Structural-Chemical Systematics of Minerals

Provides a new mineral classification system based on the chemical composition and crystal structure of minerals, as well as mineral generation Defines the structural chemical systematic of minerals based on the fundamental properties of atoms and ions, forming minerals Puts forward a new structural chemical systematic of minerals based on diverse chemical properties: their acid base characteristics, cation valence, solubility of compounds, degree of stability under various physical chemical conditions, etc.

Alexander AleksandrovichGodovikov (10.04.1927. 03.07.1995).Soviet and Russian mineralogist, doctor of geol.-min. sciences, professor, the outstanding scientist in the field of theoretical, genetic, descriptive and experimental mineralogy, growth of crystals, development of studying techniques of natural and synthetic products. His scientific interests were connected with study of oredeposits, mineral balances in dry halkogenideand hydrothermal silicate systems for the establishment of stability areas,solubilities of minerals,forms of transfer ore-forming elements, synthesis of new connections at usual conditions and also at high and ultrahigh pressures and temperatures. Being based on modern knowledge of an atom structure developed ideasof chemical bond types in mineralsentered a concept of power characteristics. They formed the basis ofcommunicationsestablishment between a structure of atoms and a formationpossibility of different chemical compounds including minerals. As a result of all these investigationshe offered new structural and chemical systematization of minerals.A.A. Godovikov is the author of 276 scientific publications including 19 monographs and 17 copyright certificates. The main tasks of A.A. Godovikov are: 1) A.A. Godovikov. Mineralogy. 1973. Moscow. Nedra. 519 p.; 2) A.A. Godovikov. Chemical bases of systematization of minerals." M.: Nedra, 1979, 300 p.(in the Russian); 3) A.A. Godovikov. Mineralogy. 1983, Moscow. Nedra. 647 p (in the Russian);4) A.A. Godovikov. Structural and chemical systematization of minerals. 1997. Moscow. 247 p. (in the Russian and English). 4) A.A. Godovikov, S.N. Nenasheva.

A.A. Godovikov taught the following programs: "Mineralogy", "Introduction to mineralogy", "Crystal chemistry", "Genetic mineralogy"at the geologic-geophysical faculty of Novosibirsk State Universityfrom 1963 to 1983. A.A. Godovikov owned a collection of minerals (about 4500 samples) which he donated to the FersmanMineralogical Museum of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He was the director of this museum in Moscow from 1983 to 1995.

Svetlana NikolaevnaNenasheva 1940 of year of birth. russian mineralogist, phD in geol.-min. sciences, the expert in experimental mineralogy (studied phase charts in dry sulphidic and halkogenide systems for clarification of mineral balances, fields of stability of minerals, parameters of synthesis of minerals and new possibleconnections in usual conditions). Her scientific interests were connected also with mineralogy investigations of ore deposits and systematization of minerals. S.N. Nenashevais the author of 178 scientific publications, including following 3 monographs: 1) S.N. Nenasheva. Experimental study of the nature of impurity of silver, antimony and bismuth in a galenite. 1975. Novosibirsk. Nauka.123 p. (in Russian); 2) Minerals of Mongolia. 2006. Moscow.
