Cover illustration: The new salt-inclusion solid (SIS) nonarubidium disodium hexacopper(II) tetrakis(pyrophosphate) heptachloride, Rb9Na2Cu6(P2O7)4Cl7, has been synthesized by employing a high-temperature RbCl/NaCl eutectic flux. It is a member of the series of salt-templated phosphates and arsenates, A2M3(X2O7)2·(salt) [where A = K, Rb, Cs; M = Mn, Cu; X = P, As] commonly known as CU-2 materials. The structure exhibits rarely seen corner-sharing Na4Cl8 units. See: Luviano, Williams, Liurukara, Dayeh, Cox & Ranmohotti [Acta Cryst. (2026). E82, 551–556].

A new magnesium perchlorate hexahydrate phase, Mg(ClO4)2·6H2O, was obtained from the mixed solvents of water and acetamide. The structure crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P63mc and is isostructural with previously reported M(ClO4)2·6H2O (M = Zn, Ni, Fe) phases. The Mg site is half occupied, indicating positional disorder of the metal cation. Prolonged crystallization leads to the formation of larger crystals consistent with an expanded unit cell, suggesting the formation of a disorder-related superstructure.
