The Al atoms in Na9[Al(OH)6]2(OH)3.6H2O have octahedral coordination geometry and exist as monomeric [Al(OH)6]3− anions. The Na+ ions also have octahedral coordination geometry and are coordinated by OH ions and water molecules. The NaO6 octahedra are linked through common edges, incorporating the [Al(OH)6]3− octahedra, to yield a three-dimensional network.

The orthophosphate Cs8Fe15F10(PO4)12 is built from layers of vertex-sharing Fe polyhedra linked into a framework by PO4 tetrahedra. The Fe3+ ions have octahedral coordination geometry and the Fe2+ ions have octahedral, tetrahedral and distorted tetragonal pyramidal coordination environments.

The three-dimensional polymeric complexes [Bi(SCN)6La(H2O)3].2H2O and [Bi(SCN)6Nd(H2O)3].2H2O are isomorphic with and have a similar structure to the LaFe(CN)6.5H2O structure type. The bond lengths in the coordination polyhedra and the hydrogen bonding in the structures are discussed.

Cs8[SiW10O36].9H2O contains the heteropolyoxometalate anion γ-[SiW10O36]8−. The polyanions are connected by Cs+ ions to form infinite columns.

Barium gallium nitride, Ba3Ga2N4, is isostructural with Sr3Al2N4. The structure contains GaN4 tetrahedra which share edges to form infinite [GaN4/23−] chains.

The structure of Co2Si(P2O7)2 contains SiO4 tetrahedra, eclipsed P2O7 groups [with a P-O-P angle of 132.3(1)°] and compressed CoO6 octahedra. The CoO6 octahedra share edges to form Co2O10 units, which are linked via four vertices to form a two-dimensional network.

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.
