title: Novel lithium-containing honeycomb structures.
abstract: Rock-salt-based honeycomb structures containing Te(VI) and Sb(V) with innumerable prospects of properties and applications were realized in the two new series of mixed-metal oxides of lithium, Li(8)M(2)Te(2)O(12) (M(II) = Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) and Li(8)M(2)Sb(2)O(12) (M(III) = Cr, Fe, Al, Ga). The structures of Li(8)Co(2)Te(2)O(12) and Li(8)Cu(2)Te(2)O(12) were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction for the first time, and mixed-occupancy Li/M was identified.
