Cl2Ga6Li8O24Si6
Sodalite-type gallosilicate · Gallium sodalite
This compound is a synthetic aluminosilicate-like framework material where gallium replaces aluminum within the crystal lattice. It is primarily studied for its structural properties and potential utility in ion exchange and molecular sieving processes.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Sodalite-type gallosilicate, aggregated across 2 databases.
Band GapEnergy needed to move an electron from the valence band to the conduction band. Lower or zero values tend to behave more metallic; larger gaps are more insulating or semiconducting.
Energy Above HullThermodynamic distance from the most stable set of competing phases. 0 eV/atom is on the convex hull; small positive values may still be experimentally accessible.
StabilityA plain-language summary of the best reported energy-above-hull result. It reflects whether the lowest-energy structure is on, near, or far from the stability hull.
StructuresCount of reported calculated crystal structures for this formula, including alternate polymorphs, source databases, and observed space groups.
Reported Structures
