Rb{sub 4}LiH{sub 3}(SeO{sub 4}){sub 4} single crystals (1) are studied by the X-ray diffraction method at 180 K and Rb{sub 4}LiH{sub 3}(SO{sub 4}){sub 4} single crystals (2a-2c) are studied by the neutron diffraction method at 298 K (2a and 2b) and 480 K (2c). It is established that isostructural single crystals 1 and 2 (sp. gr. P4{sub 1}) have analogous systems of hydrogen bonds: chains of four XO{sub 4} tetrahedra linked by three H bonds with the central bond (2.49 A) being somewhat shorter than the terminal ones (2.52-2.54 A). In the high-temperature 2c phase, the amplitudes of atomic thermal vibrations and the degree of proton disorder in the central hydrogen bond have somewhat elevated values.
