CaNaMgFeAlTiSiAl2O6

CaNaMgFeAlTiSiAl2O6 is a proposed complex silicate oxide that reflects a highly substituted, multi-cation composition. The formula, as written, lists the elements present rather than a single fixed stoichiometry, which in mineralogical context denotes a substantial solid-solution with extensive cation substitution across available lattice sites.

Structurally, such a compound would be expected to form a silicate framework in which SiO4 tetrahedra are linked with AlO4 units, creating a network that can accommodate a broad range of charge-balancing cations. Aluminum substitution for silicon introduces negative charge in the framework, which would be balanced by interstitial or framework cations such as Ca2+, Na+, and Mg2+. Titanium and iron could occupy octahedral or tetrahedral sites, further increasing disorder and the potential for a high-entropy oxide-like behavior within the silicate lattice.

Occurrence and synthesis are not associated with a well-established natural mineral carrying this exact composition. The arrangement is primarily of interest in the context of high-entropy silicates and multicomponent oxide research. Synthetic approaches include solid-state reaction, sol–gel methods, and hydrothermal synthesis, used to explore how composition and cation ordering influence structure and properties.

Properties and significance are expected to be highly composition-dependent, with broad tunability in aspects such as thermal stability, dielectric behavior, and optical or catalytic performance. Studying such systems aids understanding of complex solid solutions in geology and materials science, and can inform design of materials with customized functional characteristics.
