With two shared oxides bound to each silicon, cyclic or polymeric structures can result. The cyclic metasilicate ring Si 6 O 12− 18 is a hexamer of SiO 3 2-. Polymeric silicate anions of can exist also as long chains. In single-chain silicates, which are a type of inosilicate, tetrahedra link to form a chain by sharing two oxygen atoms each.
Kentbrooksite is a moderately rare mineral of the eudialyte group, [2] with chemical formula (Na,REE) 15 (Ca,REE) 6 Mn 3 Zr 3 NbSi[(Si 9 O 27) 2 (Si 3 O 9) 2 O 2]F 2 ·2H 2 O. [3] This extended formula shows the presence of cyclic silicate groups and dominance of Si at the M4 site, according to the nomenclature of the eudialyte group. [4]
Carbokentbrooksite is a very rare mineral of the eudialyte group, [2] with formula (Na, ) 12 (Na,Ce) 3 Ca 6 Mn 3 Zr 3 NbSiO(Si 9 O 27) 2 (Si 3 O 9) 2 (OH) 3 (CO 3). H 2 O. [3] The original formula was extended to show the presence of cyclic silicate groups and silicon at the M4 site, according to the nomenclature of eudialyte group. [4]
A silicate mineral is generally an inorganic compound consisting of subunits with the formula [SiO 2+n] 2n−. Although depicted as such, the description of silicates as anions is a simplification. Balancing the charges of the silicate anions are metal cations, M x+. Typical cations are Mg 2+, Fe 2+, and Na +. The Si-O-M linkage between the ...
Abenakiite-(Ce) is a mineral of sodium, cerium, neodymium, lanthanum, praseodymium, thorium, samarium, oxygen, sulfur, carbon, phosphorus, and silicon with a chemical formula Na 26 Ce 6 (SiO 3) 6 (PO 4) 6 (CO 3) 6 (S 4+ O 2)O. The silicate groups may be given as the cyclic Si 6 O 18 grouping.
Zirsilite-(Ce) is a very rare mineral of the eudialyte group, with formula (Na, ) 12 (Ce,Na) 3 Ca 6 Mn 3 Zr 3 NbSi(Si 9 O 27) 2 (Si 3 O 9) 2 O(OH) 3 (CO 3)·H 2 O. [2] [3] The original formula was extended to show the presence of cyclic silicate groups and the presence of silicon at the M4 site, according to the nomenclature of the eudialyte group. [4]
Manganokhomyakovite is a very rare mineral of the eudialyte group, [2] with the chemical formula Na 12 Sr 3 Ca 6 Mn 3 Zr 3 WSi(Si 9 O 27) 2 (Si 3 O 9) 2 O(O,OH,H 2 O) 3 (OH,Cl) 2. [3] This formula is in extended form (based on the original one), to show the presence of cyclic silicate groups and domination of silicon at the M4 site, basing on the nomenclature of the eudialyte group.

Metasilicates are silicates containing ions of empirical formula SiO 2− 3. Common stoichiometries include M I 2 SiO 3 and M II SiO 3. Metasilicates can be cyclic, usually the hexamer (SiO 3) 12− 6 or chains (SiO 3)n 2−. [1] Common compounds containing metasilicate anion are: Inosilicates; Metasilicic acid (hydrogen metasilicate) Sodium ...
