文摘This paper summarizes the new developments in the study of barium rare-earth fluor-carbonate mineral structures .The second order superstructure of cebaite -(Ce ) was solved by using high power X-ray single crystal diffractometer .

In the process of study in a cordylite-(Ce ), a new mineral was discovered , whose chemical formula is (Ca0.5□0.5) BaCe2 (CO3)4F . It is isostructural with baiyuneboite - (Ce ), but different in composition (Na in baiyuneboite- (Ce ) is substituted by Ca disorderly ) . On the basis of the studies a proposal to re-define cordylite-(Ce )as a mineral group name is put forth by the authors . Finally a new type of twinning of huanghoite-(Ce ) was found on the systematical absence of diffraction data by means of a single crystal diffractometer .
