Item Assessment of the molecular structure of an intermediate member of the triplite-zwieselite mineral series : a raman and infrared study.(2014) Frost, Ray Leslie; Xi, Yunfei; López, Andrés; Moreira, Viviane Amaral; Cipriano, Ricardo Augusto Scholz; Lima, Rosa Malena Fernandes; Gandini, Antônio LucianoThe mineral series triplite-zwieselite with theoretical formula (Mn2þ)2(PO4)(F)-(Fe2þ)2(PO4)(F) from the El Criolo granitic pegmatite, located in the Eastern Pampean Ranges of Cordoba Province, was studied using electron microprobe, thermogravimetry, and Raman and infrared spec- troscopy. The analysis of the mineral provided a formula of (Fe1.00, Mn0.85, Ca0.08, Mg0.06)P2.00(PO4)1.00(F0.80, OH0.20)P1.00. An intense Raman band at 981cm1 with a shoulder at 977cm1 is assigned to the PO3 4 n1 symmetric stretching mode. The observation of two bands for the phosphate symmetric stretching mode offers support for the concept that the phosphate units in the structure of triplite-zwieselite are not equivalent. Low-intensity Raman bands at 1012, 1036, 1071, 1087, and 1127 cm1 are assigned to the PO3 4 n3 antisymmetric stretching modes. A set of Raman bands at 572, 604, 639, and 684 cm1 are attributed to the PO3 4 n4 out-of-plane bending modes. A single intense Raman band is found at 3508 cm1 and is assigned to the stretching vibration of hydroxyl units. Infrared bands are observed at 3018, 3125, and 3358 cm1 and are attributed to water stretching vibrations. Supplemental materials are available for this article.

Qualitative chemical analysis of kornerupine shows a magnesium-aluminium silicate. Strong Raman bands at 925, 995 and 1051 cm-1 with bands of lesser intensity at 1035 and 1084 cm-1 are assigned to the silicon-oxygen stretching vibrations of the siloxane units. Raman bands at 923 and 947 cm-1 are attributed to the symmetrical stretching vibrations of trigonal boron. Infrared spectra show greater complexity and the infrared bands are more difficult to assign. Two intense Raman bands at 3547 and 3612 cm-1 are assigned to the stretching vibrations of hydroxyl units. In the infrared bands are observed at 3544 and 3610 cm-1. Water is also identified in the spectra of kornerupine.Item Raman and infrared spectroscopic characterization of the arsenate-bearing mineral tangdanite– and in comparison with the discredited mineral clinotyrolite.(2013) Frost, Ray Leslie; Cipriano, Ricardo Augusto Scholz; López, AndrésTheminerals clinotyrolite and fuxiaotuite are discredited in terms of the mineral tangdanite. Themixed anionmineral tangdanite Ca2Cu9(AsO4)4(SO4)0.5(OH)9 9H2O has been studied using a combination of Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Characteristic bands associated with arsenate, sulphate and hydroxyl units are identified. Broad bands in the OH stretching region are observed and are resolved into component bands. These bands are assigned to water and hydroxyl stretching vibrations. Two intense Raman bands at 837 and approximately 734 cm 1 are assigned to the ν1 (AsO4)3 symmetric stretching and ν3 (AsO4)3 antisymmetric stretching modes. Infrared bands at 1023 cm 1 are assigned to the (SO4)2 ν1 symmetric stretching mode, and infrared bands at 1052, 1110 and 1132 cm 1 assigned to (SO4)2 ν3 antisymmetric stretching modes, confirming the presence of the sulphate anion in the tangdanite structure. Raman bands at 593 and 628 cm 1 are attributed to the (SO4)2 ν4 bending modes. Low-intensity Raman bands found at 457 and 472cm 1 are assigned to the (AsO4)3 ν2 bending modes. A comparison is made with the previously obtained spectral data on the discredited mineral clinotyrolite.Item A Raman and infrared spectroscopic study of the phosphate mineral laueite.(2016) Frost, Ray Leslie; Cipriano, Ricardo Augusto Scholz; López, AndrésA laueite mineral sample from Lavra Da Ilha, Minas Gerais, Brazil has been studied by vibrational spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy with EDX. Chemical formula calculated on the basis of semi-quantitative chemical analysis can be expressed as (Mn2+0.85,Fe2+0.10Mg0.05)P1.00(Fe3+1.90,Al0.10)P2.00(PO4)2(OH)2_8H2O. The laueite structure is based on an infinite chains of vertex-linked oxygen octahedra, with Fe3+ occupying the octahedral centers, the chain oriented parallel to the c-axis and linked by PO4 groups. Consequentially not all phosphate units are identical. Two intense Raman bands observed at 980 and 1045 cm_1 are assigned to the n1 PO43_ symmetric stretching mode. Intense Raman bands are observed at 525 and 551 cm_1 with a shoulder at 542 cm_1 are assigned to the n4 out of plane bending modes of the PO43_. The observation of multiple bands supports the concept of non-equivalent phosphate units in the structure. Intense Raman bands are observed at 3379 and 3478 cm_1 and are attributed to the OH stretching vibrations of the hydroxyl units. Intense broad infrared bands are observed. Vibrational spectroscopy enables subtle details of the molecular structure of laueite to be determined.Item A vibrational spectroscopic study of the silicate mineral harmotome – (Ba,Na,K)1-2(Si,Al)8O16 6H2O – a natural zeolite.(2015) Frost, Ray Leslie; López, Andrés; Wang, Lina; Romano, Antônio Wilson; Cipriano, Ricardo Augusto ScholzThe mineral harmotome (Ba,Na,K)1-2(Si,Al)8O16 6H2O is a crystalline sodium calcium silicate which has the potential to be used in plaster boards and other industrial applications. It is a natural zeolite with catalytic potential. Raman bands at 1020 and 1102 cm 1 are assigned to the SiO stretching vibrations of three dimensional siloxane units. Raman bands at 428, 470 and 491 cm 1 are assigned to OSiO bending modes. The broad Raman bands at around 699, 728, 768 cm 1 are attributed to water librational modes. Intense Raman bands in the 3100 to 3800 cm 1 spectral range are assigned to OH stretching vibrations of water in harmotome. Infrared spectra are in harmony with the Raman spectra. A sharp infrared band at 3731 cm 1 is assigned to the OH stretching vibration of SiOH units. Raman spectroscopy with complimentary infrared spectroscopy enables the characterization of the silicate mineral harmotome.Item A SEM, EDS and vibrational spectroscopic study of the tellurite mineral : sonoraite Fe3+Te4+O3(OH) H2O.(2015) Frost, Ray Leslie; López, Andrés; Cipriano, Ricardo Augusto ScholzWe have undertaken a study of the tellurite mineral sonorite using electron microscopy with EDX combined with vibrational spectroscopy. Chemical analysis shows a homogeneous composition, with predominance of Te, Fe, Ce and In with minor amounts of S. Raman spectroscopy has been used to study the mineral sonoraite an examples of group A(XO3), with hydroxyl and water units in the mineral structure. The free tellurite ion has C3v symmetry and four modes, 2A1 and 2E. An intense Raman band at 734 cm 1 is assigned to the m1 (TeO3)2 symmetric stretching mode. A band at 636 cm 1 is assigned to the m3 (TeO3)2 antisymmetric stretching mode. Bands at 350 and 373 cm 1 and the two bands at 425 and 438 cm 1 are assigned to the (TeO3)2 m2 (A1) bending mode and (TeO3)2 m4 (E) bending modes. The sharp band at 3283 cm 1 assigned to the OH stretching vibration of the OH units is superimposed upon a broader spectral profile with Raman bands at 3215, 3302, 3349 and 3415 cm 1 are attributed to water stretching bands. The techniques of Raman and infrared spectroscopy are excellent for the study of tellurite minerals.Item A SEM, EDS and vibrational spectroscopic study of the clay mineral fraipontite.(2015) Theiss, Frederick L.; López, Andrés; Cipriano, Ricardo Augusto Scholz; Frost, Ray LeslieThe mineral fraipontite has been studied by using a combination of scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive analysis and vibrational spectroscopy (infrared and Raman). Fraipontite is a member of the 1:1 clay minerals of the kaolinite-serpentine group. The mineral contains Zn and Cu and is of formula (Cu,Zn,Al)3(Si,Al)2O5(OH)4. Qualitative chemical analysis of fraipontite shows an aluminium silicate mineral with amounts of Cu and Zn. This kaolinite type mineral has been characterised by Raman and infrared spectroscopy; in this way aspects about the molecular structure of fraipontite clay are elucidated.Item SEM, EDX and Raman and infrared spectroscopic study of brianyoungite Zn3(CO3,SO4)(OH)4 from Esperanza Mine, Laurion District, Greece.(2015) Frost, Ray Leslie; López, Andrés; Wang, Lina; Cipriano, Ricardo Augusto Scholz; Sampaio, Ney PinheiroThe mineral brianyoungite, a carbonate–sulphate of zinc, has been studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with chemical analysis using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) and Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Multiple carbonate stretching modes are observed and support the concept of non-equivalent carbonate units in the brianyoungite structure. Intense Raman band at 1056 cm_1 with shoulder band at 1038 cm_1 is assigned to the CO32_ m1 symmetric stretching mode. Two intense Raman bands at 973 and 984 cm_1 are assigned to the symmetric stretching modes of the SO4 2_ anion. The observation of two bands supports the concept of the non-equivalence of sulphate units in the brianyoungite structure. Raman bands at 704 and 736 cm_1 are assigned to the CO32_ m4 bending modes and Raman bands at 507, 528, 609 and 638 cm_1 are assigned to the CO32_ m2 bending modes. Multiple Raman and infrared bands in the OH stretching region are observed, proving the existence of water and hydroxyl units in different molecular environments in the structure of brianyoungite. Vibrational spectroscopy enhances our knowledge of the molecular structure of brianyoungite.Item SEM, EDX, Infrared and Raman spectroscopic characterization of the silicate mineral yuksporite.(2015) Frost, Ray Leslie; López, Andrés; Cipriano, Ricardo Augusto Scholz; Theiss, Frederick L.; Romano, Antônio WilsonThe mineral yuksporite (K,Ba)NaCa2(Si,Ti)4O11(F,OH) H2O has been studied using the combination of SEM with EDX and vibrational spectroscopic techniques of Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy shows a single pure phase with cleavage fragment up to 1.0 mm. Chemical analysis gave Si, Al, K, Na and Ti as the as major elements with small amounts of Mn, Ca, Fe and REE. Raman bands are observed at 808, 871, 930, 954, 980 and 1087 cm 1 and are typical bands for a natural zeolite. Intense Raman bands are observed at 514, 643 and 668 cm 1. A very sharp band is observed at 3668 cm 1 and is attributed to the OH stretching vibration of OH units associated with Si and Ti. Raman bands resolved at 3298, 3460, 3562 and 3628 cm 1 are assigned to water stretching vibrations.Item SEM, EDX and vibrational spectroscopic study of the phosphate mineral ushkovite MgFe2 3+(PO4)2(OH)2 8H2O – implications of the molecular structure.(2015) López, Andrés; Cipriano, Ricardo Augusto Scholz; Frost, Ray Leslie; Belotti, Fernanda MariaThe mineral ushkovite has been analyzed using a combination of electron microscopy with EDX and vibrational spectroscopy. Chemical analysis shows the mineral contains P, Mg with very minor Fe. Thus, the formula of the studied ushkovite is Mg3 2+(PO4)2 8H2O. The Raman spectrum shows an intense band at 953 cm 1 assigned to the m1 symmetric stretching mode. In the infrared spectra complexity exists with multiple antisymmetric stretching vibrations observed, due to the reduced tetrahedral symmetry. This loss of degeneracy is also reflected in the bending modes. Strong infrared bands around 827 cm 1 are attributed to water librational modes. The Raman spectra of the hydroxyl-stretching region are complex with overlapping broad bands. Hydroxyl stretching vibrations are identified at 2881, 2998, 3107, 3203, 3284 and 3457 cm 1. The wavenumber band at 3457 cm 1 is attributed to the presence of FeOH groups. This complexity is reflected in the water HOH bending modes where a strong infrared band centered around 1653 cm 1 is found. Such a band reflects the strong hydrogen bonding of the water molecules to the phosphate anions in adjacent layers. Spectra show three distinct OH bending bands from strongly hydrogen-bonded, weakly hydrogen bonded water and non-hydrogen bonded water. Vibrational spectroscopy enhances our knowledge of the molecular structure of ushkovite.
