  • (Riekel, 1977) gives the structure in the $Pmnb$ setting of space group #62. We use FINDSYM to transform this into the standard $Pnma$ setting.
  • There seems to be an error in the data in (Riekel, 1977). He lists the $y$-coordinate of silicon as 0.3727, but when this number is used the Si-O bond lengths and O-Si-O angles do not agree with the data presented in Table 2. We follow (Villars, 2016) and change this value to 0.3427, which gives excellent agreement with Riekel's Table 2.
