Abstract
Bosoite [SiO2∙nCxH2x+2, hexagonal, P6/mmm, a = 13.9020(3), c = 11.2802(2) Å, V = 1887.99 (6) Å3, Z = 34] was approved as a new species by the IMA-CNMNC (#2014-023). Bosoite is a new silica clathrate mineral containing hydrocarbons as guest molecules in the cages of SiO2 framework structure. Bosoite occurs in association with other silica clathrate minerals: chibaite and melanophlogite.
