Inverse spinel structures have a different cation distribution in that all of the A cations and half of the B cations occupy octahedral sites, while the other half of the B cations occupy tetrahedral sites. An example of an inverse spinel is Fe 3 O 4, if the Fe 2+ (A 2+) ions are d 6 high-spin and the Fe 3+ (B 3+) ions are d 5 high-spin.
Filipstadite is a very rare mineral [4] of the spinel group, with the formula (Mn,Mg)(Sb 5+ 0.5 Fe 3 + 0.5)O 4. [5] It is isometric, [3] although it was previously thought to be orthorhombic. When compared to a typical spinel, both the octahedral and tetrahedral sites are split due to cation ordering. [3] Filipstadite is chemically close to ...
Hercynite is a spinel of regular symmetry and normal cation distribution, but some disorder occurs in its structure. It consists of ferrous (Fe 2+) ions and aluminium ions (Al 3+); however some ferric ions (Fe 3+) may be located in the structure of hercynite. [5] Melting point of this mineral is inbetween 1,692–1,767 °C (3,078–3,213 °F). [6]
Ringwoodite is polymorphous with forsterite, Mg 2 SiO 4, and has a spinel structure.Spinel group minerals crystallize in the isometric system with an octahedral habit. Olivine is most abundant in the upper mantle, above about 410 km (250 mi); the olivine polymorphs wadsleyite and ringwoodite are thought to dominate the transition zone of the mantle, a zone present from about 410 to 660 km
Nickel manganese oxides, [1] or nickel manganates, are spinel structure compounds of Nickel, Manganese and Oxygen of the form: Ni (x) Mn (3-x) O (y) [2] [3] Some common forms are Ni 2 MnO 4, NiMn 2 O 4, and Ni 1.5 Mn 1.5 O 4. They are most commonly formulated for use in thin film resistors and thermistors. [4]

In condensed matter physics and inorganic chemistry, the cation-anion radius ratio can be used to predict the crystal structure of an ionic compound based on the relative size of its atoms. It is defined as the ratio of the ionic radius of the positively charged cation to the ionic radius of the negatively charged anion in a cation-anion compound.
