K2[Ni0.93Fe0.07(H2O)6](SO4)2 has a typical Tutton's Salt structure [see e.g. Acta Cryst. (1964), 17, 1295–1299; 1478–1479]. It is isomorphous with the pure nickel complex, K2[Ni(H2O)6]- (SO4)2, described previously from neutron studies [Cryst. Struct. Commun. (1975), 4, 713–716] with 7(2)% of the Ni atoms replaced by Fe atoms.

The structures of [Co(NO2)(NH3)5]X2 (X = Cl, Br) at 290K and 150K were determined using the same crystal in each case as part of a study of the anisotropy of structural distortion in cobalt(III) nitroammine complexes induced by changes in temperature or pressure, substitution of anions or linkage isomerization in the cation.

Li2V6O13 is found to be the first phase formed (at 2.65V versus Li+/Li) on electrochemical lithiation of V6O13. Lithiation causes a 7.6% expansion of the c axis, but the space group of Li2V6O13, C2/m, is the same as that of V6O13.

β-BaTbF6 is isostructural with β-BaZrF6. The structure is built from [TbF8]4− dodecahedra sharing edges to form infinite chains running along [100]. The chains are linked together by the Ba2+ ions.

The trimetaphosphimate anion in Na3(PO2NH)3.H2O exhibits a chair conformation. The anions are linked to form pairs by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The pairs of anions are further linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the water molecules to form columns.

SrSiO3 is composed of alternate layers of ternary rings of SiO4 groups and layers containing two different types of SrO8 polyhedra stacked along [001].

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.
