| Abstract: | In(OH)(SeO3), prepared by a hydrothermal reaction, crystallizes in a new structure type containing cis InO4(OH)2 octahedra. These groups share both corners (via OH) and edges (via O) to result in a layered motif containing octahedral 8‐ring holes that resembles a single layer of the hollandite structure. The selenium atoms [as pyramidal (SeO3)2? selenite groups] decorate the 8‐ring holes and crosslink the sheets, leading to a three‐dimensional structure. Crystal data: In(OH)(SeO3), Mr = 258.79, triclinic,  (No. 2), a = 5.6523 (2) Å, b = 7.9598 (3) Å, c = 8.0911 (3) Å, α = 87.925 (2)°, β = 79.679 (2)°, γ = 83.201 (3)°, V = 355.58 (2) Å3, Z = 4, R (F) = 0.023, wR (F2) = 0.054. |
