Density functional theory has been used to determine positions of hydrogen atoms and to investigate hydrogen-bonding networks in the crystal structures of cornetite, Cu3(PO4)(OH)3, cornubite, Cu5(AsO4)2(OH)4, rollandite, Cu3(AsO4)2 · 4H2O, and yvonite, Cu(AsO3OH) · 2H2O. While hydrogen bonding in cornetite and cornubite are easy to describe, the hydrogen bonding schemes in the crystal structures of rollandite and yvonite are complex and form one-dimensional hydrogen-bonding networks. Informational-based parameters of structural complexity have been calculated for all hydrated copper arsenates and phosphates in order to estimate the complexity of cornetite, cornubite, rollandite, and yvonite compared to other minerals.
INTRODUCTION
One of the major tasks in modern structural mineralogy is an understanding of the mechanisms governing organization of inorganic matter at the atomic and nano scales. In order to solve this complex and versatile problem, one needs to know the detailed geometrical and topological features of chemical bonding in minerals. Copper oxysalts are well-known for their structural diversity and chemical complexity (Elliot et al., 2014; Mills et al., 2014; Pekov et al., 2014; Vergasova et al., 2014; Rieck et al., 2015; Chukanov et al., 2015; Pekov et al., 2018) and can be considered as model compounds for the investigation of structural principles for minerals of metals with unique electronic configurations. Copper oxysalt minerals tend to appear in a multitude of geochemical environments, including primary ores, oxidation zones of ore deposits, hydrothermal veins and high-temperature dry volcanic fumaroles (Plášil et al., 2014a; 2015b; Pekov et al., 2015a; 2015b). The subject of this study is to model and analyse the hydrogen bonding in cornetite, cornubite, yvonite, and rollandite, four species that belong to the most widespread groups of Cu minerals, arsenates and phosphates.
Cornetite, Cu3(PO4)(OH)3, is one of the relatively common copper minerals, which was first described by Cesàro (1912) from the copper mine L’Ètoile du Congo, Katanga, Belgian Congo. Detailed chemical studies of cornetite were reported by Hutchinson and MacGregor (1921), whereas the first diffraction investigation was undertaken by Berry (1950), who determined its unit-cell parameters and the orthorhombic space group Pbca. The crystal structure was solved and refined by Eby and Hawthorne (1989). Cornubite, Cu5(AsO4)2(OH)4, is a triclinic dimorph of cornwallite, which, in turn, is an arsenate analogue of pseudomalachite. The first description of cornubite and its X-ray diffraction pattern were reported by Claringbull et al. (1959). The specimen studied in that work originated from Wheal Carpenter, Gwinear, Cornwall, where it was found in association with quartz and cornwallite. The solution and refinement of the crystal structure of cornubite was reported by Tillmans et al. (1985). The chemical composition and spectroscopic features have been discussed by Janeczek et al. (2016). Rollandite, Cu3(AsO4)2 · 4H2O, was found in the old copper mines of Roua, and described in detail by Sarp and Černý (2000), who provided chemical characterization, X-ray diffraction pattern and crystal structure model for this species. Yvonite, Cu(AsO3OH) · 2H2O, was reported from the Salsigne mine near Carcassone (Aude, France) (Sarp, Černý, 2000), where it was found in association with chemically and structurally related pushcharovskite, Cu(AsO3OH) · 1.5H2O, or, more precisely, K0.6Cu18[AsO2(OH)2]4[AsO3(OH)]10[AsO4](OH)9.6 · 18.6(H2O) (Pushcharovsky et al., 2000).
As it was described by Costanzo et al. (2007), phosphate minerals may act as phosphate donors to nucleosides, which is important in the understanding of spontaneous phosphorylation process under abiotic conditions. At the same time the paragenesis of phosphate minerals are closely related to the anionic P ↔ As substitutions. For example, published chemical compositions of cornubite (Claringbull et al., 1959; Števko et al., 2011) are very close to the ideal Cu5(AsO4)2(OH)4 stoichiometry as opposite to cornwallite often significantly enriched in P (Števko et al., 2011; Arlt, Armbruster, 1999; Plášil et al., 2009).
The differences in structural architectures have essential influence on the kinetics of phosphorylation reactions, e.g. ludjibaite, pseudomalachite and reichenbachite (Cu5(PO4)2(OH)4 polymorphs) display totally different behavior characterized by minimal reactivity (Costanzo et al., 2007; Huminicki, Hawthorne, 2002). In addition, copper ions can act as catalysts in phosphorylation reactions (Jones, Burt, 1960) and are involved in the nucleoside phosphorylation activity of enzymes as purine nucleoside phosphorylase (Grenha et al., 2005).
The crystal structures are known for all four minerals, except for the positions of the H atoms, which were not reported in the original studies, due to problems associated with crystal imperfection, poor diffraction data, temperature effects, etc. The purpose of this study was to use density functional theory (DFT) to calculate the hydrogen bonding networks in the four minerals and to analyse them from the point of view of their relative structural complexity estimated using information-theoretical procedures suggested in (Krivovichev, 2012; 2013; 2016).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Density functional theory (DFT) modeling. The CRYSTAL14 software package was employed for the solid-state DFT calculations (Dovesi et al., 2014). The Peintinger–Oliveira–Bredow split-valence triple-ζ (pob-TZVP) basis sets (Peintinger et al., 2013) were used for all atoms along with the hybrid Becke–3–Lee–Yang–Parr (B3LYP) functional, which provides excellent results for copper oxysalt crystals (Ruiz et al., 2006; Ruggiero et al., 2015; Krivovichev et al., 2016). Geometry optimization was initiated with experimental determined crystal-structure models determined previously for cornetite, cornubite, rollandite, and yvonite (Eby, Hawthorne, 1989; Tillmans et al., 1985; Sarp, Černý, 1998; 2000). The approximate positions of the H atoms have been proposed based on general crystal-chemical arguments. During the DFT optimization, all the non-H atom-positions and unit-cell parameters were kept constant, whereas the positions of the H atoms were allowed to relax. The unrestricted-spin calculation was used and the difference between α and β electrons was maintained for the first 10 cycles. The convergence criterion for the energy was set to 10–7 au. The crystallographic data for cornetite, cornubite, rollandite, and yvonite are given in Table 1, the optimized coordinates of the H atoms of all four minerals could be found in Table 2. Tables 3, 4, and 5 provides basic geometrical parameters of strong hydrogen bonds of all four structures.

Structural complexity calculations. An approach based on quantitative evaluation of structural complexity of minerals by Shannon information theory allows to estimate Shannon information content per atom (IG) and per unit cell (IG, total). According to this approach developed by Krivovichev (2012; 2013; 2016), the complexity of a crystal structure can be quantitatively characterized by the amount of Shannon information that it contains measured in bits (binary digits) per atom (bits/atom) and per unit cell (bits/cell), respectively. The concept of Shannon information, also known as a Shannon entropy, used here originates from information theory and its application to various problems in graph theory, chemistry, biology, etc. The amount of Shannon information reflects diversity and relative proportion of individual objects, e.g., the number and relative proportion of different sites in an elementary unit-cell of a crystal structure. The calculation involves the use of the following equations:
(1)
${{I}_{G}} = - \sum\limits_{i = 1}^k {{{p}_{i}}{{{\log }}_{2}}{{p}_{i}}} \,\,\left[ {{{{\text{bits}}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{{\text{bits}}} {{\text{atom}}}}} \right. \kern-0em} {{\text{atom}}}}} \right],$(2)
${{I}_{{G,{\text{total}}}}} = - {v}{{I}_{G}} = - {{{v}}_{i}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^k {{{p}_{i}}{{{\log }}_{2}}{{p}_{i}}} \,\,\left[ {{{{\text{bits}}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{{\text{bits}}} {{\text{cell}}}}} \right. \kern-0em} {{\text{cell}}}}} \right],$The information-based structural complexity parameters for cornetite, cornubite, rollandite, and yvonite were calculated using TOPOS software package (Blatov et al., 2014), and are given in Table 6.

RESULTS
Cornetite. The main features of the crystal structure of cornetite have been described by Fehlmann et al. (1964) and Eby and Hawthorne (1989). There are three symmetrically independent Cu sites. The Cu2 and Cu3 sites are octahedrally coordinated to form strongly distorted CuO6 octahedra containing four short (1.920–2.022 Å) and two long (2.289–2.820 Å) bonds each. The Cu1 is surrounded by five anions in a distorted square-pyramidal arrangement with four short (1.922–1.995 Å) and one long (2.469 Å) bonds. All the Cu2+ coordination geometries are in a good agreement with the Jahn–Teller distortion (Jahn, Teller, 1937; Burns, Hawthorne, 1995; 1996). Each Cu2+-centered polyhedron is coordinated by two (PO4)3– tetrahedral oxoanions formed around one symmetrically independent P site. The crystal structure of cornetite is composed by corrugated layers of Cu2+-centered polyhedra connected via (PO4)3– tetrahedra forming a three-dimensional framework. The layer is based upon chains of corner-sharing Cu2 octahedra extended along [001] direction (Fig. 1a). Each octahedron within the chain shares one common edge and one corner with two adjacent Cu1 square pyramids situated on the opposite sides of the chain. The resulting polyhedral ribbons are connected by sharing common edges between Cu1O5 square pyramids with dimers formed by two Cu3 octahedra sharing a common edge. Phosphate groups are located in between the Cu-based polyhedral layers linking them into a complex copper-phosphate framework shown in Fig. 1b.
The crystal structure of cornetite contains three symmetrically independent hydroxyl groups. The OH5 group (Fig. 2a) is coordinated by three Cu2+ cations and forms relatively strong hydrogen bond to the O4 atom with the H···A1 bond distance of 1.789 Å (A = acceptor). The D–H···A1 angle (D = donor) is equal to 154.8°. The OH5 site also has one longer OH…O contact to the O3 site with the H···A2 bond distance of 2.461 Å and D–H···A2 angle of 106.3°, which makes it possible to consider its local configuration as an asymmetric three-center hydrogen bond (Jeffrey, Saenger, 1994). Considering this possibility, it is useful to apply a simple test proposed by Partasarathy (1969), according to which the sum of both D–H···A (θ1 and θ2) angles and and the A1···H···A2 (α) angles should be approximately equal to 360°. In the case of the OH5 coordination, the sum of the angles is equal to 358.79°, which indirectly confirms our suggestion. The hydrogen atom is 0.08 Å away from the plane defined by the D, A1 and A2, which is within 0.2 Å set by Taylor et al. (1984) for asymmetric bifurcated bonds. The shortest hydrogen bond of the OH5 group is between adjacent copper polyhedral layers, whereas the longest is within the same layer.
The OH6 hydroxyl group is coordinated by three Cu2+ cations as well (Fig. 2b) and forms two hydrogen bonds with the bond distances of 1.736 and 2.583 Å, quite similar to the OH5 group. The two D–H···A angles are equal to 161.3 and 93.9°, whereas the A1···H···A2 angle is equal to 101.54°, which gives the total of 356.74°, in agreement with the Partasarathy test. The hydrogen atom is 0.11 Å away from the A1–D–A2 plane. As in the case of the OH5 group, the strongest hydrogen bond of the OH6 group serves as a connection between two neighboring copper-oxygen polyhedral layers. The OH7 group (Fig. 2c) forms one two-centered hydrogen bond with the H···A bond length of 1.727 Å and the D–H···A angle of 155.6°. The hydrogen bond is again between two adjacent copper polyhedral layers.
Cornubite. The crystal structure of cornubite contains three symmetrically independent Cu2+ cations octahedrally coordinated by O2– anions and (OH)- groups. All three Cu2+-centered octahedra are elongated with the Cu2+–Oap bond distances varying from 2.320 to 2.468 Å, whereas the Cu2+–Oeq bond lengths are in the range of 1.911–2.031 Å. The CuO6 octahedra are connected by sharing common edges to form infinite brucite-like sheets parallel to (0$\bar {1}$1) (Fig. 3a). Each sheet has vacant octahedral sites capped by (AsO4)3– tetrahedra above and below the plane of the sheet. The remaining corner of each arsenate group is bonded to three copper cations from the adjacent layer to form a three-dimensional octahedral-tetrahedral framework (Fig. 3b).
There are two symmetrically independent hydroxyl groups (Fig. 3c) participating in the formation of the Cu2+-centered octahedra. The OH1 group is coordinated by three Cu2+ cations and has the D–H bond distance of 0.992 Å. The H1 atoms points up towards neighboring octahedral sheet and forms relatively strong two-centered hydrogen bond to the O6 atom belonging to an arsenate group. The H···A bond length is 1.758 Å and the D–H···A angle is equal to 159.37°. The OH4 group has very similar orientation as OH1, but with the shorter D–H bond length (0.979 Å) and elongated H···A interaction (1.958 Å) and smaller D–H···A angle (153.0°). The hydrogen bonds are located in the interlayer space and provides additional linkage between adjacent octahedral brucite-like sheets.
Rollandite. There are two symmetrically distinct Cu2+ cations in the crystal structure of rollandite. The Cu1 atom is surrounded by six oxygen atoms to form [4 + 2]-distorted CuO6 octahedra in agreement with the Jahn-Teller effect (Jahn, Teller, 1937; Burns, Hawthorne, 1995; 1996). The Cu2 atom is coordinated by five O2– anions and has a square-pyramidal coordination. The equatorial Cu2+–Oeq bond distances vary from 1.933 to 1.999 Å, whereas the Cu2+–Oap lengths are in the range of 2.210–2.583 Å. The shortest apical bond is observed for the square-pyramidal coordination.
The basic structural unit of rollandite is a dioctahedral sheet that can be derived from a brucite-like sheet by removal of certain proportion of cations. The vacant octahedral sites are capped by two (AsO4)3– tetrahedra, which are attached to the sheet by sharing two corners with Cu2+-centered octahedra (Fig. 4a). The third corner of each arsenate tetrahedron coordinates the Cu2 atom in the interlayer space, whereas the fourth acts as an acceptor of hydrogen bonds. The edge-linkage of square pyramids results in the formation of infinite chains located in the interlayer space. The chains alternate with channels filled by H2O molecules forming a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network along the [100] direction (Fig. 4b, c).
Due to the presence of three symmetrically independent water molecules and diversity of types of hydrogen bonds (two- and three-centered), the hydrogen-bonding network is rather complicated. The space within the channels is filled by H2O6 molecules which are stabilized by the connection to the main octahedral-tetrahedral framework via hydrogen bonds only. The apical vertices of Cu2+-centered square pyramids and octahedra are occupied by H2O7 and H2O4 molecules and oriented towards the channel.
The oxygen atom of the H2O7 molecule (Fig. 5a) is located on the mirror plane and strongly bonded to two symmetrically equal hydrogen atoms. Such an arrangement results in the formation of two symmetrically-related hydrogen interactions, where the D–H and H···A bond lengths are 0.995 and 1.679 Å, respectively. The O1 atom of (AsO4)3– group acts as an acceptor for this bond with the D–H···A angle of 164.9°. Simultaneously, the H2O7 molecule serves as an acceptor of hydrogen bond formed by the H62 atom belonging to the H2O6 group. The D–H62···A angle and H62···A bond distances are equal to 173.6° and 1.762 Å, respectively (Fig. 5b). The oxygen atom and both symmetrically independent hydrogens of the H2O6 molecule are located on the mirror plane with the D–H bond distances of 0.976 and 0.991 Å. While the H62 atom involved in the two-centered interaction, the H61 atom forms one symmetrical three-centered hydrogen bond with the O1 atom acting as an acceptor. Both H61···A interactions are symmetry-related with the H61···A bond length equal to 2.208 Å. The D–H61···A and A···H61···A angles are equal to 126.4 and 106.5°, respectively. The H2O6 molecule is an acceptor of the hydrogen bond formed by the H41 atom belonging to the H2O4 group (Fig. 5c). The H41 atom participates in the formation of asymmetric three-centered hydrogen bond with O6 and O1 acting as acceptors. The strongest interaction within this bond is the H41···O6 with the bond distance of 1.787 Å, whereas the H41···O1 bond is essentially longer (2.478 Å). The associated D–H41···O6 and D–H41···O1 angles are 164.6 and 111.6°, respectively. The A1···H41···A2 angle of 83.9° with the sum of all three angles equal to 360.1° satisfies the condition of Partasarathy (1969) and confirms the presence of asymmetric three-centered hydrogen bond. The H41 atom lies within the A1–D–A2 plane without no significant shift outwards. The H42 atom of the H2O4 molecule forms a three-centered hydrogen bond as well, with the O1 and O2 atoms serving as acceptors. The H42–O1 and H42–O2 bond distances are equal to 1.567 and 2.590 Å, respectively. Although the H42–O2 bond may seem too elongated to take a part in the formation of an asymmetric three-centered hydrogen bond, the sum of both D–H42···A and A1···H42···A2 angles are equal to 360.0°, and the hydrogen atom lies at 0.01 Å far from A1–D–A2 plane.
The O1 atom of the arsenate group is an acceptor of three strong and one weak hydrogen bonds. Due to the interconnection of all H2O molecules and the presence of two- and three-centered hydrogen-bonds, a complex infinite hydrogen-bonding network extends along the [100] direction filling the channels within the copper-arsenate framework structure (Fig. 4c). This indicates that rollandite may potentially be an one-dimensional proton conductor, but this hypothesis needs an experimental verification.
Yvonite. Two symmetrically distinct Cu2+ cations in the crystal structure of yvonite are coordinated by six oxygen atoms each to form typical [4 + 2]-distorted octahedra. The Cu–Oap bond distances vary from 2.558 to 2.828 Å, whereas the Cu–Oeq bond distances are in the range of 1.923–1.992 Å. Six corners of each octahedron are occupied by two H2O molecules and four oxygens belonging to the Asφ4 (φ = O, OH) tetrahedra to form CuO4(H2O)2 octahedra, where H2O molecules occupy one apical and one equatorial corners in each octahedron. The octahedra share cis-edges to form infinite [Cuφ4] chains extended along [001]. Two chains related by an inversion center are linked along the b axis by sharing vertices with the Asφ4 tetrahedra. The resulting octahedral-tetrahedral sheet (Fig. 6a) is parallel to the (100) plane, where (OH) ligands of Asφ4 tetrahedra remain unconnected to any copper cation and are oriented towards the interlayer space (Fig. 6b). Adjacent sheets are connected via hydrogen bonds only, formed by (OH) groups of arsenate tetrahedra, H2O molecules coordinating Cu2+ cations, and H2O molecules located in the interlayer.
There are four symmetrically independent H2O molecules and two (OH)– groups. The H2O2 and H2O8 molecules coordinate Cu2+ cations, whereas the H2O3 and H2O7 groups are not directly bonded to any cation. The OH1 group of the As1φ4 tetrahedron forms, as a donor, one two-centered hydrogen bond with the OH10 group belonging to the As2φ4 tetrahedron acting as an acceptor (Fig. 7a), where both tetrahedra are attached to the same octahedral chain. The D–H and H···A bond distances are 0.984 and 1.779 Å, respectively, whereas the D–H···A angle is 170.5°. The OH10 group is involved in relatively weak interaction with the H2O7 molecule (Fig. 7b), which is expressed in the elongated H···A and D–A distances (2.219 and 3.063 Å, respectively) and relatively small D–H···A angle (143.6°). The OH1 group has also an additional contact to the O12 atom with the H···A and D–A bond lengths of 2.562 and 2.636 Å, respectively. However, the sum of both D–H···A and A1···H···A2 angles are far from 360°, and thus, it is unlikely that they correspond to any meaningful hydrogen bonds.
The H2O7 molecule participates in the connection of two adjacent sheets by forming two hydrogen bonds with the OH1 and O12 atoms (Fig. 7c). The D–H bond distances are almost the same (0.979 and 0.978 Å, respectively) and the H···A distances are similar (1.775 and 1.713 Å, respectively). The D–H···A angles are similar as well (153.4 and 154.4°, respectively). The H2O3 molecule, unlike the H2O7 group, acts as a donor of two two-centered hydrogen bonds to the O9 and O11 atoms (Fig. 7d) within the same sheet. The D–H bonds are equal (0.989 Å), whereas the H···A are very close (1.712 and 1.706 Å) as well as D–H···A angles (174.8 and 172.9°). Being donors of two hydrogen bonds, the H2O3 and H2O7 molecules also act as acceptors of two more hydrogen bonds each.
The H2O2 group is coordinated by two Cu2+ cations and creates one two-centered and one three-centered hydrogen bonds (Fig. 7e). The two-centered interaction is between H22 and H2O3 with the H···A bond length and D–H···A angle of 1.720 Å and 175.9°, respectively. The H21 atom is involved in asymmetric three-centered interaction, where the closest acceptor is the H2O7 molecule (1.733 Å) and the distance acceptor is the O6 atom (2.528 Å). The sum of both D–H···A and A1···H···A2 angles are 359.5° and the H21 atom is 0.03 Å far from the A1–D–A2 plane. A similar bond arrangement is observed for the H2O8 molecule, which also forms two- and three-centered hydrogen bonds (Fig. 7f).
The hydroxyl groups and H2O molecules form a complex continuous hydrogen-bonding network along c axis within the interlayer space. The octahedral-tetrahedral layers are connected directly via the H2O7 molecules as well as indirectly via two-step interactions between donors of hydrogen bonds belonging to the layer and H2O molecules located in the interlayer space.
DISCUSSION
The DFT calculations of positions of the H atoms in the structures under consideration allow us to estimate structural complexity parameters for cornetite, cornubite, rollandite, and yvonite in quantitative terms. The obtained values are listed in Table 6 along with the similar parameters calculated for other natural hydrated copper arsenates and phosphates (we consider only Cu-containing arsenate and phosphate species without admixtures of any other cations and/or anions). As it was mentioned above, cornubite is a triclinic dimorph of cornwallite, which has twice as much atoms in the reduced unit-cell and has the double Shannon information amount per unit cell. Another interesting feature of cornubite is general similarity of its structural complexity with its chemical P-analogue ludjibaite. Despite the fact that cornubite and ludjibaite are not isotypic, both structures contain the same amount of atoms in the reduced unit-cells and their amounts of Shannon information per cell are different by 2 bits only. Yvonite and geminite are based upon sheets of the same type. The (100) sheet in yvonite is similar to the (001) sheet in geminite, but the structure of geminite contains two sheets. This fact and the difference in the hydration state results in the doubling of the Shannon information per unit-cell. Geminite is more complex than yvonite, which is expressed in the amount of Shannon information per atom and per unit cell. Simultaneously, geminite is slightly simpler than cornetite, but the amount of Shannon information per atom is higher.
As it was shown by Krivovichev (2018), structural complexity is a function of topological complexity, symmetry reduction, hydration state, and modularity. The main structural units of cornubite and rollandite can be derived from brucite-like sheets, but the structure of rollandite is more complex. This fact can be explained by the presence in rollandite of additional structural unit (chains of edge-sharing Cu2+-centered square pyramids) and complicated character of hydrogen-bonding network due to the intra channel H2O molecules. Even though the structure of yvonite is triclinic and contains H2O molecules within the interlayer space, it is simpler than rollandite. At the same time, the most complex structure is observed for cornetite, despite the absence of water molecules and its orthorhombic symmetry. It should be noted that cornetite has the same stoichiometry as gilmarite and clinoclase (except for the replacement of As by P). Having the same amount of Shannon information per atom, the three minerals differ in the amounts of information and atom per unit cell. The structure of clinoclase has four times as much atoms in the reduced unit cell relative to gilmarite. Cornetite is the most complex among the three minerals (and among all hydrated phosphate copper minerals), having twice as much atoms in the reduced cell and double Shannon information per unit cell than clinoclase. The most complex Cu arsenate/phosphate mineral known so far is slavkovite, Cu13(AsO4)6(AsO3OH)4 · 23H2O (Sejkora et al., 2010), due to its complex chemistry and the high hydration state.
As it can be seen, the phosphates and arsenates copper-bearing minerals are closely related. Even though olivenite and libethenite have different crystal structures, they are very close to each other considering their structural complexity parameters. The connection between structural information and configurational entropy of crystals (Krivovichev, 2016) allows us to assume a possible structural transition from olivenite structure type to that of libethenite, which is fully agreed with respective high-temperature investigations (Tarantino et al., 2018).
CONCLUSIONS
Using DFT calculations, positions of H atoms have been determined for cornetite, cornubite, rollandite, and yvonite. Whereas cornetite, cornubite and rollandite have three-dimensional framework structures formed by Cu-polyhedra and As/P-tetrahedra, the crystal structure of yvonite is based upon sheets held together by hydrogen bonds only. The crystal structure of rollandite has a pseudo-layered (or pillared layered) framework structure and contains channels occupied by the one-dimensional hydrogen-bonding system, which has a potential for one-dimensional proton-conducting properties. The information-based structural complexity calculations show that cornubite has a rather simple structure, whereas other three minerals belong to the group of the structures with intermediate complexity.
