Cu 3 (SeO 4 ) 2 (SeO 3 OH) 2 (H 2 O) 16 ( 1 ) is a novel copper selenate hydrate and the first inorganic compound to contain linear octahedral–tetrahedral heptamers. The heptamers are formed by successive polymerization of two SeO 3 OH tetrahedra, two SeO 4 tetrahedra, and three Cu(H 2 O) 4 O 2 octahedra. The linkages between the octahedra and tetrahedra are in the trans ‐configuration, which is in agreement with the Jahn–Teller distortion of the octahedral coordination geometry of Cu 2+ .
