We provide an overview of chemical transformations that proceed spontaneously, by mixing
of initially solid reactants, and are accelerated and/or directed through gentle stimuli in the …

Most research on polyoxometalates (POMs) has been devoted to synthetic compounds.
However, recent mineralogical discoveries of POMs in mineral structures demonstrate their …

The complexities of chemical composition and crystal structure are fundamental
characteristics of minerals that have high relevance to the understanding of their stability …

Molecular assembly indices, which measure the number of unique sequential steps
theoretically required to construct a three-dimensional molecule from its constituent atomic …

Through the years, mineralogical studies have produced a tremendous amount of data on
the atomic arrangement and mineral properties. Quite often, structural analysis has led to …

Uranyl carbonates are one of the largest groups of secondary uranium (VI)-bearing natural
phases being represented by 40 minerals approved by the International Mineralogical …

The modular approach is a powerful tool in current inorganic crystal chemistry. It enables not
only a more detailed analysis of the known structures and the determination of structural …

The crystal structure of magnesian halotrichite has been refined for two samples collected as
white efflorescences from the surface of geothermal fields associated with the Koshelevsky …

Complexity is one of the important characteristics of crystal structures, which can be
measured as the amount of Shannon information per atom or per unit cell. Since complexity …

Aqueous calcium uranyl carbonate complexes are the predominant form of U (VI) in neutral
to alkaline water in the environment, including seawater. We report a robust and repeatable …
