    Abstract

    High resoln. synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction, in conjunction with magic angle spinning 29Si NMR and electron diffraction, were used to det. structures of synthetic analogs based on the 3 dimensional silicate framework of the natural mineral leucite (KAlSi2O6). These structures were refined by the Rietveld method. The structure detns. of dry and hydrothermal synthesized K2MgSi5O12 analogs illustrate the techniques used, and the structural differences between analogs are discussed in terms of cation sizes and synthetic conditions.
