title: Materials Data on SiC by Materials Project

description: SiC is Moissanite-6H-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are thirteen inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four C4- atoms to form corner-sharing SiC4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.89 Å) and one longer (1.90 Å) Si–C bond length. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four C4- atoms to form corner-sharing SiC4 tetrahedra. All Si–C bond lengths are 1.90 Å. In the third Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four C4- atoms to form corner-sharing SiC4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.89 Å) and one longer (1.91 Å) Si–C bond length. In the fourth Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four C4- atoms to form corner-sharing SiC4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.89 Å) and one longer (1.90 Å) Si–C bond length. In the fifth Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four C4- atoms to form corner-sharing SiC4 tetrahedra. All Si–C bond lengths are 1.89 Å. In the sixth Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four C4- atoms to form corner-sharing SiC4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.89 Å) and one longer (1.90 Å) Si–C bond length. In the seventh Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four C4- atoms to form corner-sharing SiC4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.89 Å) and one longer (1.90 Å) Si–C bond length. In the eighth Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four C4- atoms to form corner-sharing SiC4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.89 Å) and one longer (1.90 Å) Si–C bond length.
