Materials Data on SiC3 by Materials Project
SiC(C)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two C sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction and two SiC sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each C sheet, C+1.33- is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent C+1.33- atoms. All C–C bond lengths are 1.80 Å. In each SiC sheet, Si4+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent C+1.33- atoms. All Si–C bond lengths are 1.80 Å. C+1.33- is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Si4+ atoms.
