About Cancrinite Group
Member of:
A large, structurally complex group of alumosilicates.
In the structure there are large channels closed by 12-membered tetrahedra rings. The channels are surrounded by cages set in columns. In the "cancrinite subgroup" the cages contain [Na(H2O)]+ clusters; in the "davyne subgroup" these are replaced by [CaCl]+ ones (Gatta & Lotti, 2016).

Click on any node to view relationships. Formula-derived relationship network for the group members above. Use Find related species to add formula-neighbour species outside the current group view. Solid links show inferred chemical differences; dashed violet links show same-formula crystallographic differences. Hydration states are not treated as relationship changes. These relationships do not imply any real-world substitution reactions between these species.
