Ca3Y2(SiO4)3 is isostructural with silico-carnotite, Ca5(PO4)2SiO4. The structure contains isolated SiO4 tetrahedra. The three large cation sites are occupied by both Ca and Y in specific ratios.

A new determination of the structure of brochantite using a single crystal shows that pairs of Cu atoms are bonded to form almost linear chains bridged by O atoms. The Cu atoms have distorted octahedral coordination to hydroxyl or sulfate O atoms.

The structure of Cu3Mo2O9 consists of strings of corner-sharing CuO6 octahedra linked to CuO5 square pyramids and MoO4 tetrahedra by edges and corners, respectively. The structure contains the Jahn–Teller active ion Cu2+ in unusual compressed octahedral coordination.

Rietveld refinement of a new layered molybdate from the [MonO3n+1]2− series, (NH3CH3)2[Mo7O22], showed that the molybdenum coordination polyhedra are significantly distorted octahedra. The methylammonium cations are incorporated between the layers.

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.
