Materials Data on CaBeSi by Materials Project
CaBeSi crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded to six equivalent Si4- atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing CaSi6 pentagonal pyramids. All Ca–Si bond lengths are 3.12 Å. Be2+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Si4- atoms. All Be–Si bond lengths are 2.26 Å. Si4- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Ca2+ and three equivalent Be2+ atoms.
