Abstract

Tubular chains in the structures of natural and synthetic silicates have been described and systematized using the theory of graphs and by unfolding the tube topology onto a plane. Eight types of tubular chains have been considered: seven silicon-oxygen chains and one mixed titanosilicate chain; their topological and geometric characteristics are analyzed. It is shown that the presence of large cavities in tubes is generally related to their occupation by large low-valence cations (K+, Cs+, Ba2+, Sr2+, etc.) and water molecules. The overwhelming majority of minerals containing tubular silicate fragments were found in hydrothermal veins of alkaline massifs in Russia and abroad.
