The subduction of marine carbonates and carbonated oceanic crust to the Earth's interior
and the return of recycled carbon to the surface via volcanism may play a pivotal role in …

The presence of carbonates in inclusions in diamonds coming from depths exceeding 670
km are obvious evidence that carbonates exist in the Earth's lower mantle. However, their …

The synthesis of a novel type of carbonate, namely of the inorganic pyrocarbonate salt Sr
[C2O5], which contains isolated [C2O5] 2–-groups, significantly extends the crystal chemistry …

We show, by single-crystal diffraction studies in laser-heated diamond-anvil cells, that
Ca2CO4 orthocarbonate, which contains CO44− tetrahedra, can be formed already at~ 20 …

We have synthesized Pb [C2O5], an inorganic pyrocarbonate salt, in a laser-heated
diamond anvil cell (LH-DAC) at 30 GPa by heating a Pb [CO3]+ CO2 mixture to≈ 2000 …

The exceptional ability of carbon to form sp 2 and sp 3 bonding states leads to a great
structural and chemical diversity of carbon-bearing phases at nonambient conditions. Here …

Earth carbon cycle shapes the evolution of our planet and our habitats. As a key region of
carbon cycle, subduction zone acts as a sole channel transporting supracrustal carbonate …

We have synthesized the orthocarbonate Sr2CO4, in which carbon is tetrahedrally
coordinated by four oxygen atoms, at moderately high pressures [20 (1) GPa] and high …

Carbonates are the major hosts of carbon on Earth's surface and their fate during subduction
needs to be known to understand the deep carbon cycle. Magnesite (MgCO 3) is thought to …

Orthocarbonates are a newly discovered class of compounds that are stable at high
pressures. The presence of sp3-hybridized carbon, having structural similarity to …
