Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are expanding in popularity for broad
applications to challenging tasks in chemistry and materials science. Examples include the …

It is a common procedure in the description and evaluation of structures of inorganic
compounds to consider them in terms of coordination of cations, ie, as extended arrays of …

Uranium minerals have been known since the discovery of U by Martin Heinrich Klaproth
1789, in when he obtained yellow powder of UO 3 from Saxonian pitchblende. However …

Through the years, mineralogical studies have produced a tremendous amount of data on
the atomic arrangement and mineral properties. Quite often, structural analysis has led to …

Uranyl carbonates are one of the largest groups of secondary uranium (VI)-bearing natural
phases being represented by 40 minerals approved by the International Mineralogical …

Uranyl sulfates, including those occurring in Nature (∼ 40 known members), possess
particularly interesting structures. They exhibit a great dimensional and topological diversity …

A structure hierarchy is developed for chain-, ribbon-and tube-silicate based on the
connectedness of one-dimensional polymerisations of (TO4) n− tetrahedra, where T= Si4+ …

The modular approach is a powerful tool in current inorganic crystal chemistry. It enables not
only a more detailed analysis of the known structures and the determination of structural …

Here, I describe a theoretical approach to the structure and chemical composition of
minerals based on their bond topology. This approach allows consideration of many aspects …

The structure hierarchy hypothesis states that structures may be ordered hierarchically
according to the polymerisation of coordination polyhedra of higher bond-valence. A …
