The crystal structure described by SiO2 crystallizes in the trigonal P-31c space group. Si(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Si(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Si(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Si(1) atoms. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Si(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
