The material described by SiO2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Si(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two 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 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Si(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
