The structure of Hg3(HSeO3)2(SeO3)2 contains layers parallel to the bc plane with hydrogen bonds between the layers. The two inequivalent Hg2+ ions are six- and seven-coordinate.

In both (N2H5)3[GaF6] and (N2H6)[GaF5(H2O)], the six-coordinate Ga atoms are arranged in a distorted f.c.c. fashion. Extensive hydrogen bonding of the type N-H⋯F stabilizes the structures.

The structure of Cu3Er(SeO3)2O2Cl, the Er analogue of francisite [Cu3Bi(SeO3)2O2Cl], is reported. Differences in the M3+ coordination geometries in the two compounds are discussed.

The structure of SrB2O4 consists of slightly puckered borate layers with the composition (B2O4)n2n-; the Sr atoms are dodecahedrally coordinated by eight O atoms from neighbouring layers of borate molecules.

La2LiMoO6 adopts a monoclinic deformation of the perovskite structure with an ordered distribution of the Mo5+ and Li+ ions over the octahedral sites. The La3+ cations are coordinated by eight O atoms.

The structure of Cd3[Ir(CN)6]2.12H2O (space group Fm3m) is disordered. The divalent Cd atoms are linked to Ir atoms by linear cyanide bridges; the disorder is such that one-third of the Ir atoms and cyanide bridges are replaced by water molecules.

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.
