Materials Data on SrLa4Si3O13 by Materials Project

Abstract

SrLa4Si3O13 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.54–2.93 Å. There are two inequivalent La3+ sites. In the first La3+ site, La3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.90 Å. In the second La3+ site, La3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.75 Å. Si4+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.63–1.66 Å. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Sr2+, two La3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent La3+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Sr2+, two La3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three La3+ and one Si4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Sr2+, two equivalent La3+, and one Si4+ atom.
