German term

Einstieg in die Abfolge

German to English Science Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng Solid state chemistry
The phrase occurs in the second sentence. Could someone help me with this whole sentence, please.

R.D. Shannon et al. [3,4], die in ihren Tabellen 1969 und 1970 unter dem Begriff „Effektive Ionenradien“ Einflüsse wie Kovalenz, Koordinationsverhältnisse, Spinkonfigurationen und andere berücksichtigten. Dabei wird der Goldschmidt´sche Einstieg in die Abfolge der Ionenradien über die Werte für O2– und F– übernommen.

Not my subject, but... Could Einstieg mean something like "initial discussion"? And Abfolge is order or sequence.

Goldschmidt's introduction to the set/sequence of ionic radii ...

might be possible. My preference would be to use "set" but "sequence" seems also to be possible.

Of the various models that have been proposed for silicates, the ionic one, as developed by Goldschmidt, is by far the simplest. Once a set of ionic radii has been chosen, simple rules allow prediction of the coordination numbers and the general type of structure of a compound of given chemical composition.

Within an isoelectronic sequence the ionic radii vary regularly with ionization ... Goldschmidt [97] chose the Lif radius of 0.078 from the Li-Br(wLi-Cl) ...
