Cover illustration: Crystal structure of Cu2FeO2(BO3) represented in terms of cation- and oxo-centered polyhedra in comparison with figures of eigenvalues of thermal expansion tensor at 300 K (green color) and 1000 K (red color). The anisotropy of thermal expansion is explained by (i) the preferable orientation of the [BO3]3− units, (ii) the theory of shear deformations of the monoclinic ac plane and (iii) an arrangement of the oxo-centered double chains. See Biryukov et al. [(2025), Acta Cryst. B81, 457–465].

Thermal behavior of Cu2FeO2(BO3) is investigated for the first time using in situ high-temperature powder and single-crystal methods in the temperature range 300–1273 K. Anisotropy of thermal expansion is described based on crystal structure data.

Symmetric and densest cation–carbon nets are used to describe the novel dense crystal structure of a synthetic, high-pressure carbonate K8Ca3(CO3)7. Though individual modules of the layered packing in K8Ca3(CO3)7 can be found in known structures, a new type of densest mixed net with a stronger aggregation of carbon atoms is formed via replacement of cations with carbon atoms in the symmetric nets.
