Abstract

Single crystals of sudoite from Ottré, Belgium, allow confirmation of a dioctahedral 2:1 layer and a trioctahedral interlayer in a IIb arrangement. A regular 2-layer s structure is formed in which the octahedral stagger within both 2:1 layers is directed along X1 and adjacent layers are alternately displaced by a2/3 and a3/3. Poor quality crystals and twinning prevented three-dimensional refinement. One-dimensional refinement suggests that the smaller d(001) value of dioctahedral chlorites relative to trioctahedral species is due primarily to the thinner dioctahedral sheet.
