å. In the fourth Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one TmO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 53°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.62–1.67 Å. There are fourteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Tm3+ and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Tm3+ and one Si4+ atom.
