A new three-dimensional bimetallic tellurite, BaV2TeO8, was synthesized by the hydro­thermal reaction of Ba(OH)2, TeO2 and V2O5, and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The three-dimensional framework is built up from anionic [V2TeO8]n2n layers parallel to (101) and connected via Ba—O bonds. The anionic layers are formed by three types of polyhedra, namely VO5 tetra­gonal pyramids, VO4 tetra­hedra and TeO4+2 `folded square' polyhedra.

The structure of Ce(IO3)3 consists of chains of edge-sharing CeO9 polyhedra, which are linked into layers by IO3 groups. The layers are held together via long I⋯O contacts, resulting in a three-dimensional network.

Pb2(Hg3O4)(CrO4) consists of isolated CrO42− tetra­hedra and Hg3O42− zigzag chains connected by inter­stitial Pb atoms. The Hg atoms are linearly coordinated by O atoms; the divalent lead ions are coordinated by three close and five more distant neighbours.

The structure of rubidium gadolinium bis­(tungstate), RbGd(WO4)2, has been determined. The crystal is built up from corner- and edge-sharing WO6 octa­hedral and GdO8 polyhedral groups, giving rise to a Gd–WO4 polyhedral backbone surrounding structural cavities filled with Rb+ cations. The Gd and Rb atoms lie on twofold axes.

The novel title compound, poly­[octa-μ-aqua-octa­aqua-μ-decavanadato-hexalithium], contains [V10O28]6− polyanions with 2/m symmetry linked by centrosymmetric [Li6(H2O)16]6+ cation chains to form a two-dimensional network structure.
