Abstract

(SiO2)34(O2)3 is Low Tridymite-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of twelve water molecules and one SiO2 framework. In the SiO2 framework, there are eleven inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded to four O atoms to form corner-sharing SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.62–1.64 Å. In the second Si site, Si is bonded to four O atoms to form corner-sharing SiO4 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (1.62 Å) and three longer (1.63 Å) Si–O bond length. In the third Si site, Si is bonded to four O atoms to form corner-sharing SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.61–1.64 Å. In the fourth Si site, Si is bonded to four O atoms to form corner-sharing SiO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.62 Å) and one longer (1.63 Å) Si–O bond length. In the fifth Si site, Si is bonded to four O atoms to form corner-sharing SiO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.62 Å) and one longer (1.63 Å) Si–O bond length. In the sixth Si site, Si is bonded to four O atoms to form corner-sharing SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.61–1.64 Å. In the seventh Si site, Si is bonded to four O atoms to form corner-sharing SiO4 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (1.62 Å) and three longer (1.63 Å) Si–O bond length. In the eighth Si site, Si is bonded to four O atoms to form corner-sharing SiO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.61 Å) and one longer (1.63 Å) Si–O bond length. In the ninth Si site, Si is bonded to four O atoms to form corner-sharing SiO4 tetrahedra. All Si–O bond lengths are 1.63 Å.
