The material structure described by Ca3SiO is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Ca sites. In the first Ca site, Ca(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to three equivalent Si(1) and two equivalent O(1) atoms. In the second Ca site, Ca(2) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to three equivalent Si(1) and two equivalent O(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ca(2) and six equivalent Ca(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ca(2) and four equivalent Ca(1) atoms to form corner-sharing OCa6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 12-13°. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
