Materials Data on BaZnSi by Materials Project
BaZnSi crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded to six equivalent Si4- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing BaSi6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 42°. All Ba–Si bond lengths are 3.53 Å. Zn2+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Si4- atoms. All Zn–Si bond lengths are 2.54 Å. Si4- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Ba2+ and three equivalent Zn2+ atoms.
