Cover illustration: Dilithium manganese(II) orthosilicate, Li2MnSiO4, is currently investigated as an alternative cathode material in lithium ion batteries. The redetermination of the crystal structure of the low-temperature polymorph based on single crystal X-ray data revealed a perfectly site-ordered model for the Li and Mn sites, consistent with recent solid-state NMR studies. The structural set-up can be derived from a distorted hexagonal close-packed arrangement of O atoms with half of the tetrahedral voids occupied by the three types of cations.

Research communications

The first papers in this new format were published in July 2014. Research communications are longer papers with new text sections designed to help authors bring out the science behind their structure determinations. Figures are included in the published paper and, for the first time in Acta E, individual reports are not limited to single structure determinations. The Research communications format will make Acta E the natural home for structure determinations with interesting science to report.
