Materials Data on Si3Ag by Materials Project

AgSi3 is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ag is bonded to twelve Si atoms to form AgSi12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent AgSi12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent SiSi8Ag4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent AgSi12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent AgSi12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent SiSi8Ag4 cuboctahedra. There are eight shorter (2.78 Å) and four longer (2.94 Å) Ag–Si bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ag and four equivalent Si atoms. All Si–Si bond lengths are 2.78 Å. In the second Si site, Si is bonded to four equivalent Ag and eight equivalent Si atoms to form SiSi8Ag4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent SiSi8Ag4 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent AgSi12 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent SiSi8Ag4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent SiSi8Ag4 cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent AgSi12 cuboctahedra.

In the first Ag+1.33+ site, Ag+1.33+ is bonded to eight Ag+1.33+ and four equivalent Si4- atoms to form AgSi4Ag8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent SiAg12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen AgSi4Ag8 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent SiAg12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve AgSi4Ag8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent SiAg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen AgSi4Ag8 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Ag–Ag bond distances ranging from 2.87–3.03 Å. There are a spread of Ag–Si bond distances ranging from 2.83–2.97 Å. In the second Ag+1.33+ site, Ag+1.33+ is bonded to eight equivalent Ag+1.33+ and four equivalent Si4- atoms to form AgSi4Ag8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent SiAg12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen AgSi4Ag8 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent SiAg12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent AgSi4Ag8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent SiAg12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen AgSi4Ag8 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (2.83 Å) and two longer (2.97 Å) Ag–Si bond lengths.
