“…The natural zeolite natrolite (framework type NAT), which contains a three-dimensional pore system with intersecting eight-ring and nine-ring channels [1,2], is an important rock-forming mineral that commonly occurs in the amygdaloidal cavities of basaltic igneous rocks [3]. This small-pore zeolite is often aggregated in divergent or radial tufts and can be easily distinguished from other fibrous zeolites due to its unique optical characteristics.…”

“…The essential features of its crystal structure were first described by Pauling (1930), a detailed description was given by Taylor et al (1933), and the first refinement was made by Meier (1960). Natrolite contains chains parallel to the c-direction composed of four-membered rings (S4R) of tetrahedra in which opposing tetrahedra are joined by a fifth tetrahedron.…”

Abstract.A single crystal of natrolite, Na2A12Si3Olo.2H20, was studied by X-ray diffraction methods at room temperature. The intensities were measured with MoK~ radiation (2=0.7107/~) in a complete sphere of reflection up to sin 0/2 = 0.903 A-1. The structure was refined in the orthorhombic space group Fdd2 with a= 18.2929(7)/~, b= 18.6407(9)/~, c=6.5871(6) ~, V = 2246/~3, Z = 8. A refinement of high-order diffraction data yielded reliability factors of R(F)=0.9%, Rw(F) = 0.8%, GoF= 1.40 for 1856 high-angle reflections (0.7 _ sin 0/2 < 0.903 /~ -1) and R(F)=I.0%, Rw(F ) = 1.2%, GoF= 3.07 for all 3471 independent reflections in the complete sphere of reflection. The T-O distances as well as the T-O-T angles were found to be strongly influenced by the different bond strengths received by the individual oxygen atoms. The T-O distances calculated using Baur's extended valence rule agree on average within 0.003 fk with the observed values. Art analysis of the mean square displacement amplitudes allowed a separation of the external and internal vibrational amplitudes along the T-O bonds as well as along the Na-O and H20-O bond directions and the calculation of force constants. The internal vibrational amplitudes (A U) of the T-O vibrations are in the range of 5 to 11 x 10 -4 ,~2, that is about one order of magnitude smaller than the mean square displacement amplitudes of the external vibrations. The corresponding force constants are F= 354 to 824 Nm-a. The values of the force constants of the motion of the Na-ion and the water molecule against the framework oxygen atoms lie in the range between F = 57 and 293 Nm-1. This is the first instance where displacement amplitudes from a zeolite structure refinement could be apportioned between contributions from internal and external vibrations for individual bonds.

“…All of these minerals have a fibrous structure similar to that of asbestos. The structure of natrolite, basic to this series, was determined as early as the 1930s [6][7][8] and was refined in the 1960s [9] (Fig. 1).…”
