High-pressure synthetic (Na0.97Mg0.03)(Mg0.43Fe0.173+Si0.40)Si2O6, with six-coordinated silicon, isostructural with P2/n omphacite

The title compound, (sodium magnesium) [magnesium iron(III) silicon] disilicate, (Na0.97Mg0.03)(Mg0.43Fe0.173+Si0.40)Si2O6, is isotypic with ordered P2/n omphacite. Its structure is characterized by single chains of corner-sharing SiO4 tetrahedra, extending along the c axis, which are crosslinked by...
