Structure refinement based on powder X-ray diffraction intensities has been carried out on zirconolite phases containing ∼10 mole% of various oxides in solid solution. Unambiguous crystallographic location of solute cations was not always possible, but it is shown that the large cations Thiv, Ndiii, Gdiii, Ybiii, and Sciiisubstitute for Caiiand Zrivin the structure, and that the smaller Feiii, Coii, Mgii, Tav, and Snivsubstitute for Tiiv, while some exchange of Tiivand Zrivalso occurs. There is evidence that both cation and anion arrays are intact in these solid solutions, so that the overall stoichiometry is alwaysM4O7, i.e., the formal charges of substituting cations are mutually dependent. It is shown that the structure will tolerate substitution of Ndiiior Thivfor Caiionly if Zrivis simultaneously substituted by cations of lower charge, e.g., Sciiior Mgii: if these are not available, an appropriate amount of Tiiiibecomes stabilized in the structure, and this may be supplied from a suitable excess of TiO2in the reaction mixture. The extent of the heterotype solid solutions has not been explored: however, in the case of Sniv, substitution for Tiivcan be complete. Zirconolite-related phases with rhombohedral substructure that form at high solute concentrations are discussed.
