Abstract

Li8(Al6Si6O24)Cl2, a synthetic member of the sodalite family (Henderson and Taylor, 1977), was prepared by heating natural sodalite, Na8(Al- 6Si6O24)Cl2 (from Låven, Norway), in molten LiC1 at 800 °C for 2h, washing uncombined LiC1 from the product and drying at 110 °C Chemical analyses of the natural sodalite and the Li-sodalite are given in Table 1. The cell edge of the Lisodalite was 8.4476(9) Å (Si as internal standard: a = 5.43065/Å at 25 °C in good agreement with literature values (Henderson and Taylor, 1977).
