Materials Data on Si(HgO2)2 by Materials Project
Si(HgO2)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Hg2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O2- atoms. There are a spread of Hg–O bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.82 Å. Si4+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. All Si–O bond lengths are 1.66 Å. O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Hg2+ and one Si4+ atom.
