About this document

Crystal Structure of Hydromagnesite is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes the crystal structure of hydromagnesite, a magnesium carbonate mineral. Key points: 1) Hydromagnesite has the chemical formula 4MgCO3.Mg(OH)2.4H2O and crystallizes in the monoclinic system. 2) The structure is based on a three-dimensional framework of MgO6 octahedra and triangular carbonate ions, forming sheets and layers. 3) There are large cavities of about 4.6 x 4.6 x 4.1 Å in the structure around (0,0,1/2) where water and hydroxyl groups are located. The structure was det
