Cover illustration: The two types of ladder formed by ammonium carboxyl­ate salts. Type II (left) has repeating R43(10) rings, whereas type III (right) has alternating R42(8) and R44(12) rings. The three hydrogen bonds from the -NH3+ cation consist of two legs and one rung. See Lemmerer [Acta Cryst. (2011), C67, o92-o99].

La4.27Mg2.89Zn30, an inter­metallic compound, is a new structure type which crystallizes in the hexa­gonal space group P63/mmc. The structure is an inter­growth of fragments of the CaCu5 and Th2Ni17 types. Strong positional disorder is observed along the six- and threefold axes.

The novel structure of Na8Ca1.5Mg12.5(PO4)12 consists of MgOx (x = 5 and 6) polyhedra and MO7 (M = Mg or Na) octa­hedra linked directly through common corners or edges to form a rigid three-dimensional skeleton, reinforced by corner-sharing between identical Mg12MO48 units.

The copper–manganese phosphate solid solution Cu0.5Mn2.5(PO4)2 was prepared by a reaction between its constituent oxides at 1223 K under argon. The compound has a graftonite-type structure, viz. (Mn,Fe,Ca,Mg)3(PO4)2, with CuII located in one of three distinct metal cation sites.

The crystal structure of La3Cu4.88Se7 contains edge-sharing [LaSe6] and [LaSe7] polyhedra, which are surrounded by copper ions. The five positions for copper determine an ionic diffusion pathway.
