Cover illustration: A new layered silicate, Cs2SnIVSi6O15, forms serendipitously at high temperature via attack of the reagents (CaO, SnO, TeO2) and flux (NaCl/CsCl) on the silica reaction vessel. For ease of comparison with its Zr-containing analogue, the structure is described using an unconventional space-group setting, I2/c. See: Ketter & Weil [Acta Cryst. (2022). E78, 111–113].
