Cover illustration: A view of the three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded pts framework in 4,4'-bi(1H-pyrazol-2-ium) tetra­chlorido­aurate(III) chloride, down the c axis, showing how the tetra­chlorido­aurate(III) stacks are incorporated inside the channels. N atoms are shaded and dotted lines indicate hydrogen bonding. See Domasevitch [Acta Cryst. (2012), C68, m169-m172].

X-ray diffraction reveals a new polymorph of volborthite in a single crystal prepared by hydro­thermal means. The structure is monoclinic (space group C2/c) at room temperature, with the unit cell doubled with respect to the previously reported C2/m structure.

The structure of the compound Pb4.94(3)In3.05(3)Bi4.99(3)S17, a compositional variant of a new quaternary sulfide phase, is closely related to that of Pb4In3Bi7S18.

In the title compound, each singly protonated diphospho­penta­molyb­date(VI) anion retains the typical geometry of a ring of five edge-sharing MoO6 octa­hedra, except for one corner-sharing link. Two capping PO4 tetra­hedra share corners with the five octa­hedra. Despite being surrounded by an extensive network of hydrogen bonds, predominantly from the guanidinium cations, short P—O—H⋯O=P contacts associate the anions into infinite columns generated by the c-glide.

The title compound, Li0.97FeII0.79FeIII0.15(PO4), has been synthesized hydro­thermally at 973 K and 0.1 GPa. Its crystal structure is similar to that of natural triphylite and is characterized by two chains of edge-sharing octa­hedra parallel to the b axis. The M1 octa­hedra contain Li and vacancies, and the M2 octa­hedra contain FeII, FeIII and vacancies.
