Materials Data on K4Ba(SiO3)3 by Materials Project
K4BaSi3O9 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ama2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent K1+ sites. In the first K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.90–3.32 Å. In the second K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.75–3.31 Å. In the third K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.66–2.94 Å. In the fourth K1+ site, K1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form KO6 octahedra that share corners with six SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.76–2.84 Å. Ba2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.58–3.19 Å. There are two inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent KO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 12–60°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.61–1.68 Å. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent KO6 octahedra and corners with two SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 30–39°. There is two shorter (1.62 Å) and two longer (1.69 Å) Si–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four K1+, one Ba2+, and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to three K1+ and two equivalent Si4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to three K1+, one Ba2+, and two Si4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three K1+, one Ba2+, and one Si4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four K1+, one Ba2+, and one Si4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three K1+, one Ba2+, and one Si4+ atom.
