(a) A view along [010] of a module of the penkvilksite structure consisting of isolated Ti1 octahedra (dark; blue in the electronic version of the paper) and [001] chains of Si tetrahedra (light, yellow); different stackings of this module along [100] lead to the polytypes discussed in the Comment. (b) The (100) silicate layer formed by the [001] chains: clockwise and counterclockwise chains are differently coloured. Light (orange) and dark (cyan) circles represent, respectively, Na1 and water O atoms. |
