  • 1. AN SSSR, Moscow. Inst. Kristallografii

Description

The monocrystal fragments are studied of the second monoclinic modification of K2ZrSi2O7 (11). The elementary cell: a = 19.188, b = 14.072, c = 11.075 A, γ = 117 deg 04sup(') contains Z = 16 formular units of K2ZrSi2O7. A stratified arrangement of the cations is the particular feature of the K2ZrSi2O7 crystal structure. The values of interatomic distances for all the cations of one and the same chemical nature lie within the following range: Zr-O = 1.98-2.23 A, Si-O = 1.54-1.72 A, K-O = 2.63-3.17 A
