The title compound, K(0.8)Ca(9.8)Fe(0.2)(PO(4))(7) (potassium deca-calcium iron hepta-phosphate), belongs to the whitlockite family. The structure is built up from several types of metal-oxygen polyhedra: two [CaO(8)], one [CaO(7)] and one [(Ca/Fe)O(6)] polyhedron with a mixed Ca/Fe occupancy in a 0.8:0.2 ratio, as well as three tetra-hedral [PO(4)] units. Of the 18 sites in the asymmetric unit, the site with the mixed Ca/Fe occupation, the K site, one P and one O site are on special positions 6a with 3 symmetry, whereas all other sites are on general positions 18b. The linkage of metal-oxygen polyhedra and [PO(4)] tetra-hedra via edges and corners results in formation of a three-dimensional framework with composition [Ca(9.8)Fe(0.2)(PO(4))(7)](0.8-). The remaining K atoms (site-occupation factor = 0.8) are located in large closed cavities and are nine-coordinated by oxygen.

This article describes a series of more than 20 new compounds formed by the combination of 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzoic acid (Hthba) with metal ions in the presence of a base, with structures that include discrete molecular units, chains, and two- and three-dimensional networks. As a result of the presence of two ortho-hydroxy groups, Hthba is a relatively strong acid (pK = 1.68).

As part of an educational exercise designed to introduce school students to the technique of single-crystal X-ray diffraction and enhance their understanding of primary and secondary bonding, a group of nine secondary school students was given the opportunity to prepare new compounds and to solve and refine data collected on the crystalline materials they had prepared. Their investigation of the alkali metal salts of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (Hhba) yielded nine new compounds and their structures are described in this article. Whilst the salts might be expected to have similar atomic arrangements, there are significant differences in their structures.

A new three-dimensional (3-D) inorganic metal-oxygen network vanadoborate Na3H10[Ni(H2O)2(VO)6(B10O22)2]·NH4·19H2O (1) constructed from lantern-type {(VO)6(B10O22)2} clusters, NaO6 polyhedra and NiO6 octahedra, was successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method. In the structure, the {V6B20} clusters are linked together through NiO6 octahedral bridges, resulting in 1-D chains along the c-axis. The 1-D chains are further connected by NaO6 polyhedra to give rise to a 3-D open-framework structure.

Titanium--butoxide was hydrolyzed in the presence of benzoylacetone, and the resulting solution was concentrated and dried at 120 or 140 °C to obtain transparent amorphous materials. High-energy X-ray diffraction measurement was conducted at the SPring-8 facility, and the reduced pair distribution function, () was calculated by Fourier transform of the total structure factor, (). The () value suggested that the materials are composed of TiO octahedra linked by corner- and edge-sharing.

Ferroelectricity occurs in crystals with broken spatial inversion symmetry. In conventional perovskite oxides, concerted ionic displacements within a 3D network of transition-metal-oxygen polyhedra (MO ) manifest spontaneous polarization. Meanwhile, some 2D networks of MO foster geometric ferroelectricity with magnetism, owing to the distortion of the polyhedra.
