Abstract
In the last 10–15 years a number of works have been published on structural and crystal-chemical studies of minerals having extremely peculiar structure and composition. Evans and Allman (1968) have proposed the term of “hybrid structures” for all structures containing brucite-like layers of the composition Me(OH)2 that alternate regularly along c with layers of an other type. There is a number of minerals having structures of this kind. The best-known and the most abundant one is chlorite whose structure consists of alternating brucite-like and talc-like layers. The lithiophorite structure consists of octahedral sheets of the idealized composition MnO2 alternating regularly with (Al2/3Li2/3)(OH)2 layers (Wadsley 1952).
