Both compounds evince a prafound hexagonal substructure, and have common topological features and similar coordination schemes. Moreover, they may be related by quantitative similarities between their translation parameters and by correspondence between their bond chains along the directions of epitaxy. The planes of epitaxy are [OO1]KS and (OOO1)LKs, and on these planes [O1O]Ks is always parallel to [O1O]LKs, with a misfit of 12.19%. Another pair of directions, [11O]KS and [100]LKs, showing a small angular misfit (0.18°), exhibit an even lower linear misfit (3.09%).engjournal articlehttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/crat.2170300610open access548LiKSO4NucleationCristalsCristalografía (Geología)
