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]
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.
Feklichevite is a rare mineral of the eudialyte group with the formula Na 11 Ca 9 (Fe 3+,Fe 2+) 2 Zr 3 NbSi(Si 3 O 9) 2 (Si 9 O 27) 2. [3] [2] The original formula was extended to show the presence of cyclic silicate groups and presence of 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 ...
Cyclic compounds that have both carbon and non-carbon atoms present are heterocyclic carbon compounds, and the name refers to inorganic cyclic compounds as well (e.g., siloxanes, which contain only silicon and oxygen in the rings, and borazines, which contain only boron and nitrogen in the rings). [5]
Regular coordination is not always present: for example, it is not found in Ca 2 SiO 4, which mixes six- and eight-coordinate sites for Ca II. Soro-silicates, involving discrete double or triple tetrahedral units, are quite rare: metasilicates involving cyclic [(SiO n 3)] 2n− units of corner-abutting tetrahedra forming a polygonal ring are ...
Golyshevite is a rare mineral of the eudialyte group, [2] with the formula Na 10 Ca 3 Ca 6 Zr 3 Fe 2 SiNb(Si 3 O 9) 2 (Si 9 O 27) 2 CO 3 (OH) 3 •H 2 O. [3] The original formula was extended to show both the presence of cyclic silicate groups and silicon at the M4 site, according to the nomenclature of the eudialyte group. [4]
Organosilicon chemistry is the study of organometallic compounds containing carbon–silicon bonds, to which they are called organosilicon compounds. Most organosilicon compounds are similar to the ordinary organic compounds, being colourless, flammable, hydrophobic, and stable to air.
