There has been some confusion in the published literature concerning the structure of Metastudtite (UO2)O2(H2O)2 where differing unit cells and space groups have been cited for this compound. Owing to the absence of a refined structure for Metastudtite, Weck et al. (2012) have documented a first-principles study of Metastudtite using density functional theory (DFT). Their model presents the structure of Metastudtite as an orthorhombic (space group Pnma) structure with lattice parameters of a = 8.45, b = 8.72, and c = 6.75 Å. A Powder Diffraction File (PDF) database entry has been allocated for this hypothetical Metastudtite phase based on the DFT modeling (see 01-081-9033) and aforementioned Dalton Trans. manuscript. We have obtained phase pure powder X-ray diffraction data for Metastudtite and have confirmed the model of Weck et al. via Rietveld refinement (see Figure 1). Structural refinement of this powder diffraction dataset has yielded updated refined parameters. The new cell has been determined as a = 8.411(1), b = 8.744(1), and c = 6.505(1) Å; cell volume = 478.39 Å3. There are only subtle differences between the refined structure and that of the first-principles model derived from DFT. Notably, the b-axis is significantly contracted in the final refinement as compared with DFT. There were also subtle changes to the U1, O1, and O3 atom positions. Tabulated powder diffraction data (d's and I's) for the Metastudtite have been derived from the refined model and these new values can serve to augment the PDF entry 01-081-9033 with a more updated entry based on observed X-ray powder diffraction data.

The characterization of the three-dimensional structure of solids is of major importance, especially in the pharmaceutical field. In the present work, NMR crystallography methods are applied with the aim to refine the crystal structure of carbimazole, an active pharmaceutical ingredient used for the treatment of hyperthyroidism and Grave’s disease. Starting from previously reported X-ray diffraction data, two refined structures were obtained by geometry optimization methods. Experimental 1H and 13C isotropic chemical shift measured by the suitable 1H and 13C high-resolution solid state NMR techniques were compared with DFT-GIPAW calculated values, allowing the quality of the obtained structure to be experimentally checked. The refined structure was further validated through the analysis of 1H-1H and 1H-13C 2D NMR correlation experiments. The final structure differs from that previously obtained from X-ray diffraction data mostly for the position of hydrogen atoms.

AbstractK-rich nepheline with a structural formula of A2B6T14T24T34T44O32 (Z = 1) within melilite–olivine nephelinite from Hamada, Shimane Prefecture, Japan, was investigated to clarify its crystal structure and to determine cation distributions in the A and B structural positions of structural channels and tetrahedral T1–T4 sites. The chemical formula of a single-crystal sample was (Na5.437K2.248Mg0.034Ca0.031)Σ7.750(Si8.332Al7.445Fe3+0.158Ti0.009Cr0.005)Σ15.949O32, which results in 65.2, 27.8, 2.1, 3.2 and 1.6 mol.% NaAlSiO4, KAlSiO4, NaFe3+SiO4, □Si2O4 and □0.5(Ca,Mg)0.5AlSiO4 end-member components, respectively, where □ is a vacancy. X-ray diffraction data of a single crystal with dimensions of 0.28 mm × 0.15 mm × 0.05 mm measured at 296 K indicate the space group P63. In the structural refinement, the R1 factor was reduced to 3.69% by taking twinning by merohedry into the refinement. The refinement accounted for 77.7% of the absolute structure and 22.3% of the a and b axes reversed absolute structure. The atomic populations determined in the A and B positions were 1.834 K + 0.166 □ and 5.705 Na + 0.198 K + 0.031 Ca + 0.034 Mg, respectively, implying the substitution of K for Na in the B position. The a and c dimensions are a = 10.0270(3) and c = 8.4027(3) Å. The average <A–O> and <B–O> distances are 3.009 and 2.65 Å, respectively. The substitution of K for Na in the B channel results in increased volume and bond-length distortion of the BO8 polyhedra, which then reduces distortion of the AO9 polyhedra. The average T–O distances indicate that the T1 and T4 sites are essentially filled with Al, whereas the T2 and T3 are filled with Si. Despite the deviation of the O1 oxygen from the triad axis and the combination of K+ ions and vacancies in the hexagonal channels, an incommensurate structure was not observed in the X-ray diffraction data or using the electron diffraction technique.

AbstractThe mixed cation triel borate Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 was synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus at high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 12.5 GPa and 1300°C. Although the product could not be reproduced in further experiments, its crystal structure could be reliably determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41/a (origin choice 2) with the lattice parameters a = 11.382(2), c = 15.244(2) Å, and V = 1974.9(4) Å3. The structure of the quaternary triel borate consists of a complex network of BO4 tetrahedra, edge-sharing InO6 octahedra in dinuclear units, and very dense edge-sharing GaO6 octahedra in tetranuclear units.

AbstractThe crystal structure of the phase Ce5AgxGe4−x (x = 0.1−1.08) has been determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data for Ce5Ag0.1Ge3.9. This phase is isotypic with Sm5Ge4: space group Pnma (No. 62), Pearson code oP36, Z = 4, a = 7.9632(2), b = 15.2693(5), c = 8.0803(2) Å; R1 = 0.0261, wR2 = 0.0460, 1428 F2 values and 48 variables. The two crystallographic positions 8d and 4c show Ge/Ag mixing, leading to a slight increase in the lattice parameters as compared to those of the pure binary compound Ce5Ge4.
