About Schoenfliesite Subgroup
Formula:
M2+[Sn4+(OH)6]
Member of:
Cubic stannates of the general formula indicated above. The members of this group contain a hexahydroxostannate(IV) anion.
According to the new nomenclature (Mitchell et al., 2017), this a subgroup of perovskites, defined as A-site vacant double hydroxide perovskites (together with Söhngeite Subgroup and Stottite Subgroup).
Compare the tetragonal minerals of the Stottite Subgroup.

Click on any node to view relationships. Formula-derived relationship network for the group members above. Use Find related species to add formula-neighbour species outside the current group view. Solid links show inferred chemical differences; dashed violet links show same-formula crystallographic differences. Hydration states are not treated as relationship changes. These relationships do not imply any real-world substitution reactions between these species.
