Materials Data on Na3SiSnCO7 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na3SnSiCO7 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.71 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.93 Å. Sn3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted SnO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Sn–O bond distances ranging from 2.16–2.55 Å. Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent SnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 51–63°. There is two shorter (1.65 Å) and two longer (1.66 Å) Si–O bond length. C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.29 Å) and two longer (1.31 Å) C–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four Na1+ and one C4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Na1+, one Sn3+, and one C4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Na1+, one Sn3+, and one C4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Na1+, one Sn3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to two equivalent Na1+, one Sn3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Na1+, one Sn3+, and one Si4+ atom.
