Crystal Chemistry and Structural Complexity of the Uranyl Vanadate Minerals and Synthetic Compounds by Ivan V. Kuporev, Sophia A. Kalashnikova, Vladislav V. Gurzhiy

“…The majority of synthetic compounds, both pure inorganic or organically templated, have their structures based upon mineral-like substructural units of francevillite, uranophane, U₃O₈, and other common topological types, and not even one compound among 57 studied was obtained from simple aqueous solutions at room temperature. This allows us to assume that even under natural conditions, elevated temperatures are required for the formation of isotypic uranyl vanadate minerals, especially in the case of industrially developed thick strata. …”
