Materials Data on BeSiOs2 by Materials Project
BeOs2Si is Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of four beryllium molecules and one Os2Si framework. In the Os2Si framework, Os1+ is bonded to four equivalent Si4- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OsSi4 tetrahedra. All Os–Si bond lengths are 2.50 Å. Si4- is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Os1+ atoms.
