Abstract
The main structural features of the most important representatives of the sulfate class, which includes 490 mineral species, are considered. Their systematics is based on the analysis of interatomic interactions, including the structures with isolated island complexes, with one-dimensional mixed columns of [SO4] tetrahedra and M-cation octahedra (with the M–O bonds that are the second strongest after S–O), and with mixed layers and frameworks. The relationship between the structural characteristics and compositional features has been analyzed for a number of minerals, and examples of how structural data help to solve problems of genetic and ecological mineralogy are given.
期刊介绍:
Crystallography Reports is a journal that publishes original articles short communications, and reviews on various aspects of crystallography: diffraction and scattering of X-rays, electrons, and neutrons, determination of crystal structure of inorganic and organic substances, including proteins and other biological substances; UV-VIS and IR spectroscopy; growth, imperfect structure and physical properties of crystals; thin films, liquid crystals, nanomaterials, partially disordered systems, and the methods of studies.
