Carbon forms a number of allotropes, two of which are graphite and diamond. Silicon has a diamond structure. Why is there no allotrope of silicon with a graphite structure?

Well, first: you're incorrect - there is a
graphene analog for silicon
, although the two have important electronic and structural differences. Did you read my answer to you in your
other recent thread
, about phosphorous vs nitrogen? Similar logic applies here.
