The crystal structure of LiAlSi3O8was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, with 813 observed structure factors, refined toR1 = 0.079. Li-feldspar has the smallest unit cell volume of any feldspar with known crystal structure. Comparison of LiAlSi3O8with various alkali feldspars, including...
