Metasilicate
Metasilicates are silicates containing ions of empirical formula SiO2−
3. Common stoichiometries include MI
2SiO3 and MIISiO3. Metasilicates can be cyclic, usually the hexamer (SiO3)12−6 or chains (SiO3)n2−.[1]
Common compounds containing metasilicate anion are:
- Inosilicates
- Metasilicic acid (hydrogen metasilicate)
- Sodium metasilicate
- Calcium metasilicate
