In this family, the periodic building unit consists of six-membered rings of tetrahedra (S6R), not interconnected each other, arranged according to a hexagonal array (Fig. 1.1). The plane symmetry of such an arrangement is P6mm . Let us arbitrarily place the position of the ring at the coordinate (1/3,2/3) of a hexagonal cell and call it as an “A” position. Three kinds of stacking can occur: 1) the rings of new plane can be placed still at (1/3,2/3) giving rise to an “AA” stacking; 2) the new rings can be placed at (2/3,1/3) in a position arbitrarily called “B”, giving rise to an “AB” stacking; 3) the rings can be placed at (0,0) in a position called “C”, from which an “AC” stacking derives (Fig. 1.1). Then, a third plane of single six-membered rings can be stacked according to one of the three stacking options described above. If the stacking follows a periodic rule, a periodic three-dimensional framework is built up. Of the potentially infinite stacking sequences, many have effectively been found in natural minerals and/or in synthetic compounds (Baerlocher et al. 2007). The most simple sequence, the “AB” stacking, where “A” rings are centered at (1/3,2/3, z) and the “B” rings at (2/3,1/3, z), gives rise to the [CAN]-framework type (Fig. 1.2), i.e. to the framework of the cancrinite-group minerals, which are the object of the present study. Another class of widespread feldpathoids, the sodalite group, is structurally related to the cancrinite structure, as its framework ([SOD]-type) derives from an “ABC” stacking sequence. For both these groups, no superposition of the same ring type occurs. However, this is a common feature of several open-framework compounds. For example, in the [GME]-framework (AABB) of gmelinite, the [CHA]-framework (AABBCC) of chabazite, the [ERI]-framework (AABAAC) of erionite, or the [AFX]-framework (AABBCCBB) of the well-known synthetic zeolite SAPO-56. Although all these frameworks derive from different stackings of the same periodic building unit, their “secondary building-units” ( sensu Barlocher et al. 2007) and the size and relative orientation of the structural voids can be significantly different. In addition, different can be the crystal-chemical and –physical properties of the related compounds. Therefore, it is not surprising that the natural feldpspathoids and zeolites, structurally related to the ABC-6 family, are widespread over a variety of geochemical and petrological environments. Before to introduce the structural features of the [CAN]-framework type, it is worth noting that there is a series of minerals showing different ABC-6 frameworks, which are, for geochemical and petrological reasons, closely related to the proper cancrinite-group. These minerals, although sometimes grouped within the cancrinite-group in the literature, were originally defined “cancrinite-like” by Leoni et al. 2 Introduction (1979), as reviewed by Bonaccorsi and Merlino (2005). Among them there are: bystrite ([LOS], ABAC, Pobedimskaya et al. 1991), liottite ([LIO], ABABAC, Ballirano et al. 1996a), afghanite ([AFG], ABABACAC, Ballirano et al. 1997), franzinite ([FRA], ABCABACABC, Ballirano et al. 2000), tounkite ([TOL], ABABACACABAC, Rozenberg et al. 2004), farneseite ([FAR], ABCABABACBACAC, Cámara et al. 2004), giuseppettite ([GIU], ABABABACBABABABC, Bonaccorsi 2004). As previously described, the [CAN]-framework type is built from the simplest stacking sequence in the ABC-6 family: ···ABABAB···. In each plane ( e.g. the “A” plane), the six-membered rings are not interconnected to each other (Fig. 1.1) and each ring is linked to three rings in the previous (“B”) plane and to three rings in the next one (Fig. 1.2). The resulting structure is made by columns of base- sharing can units, also called “cancrinite cages”, undecahedral cages or 4 665 units according to the IUPAC recommendations (McCusker et al. 2001), where the bases correspond to the single six- membered rings perpendicular to the c-axis (S6R ⊥[0001], Fig 1.2). These columns surround iso- oriented channels, parallel to [0001] and confined by twelve-membered rings of tetrahedra (12R) (Fig 1.2). Double zigzag chains of tetrahedra ( dzc units), made by edge-sharing four-membered rings (S4R), run along the c-axis and border the single six-membered ring windows (hereafter S6R ∠[0001]) acting as joint unit between cages and channels (Fig 1.2). Therefore, as reported in the literature ( e.g. Pekov

    Eur. J. Mineral. 2003, 15, 1019–1027 Marinellite, a new feldspathoid of the cancrinite-sodalite group ELENA BONACCORSI* and PAOLO ORLANDI Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Universita` di Pisa, Via S. Maria 53, I-56126 Pisa, Italy * Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Marinellite, [(Na,K)42Ca6](Si36Al36O144)(SO4)8Cl2·6H2O, cell parameters a = 12.880(2) Å, c = 31.761(6) Å, is a new feldspathoid belonging to the cancrinite-sodalite group. The crystal structure of a twinned crystal was preliminary refined in space group P31c, but space group P62c could also be possible. It was found near Sacrofano, Latium, Italy, associated with giuseppettite, sanidine, nepheline, haüyne, biotite, and kalsilite. It is anhedral, transparent, colourless with vitreous lustre, white streak and Mohs’ hardness of 5.5. The mineral does not fluoresce, is brittle, has conchoidal fracture, and presents poor cleavage on {001}. Dmeas is 3 3 2.405(5) g/cm , Dcalc is 2.40 g/cm . Optically, marinellite is uniaxial positive, non-pleochroic, = 1.495(1), = 1.497(1). The strongest five reflections in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern are [d in Å (I) (hkl)]: 3.725 (100) (214), 3.513 (80) (215), 4.20 (42) (210), 3.089 (40) (217), 2.150 (40) (330). The electron microprobe analysis gives K2O 7.94, Na2O 14.95, CaO 5.14, Al2O3 27.80, SiO2 32.73, SO3 9.84, Cl 0.87, (H2O 0.93), sum 100.20 wt %, less O = Cl 0.20, (total 100.00 wt %); H2O calculated by difference. The corresponding empirical formula, based on 72 (Si + Al), is (Na31.86K11.13Ca6.06) =49.05(Si35.98Al36.02)S=72O144.60(SO4)8.12Cl1.62·3.41H2O.

The synthesis products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), 29Si and 27Al Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (MAS-NMR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Our data show that the sequence of the transformation of phases is: Poorly crystalline aluminosilicate → zeolite LTA → sodalite → sodalite + cancrinite → cancrinite. Synthesized materials appeared stable thermodynamically under the experimental conditions, with zeolite LTA (a metastable phase) occurring as a minor phase, compared with the presence of sodalite and cancrinite.

  • High-Pressure Study of a Natural Cancrinite
    American Mineralogist, Volume 97, pages 872–882, 2012 High-pressure study of a natural cancrinite PAOLO LOTTI,1 G. DIEGO GATTA,1,2,* NICOLA ROTIROTI,1,2 AND FERNANDO CÁMARA3 1Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Università degli Studi di Milano, Via Botticelli 23, 20133 Milano, Italy 2CNR, Istituto per la Dinamica dei Processi Ambientali, Via M. Bianco 9, 20131 Milano, Italy 3Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Università degli Studi di Torino, Via Valperga Caluso 35, 10125 Torino, Italy ABSTRACT The high-pressure elastic behavior and the P-induced structure evolution of a natural cancrinite from Cameroun {Na6.59Ca0.93[Si6Al6O24](CO3)1.04F0.41·2H2O, a = 12.5976(6) Å, c = 5 .1168(2) Å, space group: P63} were investigated by in situ single-crystal X-ray diffraction under hydrostatic conditions up to 6.63(2) GPa with a diamond-anvil cell. The P-V data were fitted with an isothermal Birch-Murnaghan type equation of state (BM EoS) truncated to the third order. Weighted fit (by the 3 uncertainty in P and V) gave the following elastic parameters: V0 = 702.0(7) Å , KV0 = 51(2) GPa, and KV´ = 2.9(4). A linearized BM EoS was used to fit the a-P and c-P data, giving the following refined parameters: a0 = 12.593(5) Å, Ka0 = 64(4) GPa, Ka´ = 4.5(9), for the a-axis, and c0 = 5.112(3) Å, Kc0 = 36(1) GPa, K´c = 1.9(3) for the c-axis (elastic anisotropy: Ka0:Kc0 = 1.78:1). A subtle change of the elastic behavior appears to occur at P > 4.62 GPa, and so the elastic behavior was also described on the basis of BM EOS valid between 0.0001–4.62 and 5.00–6.63 GPa, respectively.

Liquid surface water requires a much denser atmosphere than modern Mars possesses, probably predominantly composed of CO2. Such significant volumes of CO2 and water in the presence of basalt should have produced vast concentrations of carbonate minerals, yet little carbonate has been discovered thus far.

OLYSYCH, NATALIA V. ZUBKOVA AND MARINA F. VIGASINA Faculty of Geology, Moscow State University, Leninskie Gory, 119992 Moscow, Russia ABSTRACT We present a comparative analysis of powder infrared spectra of cancrinite-group minerals with the simplest framework, of AB type, from the viewpoint of crystal-chemical characteristics of extra-framework components. We provide IR spectra for typical samples of cancrinite, cancrisilite, kyanoxalite, hydroxycancrinite, depmeierite, vishnevite, pitiglianoite, balliranoite, davyne and quadridavyne, as well as the most unusual varieties of cancrinite-subgroup minerals (Ca-deficient cancrinite, H2O-free cancrinite, intermediate members of the series cancrinite – hydroxycancrinite, cancrinite–cancrisilite, cancrinite– kyanoxalite, K-rich vishnevite, S2-bearing balliranoite). Samples with solved crystal structures are used as reference patterns. Empirical trends and relationships between some parameters of IR spectra, compositional characteristics and unit-cell dimensions 2– are obtained. The effect of Ca content on stretching vibrations of CO3 is explained in the context of the cluster approach. The existence of a hydrous variety of quadridavyne is demonstrated.
