- Structural Chemistry of Silicates
Crystal Chemical Classification of Silicate Anions 1 CN = Coordination Number mostly CN=4 ! 2 L = Linkedness: Number of oxygen atoms shared between two [SiOn] polyhedra (isolated, corner-, edge-, face-shared polyhedra L=0 isolated L=1 corner-shared 3 C = Connectedness (s): Number of other linked [SiO n] polyhedra (Symbol: Qs)

An atom’s coordination number is the number of other atoms that it bonds to Most common cations bond to 3, 4, 6, or 8 anions; alkalis and other large ions bond to more The strength of an ionic bond is an ion’s charge divided by its coordination number

Most cations occur in only one type of coordination in silicate minerals; however, others such as aluminium occur in several • The Si-O bond in silicate minerals has a dual ionic-covalent character

coordination Ions like Al+3, Mg+2, Fe+2, Fe+3, Mn+2, and Ti+4 enter into 6-fold or octahedral sites Larger ions like Ca+2, and Na+1, are found in octahedral coordination or 8-fold, cubic coordination sites Very large cations like K+1, Ba+2, and sometimes Na+1 are coordinated by 12 oxygens in 12-fold coordination sites
- Lecture 4: Visualizing Crystal Structures; Pauling’s Rules
The number of surrounding ions is called the coordination number (CN) of the central ion Large ions have high coordination numbers because of their large surface areas and small anions have low coordination numbers

Lecture Notes - Mineralogy - Silicate Mineral Classification • Silicate minerals form the largest fraction of most crustal rocks and, therefore, receive consider- able attention from geologists and mineralogists

CN = 3 The coordination number 3 is also rare for coordination compounds They are most common for d 10 ions, especially when the ligands are bulky In most cases the trigonal planar structure, or a structure close to that is adopted
