Cover illustration: The reaction of bis-(anthracene)cobaltate(-I) with excess cycloheptatriene resulted in a new 18-electron cobaltate containing two different seven-membered ring ligands. The asymmetric unit contains two independent cation-anion pairs of the title complex, [K(18-crown-6)][Co(3-C7H7)(
5-C7H9)], where 18-crown-6 is 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane. This compound is of interest as the first to possess cycloheptatrienyl and cycloheptadienyl ligands in an anionic metal complex. See: Brennessel & Ellis [Acta Cryst. (2015). E71, 291-295].

Crystal structure of heptaguanidinium nonahydrogen bis[α-hexamolybdoplatinate(IV)] heptahydrate
A compound, (CH6N3)7H9[PtMo6O24]2·7H2O, containing the well-known Anderson-structure heteropolyoxomolybdate, was obtained by recrystallization of its powdered guanidinium salt. The protonated O atoms in the polyanion were confirmed by electron-density maps, interpolyanion hydrogen bonds and bond-valance sums (BVS).
