Materials Data on NaAlSiO5 by Materials Project
(Na)2(AlSiO4)2O2 is Cuprite-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of four sodium molecules, four water molecules, and one AlSiO4 framework. In the AlSiO4 framework, Al is bonded to four equivalent O atoms to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. All Al–O bond lengths are 1.73 Å. Si is bonded to four equivalent O atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent AlO4 tetrahedra. All Si–O bond lengths are 1.62 Å. O is bonded in a linear geometry to one Al and one Si atom.
