Dear Armel,
it's a very good idea to put such a list on the web. If it is regularly
updated it would also help to spread structural information faster than
the ICSD (which is always lagging behind a considerable time), and
would help to avoid double work.
Please feel free to incorporate the information below.
Structures of the following minerals are already solved:
benauite (not on your list; our lab, to be published, CCD single-crystal
data)
cafetite (Krivovichev, pers. comm., to be published; CCD data)
hydrocerussite (Pluth et al., pers. comm., to be published; powder and
single-crystal data)
duhamelite (our lab; member of descloizite group, CCD data, to be
published)
elyite (not on your list; Am. Mineral. 85 (2001), 1816-1821; CCD data).
kingite (not on your list; Pring, pers. comm., to be published, powder
data)
lavendulan (our lab, to be published, CCD data)
Marthozite (not on your list; Cooper, pers. comm., Can. Mineral. (in
press); CCD data)
namibite (Am. Mineral. 85 (2000), 1298-1301; CCD data)
priceite (Pring, pers. comm., to be published, powder data)
pushcharovskite (Eur. J. Mineral. 12 (2000), 95-104; single-crystal data)
rankachite (not on your list; our lab, to be published, CCD single-crystal
data)
rimkorolgite (?) (I remember some paper on this one)
satterlyite (not on your list; our lab,Eur. J. Mineral. (in press); CCD data)
shcherbakovite (Krivovichev, pers. comm., to be published; CCD data)
trimounsite (not on your list; our lab, to be published, CCD data)
tuperssuatsiaite (Garvie, pers. comm., in press; CCD data)
uranopilite (Brugger, pers. comm., to be published)
wycheproofite (not on your list; our lab, to be published, CCD data)
Other minerals on the list are known to belong to a group of isostructural
minerals; thus, their structures obviously only need to be refined.
Cheers, Uwe
