Materials Data on Na2MgSi5O12 by Materials Project
Na2MgSi5O12 is Esseneite-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.42–2.97 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.71 Å. Mg2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted MgO6 octahedra that share corners with six SiO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent SiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.01–2.25 Å. There are three inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one SiO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent MgO6 octahedra, and corners with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 34–69°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.59–1.67 Å. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one MgO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent SiO6 octahedra, and corners with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 34–64°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.63–1.66 Å. In the third Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SiO6 octahedra that share corners with six SiO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent MgO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.79–1.85 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+ and two Si4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Na1+ and two Si4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Na1+, one Mg2+, and one Si4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Na1+ and two Si4+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one Mg2+, and two Si4+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one Mg2+, and two Si4+ atoms.
