Abstract
Olique-texture electron diffraction examination of K-saturated dioctahedral smectites after 70–100 wetting-drying cycles allows the determination of cation distribution between trans and cis octahedra of the 2:1 layers. Studies of smectites with different compositions has revealed a wide variety of occupancies of the available octahedral sites.
