title: Materials Data on NaSi68 by Materials Project

description: Na(Si)68 is Moissanite-6H-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of three sodium molecules and one Si framework. In the Si framework, there are twenty-three inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded to four Si atoms to form corner-sharing SiSi4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (2.37 Å) and one longer (2.40 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the second Si site, Si is bonded to four Si atoms to form corner-sharing SiSi4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (2.37 Å) and one longer (2.40 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the third Si site, Si is bonded to four Si atoms to form corner-sharing SiSi4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (2.37 Å) and one longer (2.41 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the fourth Si site, Si is bonded to four Si atoms to form corner-sharing SiSi4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (2.37 Å) and one longer (2.39 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the fifth Si site, Si is bonded to four Si atoms to form corner-sharing SiSi4 tetrahedra. All Si–Si bond lengths are 2.37 Å. In the sixth Si site, Si is bonded to four Si atoms to form corner-sharing SiSi4 tetrahedra. All Si–Si bond lengths are 2.37 Å. In the seventh Si site, Si is bonded to four Si atoms to form corner-sharing SiSi4 tetrahedra. There are one shorter (2.38 Å) and one longer (2.39 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the eighth Si site, Si is bonded to four Si atoms to form corner-sharing SiSi4 tetrahedra. There are one shorter (2.38 Å) and one longer (2.39 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the ninth Si site, Si is bonded to four Si atoms to form corner-sharing SiSi4 tetrahedra. There are one shorter (2.37 Å) and one longer (2.40 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the tenth Si site, Si is bonded to four Si atoms to form corner-sharing SiSi4 tetrahedra. The Si–Si bond length is 2.38 Å. In the eleventh Si site, Si is bonded to four Si atoms to form corner-sharing SiSi4 tetrahedra. There are one shorter (2.37 Å) and one longer (2.40 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the twelfth Si site, Si is bonded to four Si atoms to form corner-sharing SiSi4 tetrahedra. All Si–Si bond lengths are 2.35 Å. In the thirteenth Si site, Si is bonded to four Si atoms to form corner-sharing SiSi4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (2.35 Å) and one longer (2.36 Å) Si–Si bond lengths. In the fourteenth Si site, Si is bonded to four Si atoms to form corner-sharing SiSi4 tetrahedra. All Si–Si bond lengths are 2.35 Å.
