Rubidium hydrogen maleate (RbH(C4H2O4)): Very nearly centrosymmetrical, i. e., only one H atom position in the structure violates the centrosymmetry [1].
RbHMaleate: a = 4.674, b = 7.667, c = 16.455, α = 90, β = 90, γ = 90.
KHMaleate: a = 4.578, b = 7.791, c = 15.953, α = 90, β = 90, γ = 90.
CoAsS (a = 5.589 Å, b = 5.583 Å and c = 5.581 Å): Co (4a) at (0.259, -0.005, 0), S (4a) at (0.631, 0.383, 0.380) and As (4a) at (0.869, 0.619, and 0.617)
Na2CaAl4Si4O16 (a = 8.260 Å, b = 17.086 Å and c = 9.654 Å) : nonstandard origin (offset by [0.25, 0.25, 0]); Si and Al are fully ordered at the tetrahedral positions of the framework,
and the intraframework Ca and Na cations are distributed in the common Ca + 2Na layers. [2]
