Abstract

LiSi6Bi9O26 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.31 Å) and three longer (2.50 Å) Li–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.64–1.67 Å. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.64–1.66 Å. There are five inequivalent Bi3+ sites. In the first Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.53 Å. In the second Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.97 Å. In the third Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.91 Å. In the fourth Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.25–2.95 Å. In the fifth Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.37–2.81 Å. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Si4+ and two Bi3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Si4+ and three Bi3+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Si4+ and three Bi3+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Si4+ and three Bi3+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Si4+, and two Bi3+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Si4+ and three Bi3+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Si4+ and two Bi3+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Si4+, and two Bi3+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Bi3+ atoms. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Bi3+ atoms.
