Abstract

Ca4Ti3SnSi4O20 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.26–2.72 Å. In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.28–2.67 Å. There are two inequivalent Ti4+ sites. In the first Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 39°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.89–2.05 Å. In the second Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one TiO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one SnO6 octahedra, and corners with four SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–41°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.86–2.07 Å. Sn4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SnO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 41°. There are a spread of Sn–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.12 Å. There are two inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 37–53°. There is two shorter (1.65 Å) and two longer (1.66 Å) Si–O bond length. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent SnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–55°. There is three shorter (1.65 Å) and one longer (1.66 Å) Si–O bond length. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, one Ti4+, and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, one Ti4+, and one Si4+ atom.

In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, one Ti4+, and one Si4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ca2+ and two Ti4+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ca2+, one Ti4+, and one Sn4+ atom.
