Materials Data on Na2Al2Si3O14 by Materials Project

Na2Al2Si3O14 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fdd2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.58 Å. Al is bonded to four O 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 Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded to four O 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. In the second Si site, Si is bonded to four O 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 1.63–1.65 Å. There are seven inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Na, one Al, and one Si atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Na, one Al, and one Si atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Si atoms. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two equivalent Na and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.24 Å. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one O atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Al and one Si atom. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Na, one Al, and one Si atom.
