Neutron powder diffraction data for seven SYNROC-related barium hollandites Bax (Ma+ Ti4+) 8Ol6 have been refined to establish how various trivalent ions such as Fe, A1 and Ga change the crystal structure and predispose it to radwaste substitution. Particular attention is given to changes in the environment of the tunnel sites and the nature of the monoclinic-tetragonal transformation in hollandites. Structural data from earlier refinements are included in the analysis. The unit-cell volume, the lattice parameter of the unique axis, the O octahedral volume and the tunnel-cavity volume are all controlled primarily by the size of the octahedral-site cations. The change from tetragonal to monoclinic symmetry occurs when the tunnel cations are no longer able to support the tunnel walls which collapse onto the tunnel ions with the corner linkages between the walls acting as hinges.
