Abstract
Using the X-ray diffraction analysis, the structures of the pectolite-serandite series with the general formula HNaCa2−x Mn x Si3O9, are studied where 0 < x < 2, with x = 0.02, 0.14, 0.39, and 1.17. The Mn2+ cations mostly occupy the M2 site (0.02, 0.14, 0.34, and 0.90 apfu). Here 〈M1-O〉 = 2.367–2.369 Å decreases down to 2.355 Å; 〈M2-O〉 decreases from 2.355 Å to 2.239 Å. The lengths O3–O4 = 2.47–2.49 Å, bond lengths H-O3 = 1.07–1.24 Å and H-O4 = 1.44–1.32 Å. For 〈M1-O〉 and 〈M2-O〉 of about (Mn2+ + Fe2+) ≈ 1 a turning point is noted in the graph. The a, b, c, and β parameters decrease linearly.
