The spinel structure is also interesting because it may contain vacancies as regular part of the crystal. For example, if magnetite is slowly oxidized by lying around a couple of billion years, or when rocks cool, Fe2+ will turn into Fe3+ (oxidation, in chemical terms, means you take electrons away).

CoFe2O4 has an inverse spinel crystal structure. The normal crystal structure of an AB2O4 spinel consists of the A2+ atoms occupying all of the tetrahedral coordination sites and the B3+ atoms occupying all of the octahedral sites[2].

Further structural investigations by high-resolution neutron powder diffraction in the temperature range 1.6 K ≤T≤280 K confirmed the spinel structure with an almost complete cation inversion corresponding to an inversion parameter of 0.94. A mutually consistent description of the neutron diffraction data,

Brunogeierite, Fe2GeO4, a = 8.4127(7) Å, V = 595.4(1) Å3, is a rare germanate spinel from Tsumeb, Namibia. Its structure has been refined to an R index of 2.2%. The oxygen parameter, u, is 0.2466(1), indicating nearly ideal cubic close-packing of oxygen atoms. ... KEYWORDS: brunogeierite, spinel, crystal structure...

Spinel single crystals of four compositions along the MgAl2O4–MgMn2O4 join, with Mn3+ up to 0.25 apfu, were synthesized by use of a flux-growth method. The crystals were analyzed by electron microprobe, X-ray single-crystal diffraction, and optical absorption spectroscopy.
