Structural complexity of uranophane and uranophane-β: implications for their formation and occurrence
Original language description
Information-based parameters of structural complexity for two polymorphs of Ca[(UO2)2(SiO3OH)2] • 5H2O, uranophane and uranophane-b, were calculated in order to assess the impact of the structural complexity on their stability and formation. Calculations proved that uranophane-b is far more complex than uranophane, which indirectly suggests that uranophane may form as a metastable phase during crystallization process. This suggestion is further supported by the lower density of uranophane compared to that of uranophane-b). The hypothesis of a metastable character of uranophane is in agreement with Goldsmith’s simplexity principle and the Ostwald–Volmer rule and is well supported by the frequency of occurrences of both dimorphic minerals in Nature.
