Cover illustration: (Z)-2,3-Bis(4'-[2.2.2]paracyclophanyl)but-2-ene and [mu]-[eta]6:[eta]6-[(Z)-2,3-Bis(4'-[2.2.2]paracyclophanyl)but-2-ene]-bis[(hexafluoroantimonato-F)silver(I)] Toluene Dichloromethane (1/1/1), see Jones, Bubenitschek, Heirtzler & Hopf, pages 1380--1384. The silver complex is shown, with H atoms and toluene omitted for clarity. Displacement ellipsoids are plotted at the 40% probability level.

The composition of Sr(ReO4)2.2H2O has been reconfirmed as the dihydrate. The structure contains trigonal bipyramidal disordered ReO4 groups with two partially occupied

CeCu1-xBi2 is isotypic with ZrCuSi2, and has a layered structure composed of two-dimensional Bi layers formed from closely arranged Bi atoms in a square-lattice array and CeBiCu slabs formed from edge-sharing distorted CeBiCu4 octahedra.

Mg2As2O7.2H2O and Zn2As2O7.2H2O have been prepared by hydrothermal methods. They are isotypic and have a framework structure characterized by zigzag infinite chains of edge-sharing MO6 octahedra linked by As2O7 groups to form a three-dimensional structure containing intersecting tunnels.

In Bi7.5Y0.5O12 and Bi7.68Ti0.32O12.16, Y and Ti atoms replace Bi atoms in the β-Bi2O3 structure and additional O atoms are incorporated. This causes local disorder and irregular displacements of all the atoms.

The structure of PdTe2 has been redetermined. The structure is two-dimensional and comprises layers of edge-sharing PdTe6 octahedra.

The crystal structure of Si2I6, prepared by heating SiI4 with metallic silver, is reported. The Si2I6 molecules have a staggered conformation.

Potassium molybdyl arsenate is built up from MoO6 octahedra and As2O7 groups sharing corners to form layers. The two O atoms of the molybdyl group remain unshared and show short Mo-O distances. The K+ ions are located in the interlayer space.

The β-Ga2O3 structure is formed from a distorted cubic close packing of O atoms with Ga in both octahedral and tetrahedral sites, and contains double chains of edge-sharing octahedra connected by corner-sharing tetrahedra.

The structure of Ba3[V10O28].19H2O is built up from decavanadate ions linked by hydrated Ba2+ cations. There are two crystallographically independent decavanadate ions in the asymmetric unit.

Special and virtual issues

Acta Crystallographica Section C is planning special issues on

The Structural Chemistry of Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysts

NMR Crystallography.

Full details are available on the special issues page.

The latest virtual issue, featuring Coordination polymers and with an introduction by Len Barbour, was published in July 2014.
