title: Undulating layers in a new rhodate network: structure of Bi(1.4)CuORh5O10.
abstract: A new rhodate, Bi(1.4)CuRh(5)O(11), with an hitherto unknown channel structure containing undulating layers of RhO(6) octahedra sharing corners and edges has been discovered and its structure refined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. The channels contain Bi(3+), Cu(2+), and some O strongly bound to Cu. The Cu coordination is distorted square planar. Mixed Rh(3+)/Rh(4+) valency leads to significant electrical conductivity.
