Materials Data on Cr2SiC by Materials Project
Cr2SiC is H-Phase structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cr3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Si4- and three equivalent C2- atoms. All Cr–Si bond lengths are 2.53 Å. All Cr–C bond lengths are 1.97 Å. Si4- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cr3+ atoms. C2- is bonded to six equivalent Cr3+ atoms to form edge-sharing CCr6 octahedra.
