The structure described by SiC is Moissanite-6H-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. There are four inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si(1) is bonded to one C(1) and three equivalent C(2,3) atoms to form corner-sharing SiC4 tetrahedra. In the second Si site, Si(2,3) is bonded to one C(2,3) and three equivalent C(5) atoms to form corner-sharing SiC4 tetrahedra. In the third Si site, Si(4) is bonded to one C(4) and three equivalent C(1) atoms to form corner-sharing SiC4 tetrahedra. In the fourth Si site, Si(5) is bonded to one C(5) and three equivalent C(2,3) atoms to form corner-sharing SiC4 tetrahedra. There are four inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded to one Si(1) and three equivalent Si(4) atoms to form corner-sharing CSi4 tetrahedra.
