The crystal structure of kukisvumite, Na6ZnTi4(Si2O6)4O4·4H2O
The crystal structure of kukisvumite, a rare mineral from Kola peninsula, Russia, has been refined in the Pccn space group with X-ray single-crystal data to R = 0.055. Kukisvumite, ideally Na6ZnTi4(Si2O6)4O4·4 H2O, has a = 29.029(4) Å, b = 8.595(1) Å, c = 5.209(1) Å, and Z = 2. Its crystal struct...
