  • This structure was very difficult to reconstruct. (McMurchy, 1934) gives atomic positions with the notation Four equivalent positions for each atom are listed. This apparently should be interpreted as each atom is at one of four equivalent positions, however if that is the case some of the atoms are listed twice, in two of the equivalent positions. We instead used the Wyckoff positions found in (Gottfried, 1937), which seem to match the positions in McMurchy's Fig. 5, but these too have problems: the (Mg, Al)II and (Mg, Al)IV sites are listed as being on Wyckoff positions (8f), but they are clearly on (4e) sites.
  • The sites we label Mg–I through Mg–IV are actually mixtures of magnesium and aluminum, while the Si–I and Si–II sites are blended silicon and aluminum. Given this, the actual composition of the structure given here should be (MgxAl1–x)5(SiyAl1–y)4O10(OH)8, with appropriate fractional occupations on the Mg and Si sites. This puts nine atoms on the Mg and Si sites. However, the nominal formula Al2Mg5Si3O10(OH)8 puts ten atoms on those sites. Given this, and our difficulty in reconstructing the unit cell from the original paper, one should treat these positions with some skepticism.
