Materials Data on Sr3SiO5 by Materials Project
Sr3SiO5 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/ncc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sr2+ sites. In the first Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.97 Å. In the second Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.52–2.63 Å. Si4+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. All Si–O bond lengths are 1.65 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Sr2+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Sr2+ and one Si4+ atom.
