From esp1 at rice.edu Tue Apr 23 16:42:34 2019 From: esp1 at rice.edu (Evgeni Penev) Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2019 08:42:34 -0500 (CDT) Subject: [Cod-bugs] information card for entry 1524837 Message-ID: Dear COD Team, We're writing regarding the information card for entry 1524837 (formula: Co7W6). Based on the detailed analysis we have carried out in our recent publication [1] and comparison with other sources [2], including the original paper [3] referenced on the COD page, we believe that the structure as provided in the 1524837.cif file is incorrect. We have identified the problem to be an erroneous entry for the 18(h) Wyckoff position in hexagonal axes [respectively, 6(h) in rhombohedral axes]: ... Co2 Co 0.8065 0.613 0.203 1 0.0 ... This line should read: Co2 Co -0.16667 -0.3333 0.2567 1 0.0 in accordance with Ref. [3]. The incorrect structure can be recognized in a number of publications, including, but not limited to: -- F. Yang et al., Nature 510, 522 (2014) -- F. Yang et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 137, 8688 (2015) -- F. Yang et al., Acc. Chem. Res. 49, 606 (2016) -- F. Yang et al., ACS Nano 11, 186 (2017) -- F. Yang et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 141, 5871 (2019) possibly affecting the interpretation of experimental and theoretical results and the conclusions reached by the authors. We do not, however, express opinion as to how/if the COD entry 1524837 is related to the above publications. We will appreciate it if you can fix this entry, including a clear comment to make any users aware of this important flaw.
