Materials Data on ZrBeSi by Materials Project
ZrBeSi crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Be2+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Si4- atoms. All Be–Si bond lengths are 2.16 Å. Zr2+ is bonded to six equivalent Si4- atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing ZrSi6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 45°. All Zr–Si bond lengths are 2.82 Å. Si4- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Be2+ and six equivalent Zr2+ atoms.
