Materials Data on Zn3Si3(AgO6)2 by Materials Project

Zn3Si3(AgO6)2 crystallizes in the cubic Ia-3d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ag3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form AgO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. All Ag–O bond lengths are 2.17 Å. Zn2+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.30 Å) and four longer (2.36 Å) Zn–O bond lengths. Si4+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent AgO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 58°. All Si–O bond lengths are 1.66 Å. O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ag3+, two equivalent Zn2+, and one Si4+ atom.
