description: Ca4TiSn3Si4O20 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.27–2.76 Å. In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.23–2.76 Å. Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent SnO6 octahedra and corners with four SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 43°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.88–2.05 Å. There are two inequivalent Sn4+ sites. In the first Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SnO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent SnO6 octahedra and corners with four SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°. There are a spread of Sn–O bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.14 Å. In the second Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SnO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one TiO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one SnO6 octahedra, and corners with four SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 43–47°. There are a spread of Sn–O bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.14 Å. There are two inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one TiO6 octahedra and corners with three SnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–54°. There is two shorter (1.65 Å) and two longer (1.66 Å) Si–O bond length. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one TiO6 octahedra and corners with three SnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 41–55°. There is one shorter (1.65 Å) and three longer (1.66 Å) Si–O bond length. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Ca2+ and two Sn4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ca2+, one Ti4+, and one Sn4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Ca2+, one Ti4+, and one Si4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Ca2+, one Sn4+, and one Si4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca2+, one Sn4+, and one Si4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca2+, one Sn4+, and one Si4+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, one Sn4+, and one Si4+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, one Sn4+, and one Si4+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, one Ti4+, and one Si4+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, one Sn4+, and one Si4+ atom.
