NOMENCLATURE/CLASSIFICATION PROPOSALS APPROVED IN NOVEMBER 2021

IMA 21-G: Hiärneite: crystal structure, chemical formula and classification

Proposal 21-G is accepted, and based on SCXRD data the formula of hiärneite is revised from (Ca,Na,Mn2+)2(Zr,Mn3+)5(Sb,Ti,Fe3+)2O16 to Ca2Zr4Mn3+SbTiO16. Hiärneite belongs to the calzirtite group of minerals, which also includes calzirtite [Ca2Zr5Ti2O16] and the structurally related cubic mineral tazheranite [(Zr,Ti,Ca)(O, □)2].
IMA 21-H: Redefinition of bixbyite and definition of bixbyite-(Fe) and bixbyite-(Mn)

IMA 21-H: Redefinition of bixbyite and definition of bixbyite-(Fe) and bixbyite-(Mn)

Proposal 21-H is accepted. The name ‘bixbyite’ becomes a series name for material with a bixbyite structure, space group Ia , and Fe3+ or Mn3+ as the dominant trivalent cation (it also includes the orthorhombic polytype of Mn2O3, with space group Pcab). Bixbyite-(Fe) is defined as the Fe3+ dominant part of the series, with an ideal formula (Fe,Mn)2O3, and bixbyite-(Mn) is defined as the Mn3+ dominant part of the series, with an ideal formula Mn2O3.

[Stefan]

Der letzte Punkt dürfte dazu führen, dass einige Systematiksammlungen ein paar Änderungen vornehmen müssen

Der Vorschlag 21-H wird angenommen. Der Name "Bixbyit" wird eine Serienbezeichnung für Materialien mit einer Bixbyit-Struktur, Raumgruppe Ia3 und Fe3+ oder Mn3+ als dominierendes dreiwertiges Kation (dies schließt auch den orthorhombische Polytype von Mn2O3 mit der Raumgruppe Pcab).

Bixbyit-(Fe) ist definiert als der Fe3+-dominante Teil der Reihe, mit der Idealformel (Fe,Mn)2O3, und Bixbyit-(Mn) ist definiert als der Mn3+-dominante Teil der Reihe mit der Idealformel Mn2O3
