Materials Data on RbAlSiO4 by Materials Project

RbAlSiO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.45 Å. Al3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.74–1.78 Å. Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent AlO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.62–1.65 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Rb1+, one Al3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb1+, one Al3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb1+, one Al3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Rb1+, one Al3+, and one Si4+ atom.

Materials Data on Rb2Al2Si3O10 by Materials Project

Rb2Al2Si3O10 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fdd2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.92–3.56 Å. Al3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.75–1.78 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 a cornercorner with one SiO4 tetrahedra and corners with three equivalent AlO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.62–1.67 Å. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent AlO4 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.62 Å) and two longer (1.65 Å) Si–O bond length. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Rb1+, one Al3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to three equivalent Rb1+, one Al3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb1+, one Al3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Rb1+ and two Si4+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Rb1+, one Al3+, and one Si4+ atom.
