Ag5SiO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnnm space group. There are three inequivalent Ag sites. In the first Ag site, Ag(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and one O(3) atom. In the second Ag site, Ag(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and one O(3) atom. In the third Ag site, Ag(3) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent O(3) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ag(1), one Ag(2), one Ag(3), and one Si(1) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ag(1), two equivalent Ag(2), and one Si(1) atom. In the third O site, O(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ag(1), two equivalent Ag(2), and one Si(1) atom.
