The material structure described by SiO2 is Low Tridymite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmma space group. There are three inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form corner-sharing SiO4 tetrahedra. In the second Si site, Si(2) is bonded to one O(5), one O(6), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form corner-sharing SiO4 tetrahedra. In the third Si site, Si(3) is bonded to one O(5), one O(7), and two equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing SiO4 tetrahedra. There are seven inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(4) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Si(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(5) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Si(2) and one Si(3) atom. In the third O site, O(6) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Si(2) atoms. In the fourth O site, O(7) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Si(3) atoms. In the fifth O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Si(1) and one Si(3) atom. In the sixth O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Si(1) atoms. In the seventh O site, O(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Si(1) and one Si(2) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
