We conducted single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments on kulanite [Ba(Fe2+, Mn2+, Mg2+)2(Al, Fe3+)2(PO4)3(OH)3] to investigate the potential orientational ordering of its hydroxy groups. Our structural refinements showed no sign of a phase transition between 120 and 353 K. Additionally, the orientation of the hydroxy group was determined uniquely along the c-axis for the measured temperature range of 120-353 K.
