Abstract

The boron and iron for aluminum substitution in the Rb-leucite structure (RbAlSi2O6, ICDD card 38-201) has been examined by sol-gel preparation of different samples along the three compositional joins Rb(X,Y)Si2O6, where X and Y are any two of the elements Al, Fe, B. The compound RbBSi2O6 (a0=12.831 Å) is here described and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction for the first time, while the compound RbFeSi2O6 is reexamined with a more precise determination of lattice parameters and diffraction intensities with respect to ICDD card 31-1189. The lattice parameters and the space groups of different selected terms of the three solid solutions are reported.
