Figure 8
Ladder diagrams showing information growth for the crystal structures of the selected uranyl sulfate minerals (0D and 1D structures) due to contributions from different sources. TOPO = topological information of the structural unit; STR = structural information resulting from desymmetrization of the basic structural unit; INT = information increase due to complexity of interlayer complex including hydrogen bonding network. Insets STR/TOPO and INT/STR represent an alternative graphical expression of the information increase. |
