The structural behavior of tugtupite, (ideally Na 8 [Al 2 Be 2 Si 8 O 24 ]Cl 2 ), a member of the sodalitegroup minerals, at room pressure and from 33 to 982 °C on heating, was determined by using in situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data [λ = 0.91997(4) Å] and Rietveld refinement. The sample was heated at a rate of 9.5 °C/min and X-ray traces were collected at intervals of 16 °C. The unit-cell parameters for tugtupite increase smoothly and non-linearly to 982 °C. The percent volume change between 33 and 982 °C is 2.97(3)%. In tugtupite, large displacement parameters occur for the Na and Cl atoms, and the Na-Cl bond expands with temperature. The [Na 4 ⋅Cl] 3+  clusters expand with increases of the Na-Cl bond length by 0.073(3) Å between 33 and 982 °C. This forces the Na atoms toward the plane of the framework six-membered rings, and causes the framework tetrahedra to rotate. The framework TO 4  (T = Al 3+ , Be 2+ , or Si 4+ ) tetrahedra distort slightly with temperature, but the T-O distances remain nearly constant. This mechanism causes a fairly high-rate of expansion in tugtupite. If the Na atom reaches approximately the plane of the six-membered ring, because of the increase in bonding to the Na atom, the expansion will be retarded, but tugtupite melts before this occurs. Tugtupite melts at 1029 °C. The NaCl component in tugtupite is lost in two main stages; 1.8 wt% NaCl is first lost at about 1007 °C, and 8.2 wt% NaCl is lost in several steps between 1019 and 1442 °C.
