Abstract

NaAl3Si3(HO6)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NaO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent AlO4 tetrahedra and corners with ten SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.80 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NaO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent AlO4 tetrahedra and corners with eight SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.47–2.85 Å. There are three inequivalent Al3+ sites. In the first Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one AlO4 tetrahedra, corners with three SiO4 tetrahedra, and edges with three AlO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.87–1.98 Å. In the second Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two AlO6 octahedra, corners with three NaO6 octahedra, and corners with three SiO4 tetrahedra.

In the third Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one AlO4 tetrahedra, corners with three SiO4 tetrahedra, and edges with three AlO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.87–1.98 Å. There are three inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent AlO6 octahedra, corners with three NaO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one AlO4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–69°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.61–1.67 Å. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent AlO6 octahedra, corners with three NaO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one SiO4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent AlO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 52–66°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.63–1.67 Å. In the third Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two AlO6 octahedra, corners with three NaO6 octahedra, and corners with three SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 53–67°. There is one shorter (1.63 Å) and three longer (1.65 Å) Si–O bond length. There are two inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Al3+ and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three Al3+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Al3+ and one H1+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Na1+, one Al3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+ and two Si4+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Na1+ and two Si4+ atoms.

In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Al3+ and one Si4+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Al3+ and one H1+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Na1+ and two Si4+ atoms. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Na1+, one Al3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Na1+, one Al3+, and one Si4+ atom.
