Abstract Some recent works dealing with the concept of order-disorder in clay minerals are considered, including those aspects of order-disorder which appeared in the Brindley & Brown (1980) monograph, i.e. disorder in the distribution of cations, disorder in layer stacking, orderdisorder in mixed-layer systems and finite crystal size as a lattice disorder. Heterogeneity of samples and polymorphous transformations are also considered as other types of disorder. Most of these works emphasize that accurate structural characterization can only be obtained if several techniques are combined (e.g. XRD and IR, EXAFS and Mössbauer spectroscopies, etc.). Another conclusion is that accurate structural determination provides the key to the genesis of clays.

• Probing the nanoscale architecture of clay minerals (2010, background): “X-ray methods are intrinsically insensitive to structural differences involving the H atom and are consequently limited in their ability to detect layer stacking disorder (Bookin et al., 1989; Johnston et al., 2008; Plançon, 2001; Plançon et al., 1988; Plançon & Tchoubar, 1977b).”
• Structure of heavy-metal sorbed birnessite: Part 1. Results from X-ray diffraction (2002, methodology): “Calculations of XRD patterns were limited to 20 and 11 reflections (indexing based on an orthogonal base-centered unit cell) because these lines are the most sensitive to structural parameters of layered minerals, such as order/disorder in their stacking sequences (Brindley 1980).”
