The atomic order in the Na4Ir3O8 structure is investigated by group-theoretical methods of phase transition theory. The critical irreducible representation τ , generating appearance of enantiomorphic P4132 (P4332)-phases from high symmetry spinel-like phase with space group Fd3m, is six dimensional irreducible representation k10(τ1) (in Kovalev designation). Ir and Na atoms form an intriguing atom ordering, giving rise to a network of corner shared Ir triangles, called a hyperkagome lattice. It is shown that inside the hyperkagome lattice, there are closed metal contours of chemical bonds formed by Ir-clusters – decagons. Unusual physical properties of solid solutions on the basis of Na4Ir3O8 are expected. The existence of hyperkagome lattices in six types in ordered spinel structures is theoretically predicted.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>hyper-kagome order</kwd><kwd>ordered spinels</kwd><kwd>decagons</kwd><kwd>nanoclusters</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Anderson P.
