Materials Data on LaAlSi2 by Materials Project

LaAlSi2 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to nine Si atoms. There are a spread of La–Si bond distances ranging from 3.14–3.24 Å. Al is bonded to four equivalent Si atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing AlSi4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (2.51 Å) and one longer (2.58 Å) Al–Si bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La and four equivalent Al atoms. In the second Si site, Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La and three equivalent Si atoms. All Si–Si bond lengths are 2.42 Å.

Materials Data on La(AlSi)2 by Materials Project

La(AlSi)2 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La2+ is bonded to six equivalent Si4- atoms to form LaSi6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent AlSi4 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent LaSi6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent AlSi4 tetrahedra. All La–Si bond lengths are 3.11 Å. Al3+ is bonded to four equivalent Si4- atoms to form AlSi4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent LaSi6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent AlSi4 tetrahedra, edges with three equivalent LaSi6 octahedra, and edges with three equivalent AlSi4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 23–52°. There are three shorter (2.53 Å) and one longer (2.54 Å) Al–Si bond lengths. Si4- is bonded to three equivalent La2+ and four equivalent Al3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SiLa3Al4 pentagonal bipyramids.
