Comment | To facilitate understanding of the connectivity patterns shown below, O atoms that connect to a single row of d4r units have been highlighted in the layer of isolated zig-zag chains shown to the right. |

* relative to the previous layer of connectors Positions of d4r unit connectors in a row There are two possible positions for a row of d4r units above two neighboring zig-zag chains in the layer. The position of the first d4r unit (along a) determines the positions of all the other d4r units in that row. Disorder along b: arrangements of the rows of d4r unit connectors The arrangement of the rows of d4r units is not necessarily periodic along b. Each row can be the same as the neighboring one or shifted by 1/2a. |
Effect on channel system | |
The disorder can block one or both of the straight 10-ring channels (e.g. those present in polymorphs A and B) when both d4r positions are present in a single layer of d4r units (see polymorph C). |
