The
calculated Li contents <span class="inline-formula"><i>x</i><sub>est</sub></span> of samples between polylithionite and
trilithionite agree with the expected values. The F-rich samples show slightly
increased values and the OH samples lower values. Lepidolites with only F
(<span class="inline-formula"><i>x</i></span> <span class="inline-formula">=</span> 1.5 to 2.0, <span class="inline-formula"><i>y</i></span> <span class="inline-formula">=</span> 0.0), but not lepidolites with only OH (<span class="inline-formula"><i>x</i></span> <span class="inline-formula">=</span> 1.5 to 2.0
and <span class="inline-formula"><i>y</i></span> <span class="inline-formula">=</span> 2.0), were observed after synthesis. With decreasing Li content, <span class="inline-formula"><i>x</i>≤1.2</span>, Li-muscovites containing mostly hydroxyl (<span class="inline-formula"><i>y</i>>1.0</span>) are
formed. It was possible to synthesise fluorine containing micas with a
Li content as low as 0.3 and <span class="inline-formula"><i>y</i></span> <span class="inline-formula">=</span> 0.2 to 1.8. The <span class="inline-formula"><sup>19</sup></span>F and <span class="inline-formula"><sup>1</sup></span>H MAS NMR
experiments reveal that F and OH are not distributed statistically but local
structural preferences exist. F is attracted by Li-rich and OH by Al-rich
environments. The quadrupolar coupling constant which represents the
anisotropy of the Al coordination is low for polylithionite with <span class="inline-formula"><i>C</i><sub>Q</sub>=1.5</span> MHz and increases to <span class="inline-formula"><i>C</i><sub>Q</sub>=3.8</span> MHz for trilithionite. For
tetrahedral Al a smaller increase of <span class="inline-formula"><i>C</i><sub>Q</sub></span> from 1.7 to 2.8 MHz is
observed. Advancing from trilithionite to muscovite both quadrupolar
coupling constants decrease to 2.5 MHz for octahedral and 1.5 MHz for
tetrahedral Al. In polylithionite there is the most isotropic environment
for octahedral Al; there are only Li<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>Al sites coordinated by F in the
octahedral sheets and O from the tetrahedral sheets which are regular,
containing only Si. The distortion and anisotropy for Al in tetrahedral
as well as octahedral sheets increases with rising Al content. The most anisotropic
environment can be found in trilithionite, especially for octahedral Al.</p> |

The calculated Li contents <span class="inline-formula"><i>x</i><sub>est</sub></span> of samples between polylithionite and trilithionite agree with the expected values. The F-rich samples show slightly increased values and the OH samples lower values. Lepidolites with only F (<span class="inline-formula"><i>x</i></span> <span class="inline-formula">=</span> 1.5 to 2.0, <span class="inline-formula"><i>y</i></span> <span class="inline-formula">=</span> 0.0), but not lepidolites with only OH (<span class="inline-formula"><i>x</i></span> <span class="inline-formula">=</span> 1.5 to 2.0 and <span class="inline-formula"><i>y</i></span> <span class="inline-formula">=</span> 2.0), were observed after synthesis. With decreasing Li content, <span class="inline-formula"><i>x</i>≤1.2</span>, Li-muscovites containing mostly hydroxyl (<span class="inline-formula"><i>y</i>>1.0</span>) are formed. It was possible to synthesise fluorine containing micas with a Li content as low as 0.3 and <span class="inline-formula"><i>y</i></span> <span class="inline-formula">=</span> 0.2 to 1.8. The <span class="inline-formula"><sup>19</sup></span>F and <span class="inline-formula"><sup>1</sup></span>H MAS NMR experiments reveal that F and OH are not distributed statistically but local structural preferences exist. F is attracted by Li-rich and OH by Al-rich environments. The quadrupolar coupling constant which represents the anisotropy of the Al coordination is low for polylithionite with <span class="inline-formula"><i>C</i><sub>Q</sub>=1.5</span> MHz and increases to <span class="inline-formula"><i>C</i><sub>Q</sub>=3.8</span> MHz for trilithionite. For tetrahedral Al a smaller increase of <span class="inline-formula"><i>C</i><sub>Q</sub></span> from 1.7 to 2.8 MHz is observed. Advancing from trilithionite to muscovite both quadrupolar coupling constants decrease to 2.5 MHz for octahedral and 1.5 MHz for tetrahedral Al. In polylithionite there is the most isotropic environment for octahedral Al; there are only Li<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>Al sites coordinated by F in the octahedral sheets and O from the tetrahedral sheets which are regular, containing only Si. The distortion and anisotropy for Al in tetrahedral as well as octahedral sheets increases with rising Al content. The most anisotropic environment can be found in trilithionite, especially for octahedral Al.</p>https://ejm.copernicus.org/articles/35/199/2023/ejm-35-199-2023.pdf |
