Metallic clusters are interesting from various points of view, e.g. as a mean of spreading expensive catalysts on a support, or following heterogeneous and homogeneous catalytic events. It is also possible to study nucleation and growth mechanisms for crystals with the cluster as known starting point.Gold-clusters containing 55 atoms were manufactured by reducing (C6H5)3PAuCl with B2H6 in benzene. The chemical composition was found to be Au9.2[P(C6H5)3]2Cl. Molecular-weight determination by means of an ultracentrifuge gave the formula Au55[P(C6H5)3]Cl6 A model was proposed from Mössbauer spectra by Schmid et al. with cubic close-packing of the 55 gold atoms in a cubeoctahedron as shown in Fig 1. The cluster is almost completely isolated from the surroundings by the twelve triphenylphosphane groups situated in each corner, and the chlorine atoms on the centre of the 3x3 square surfaces. This gives four groups of gold atoms, depending on the different types of surrounding.

In order to explain what crystals are and how their structures are described, we need to understand the role of symmetry, for this lies at the heart of crystallography. ‘Symmetry’ explains the different types of symmetry: rotational, mirror or reflection, point, chiral, and translation. There are thirty-two point groups and seven crystal systems, according to which symmetries are present. These are triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, tetragonal, trigonal, hexagonal, and cubic. Miller indices, lattices, crystal structure, and space groups are described in more detail. Any normal crystal belongs to one of the 230 space group types. Crystallographers generally use the International Notation system to denote these space groups.

The crystal structure of the transition metal-rich orthophosphate mineral arrojadite was reexamined, and the disorder phenomena were analyzed applying modern X-ray single-crystal diffraction and refinement methods on samples from Nickel Plate (USA) and Hagendorf (Germany). As a new feature of the arrojadite structure, two different types of channels oriented along [010] are described. The occupancy of the atomic positions inside these channels have been elucidated.

Crystal structure control is so important to the fluorescence properties that each element should be considered carefully. In conventional synthesis of ZnxCd[Formula: see text]S alloyed nanocrystals (NCs), most of studies focus on ligand–surface interaction on the formation of either zinc blende or wurtzite ZnxCd[Formula: see text]S nanocrystals, instead of the reactant source. In this work, mixed crystal phase was found easily in ZnxCd[Formula: see text]S alloyed NCs when reaction proceeded at high Zn/Cd source ratio condition. Therefore, we regulate the Zn/Cd ratio to obtain relative pure zinc-blende structure, and study the influence of structure change on the fluorescence properties. Further, we have proposed a two-step ZnS coating method to acquire ZnxCd[Formula: see text]S/ZnS NCs with separated crystal-phase between core and shell. Compared with maximum QY of 81% for ZnxCd[Formula: see text]S/ZnS NCs synthesized by conventional one-step coating method, the performance of the optimized NCs has significantly improved with maximum QY of 93%.

AbstractBacterial collagenases exhibit a multimodular domain organization. While the N-terminal collagenase unit harbors the catalytic zinc and suffices to degrade peptidic substrates, collagen substrates come in different types, explaining the requirement for accessory domains such as polycystic kidney disease (PKD)-like domains for efficient catalysis. How the recognition and unfolding of (micro-)fibrillar or triple-helical collagen is accomplished are only poorly understood. Here, we present the crystal structure of the PKD-like domain of collagenase G fromClostridium histolyticum.The β-barrel structure reveals a two-tier architecture, connected by kinked hinge segments. Together with sheet extension as a generic oligomerization mechanism, this explains the cooperativity among accessory domains as well as their adaptivity to varying substrates.

The title compound, C11H10N2O2, was prepared by the esterfication of 5-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid with methanol. The phenyl ring is rotated out of the pyrazole plane, forming a dihedral angle of 6.4 (1)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular aromatic π–π interactions [with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.862 (3) Å between the pyrazole ring and the benzene ring of a neighboring molecule], and by three different types of hydrogen bond (N—H...N, N—H...O and C—H...O).
