The structure of the layered noncentrosymmetric titanosilicate AM-1 (also known as JDF-L1, disodium titanium tetrasilicate dihydrate), Na4Ti2Si8O22·4H2O, grown as small single crystals without the use of organics, has been refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The H atom has been located for the first time, and the hydrogen-bonding scheme is also characterized by IR and Raman spectroscopy. All atoms are in general positions except for the Na, the Ti, one Ti-bound O, one Si-bound O and the water O atoms (site symmetries 2, 4, 4, 2 and 2, respectively).

AbstractTransparent, light blue crystals of Cu[C(CN)3]2·2 NH3 were obtained by dissolving Cu[C(CN)3]2 in aqueous ammonia and subsequent evaporation of the solvent under ambient conditions. Cu[C(CN)3]2·2 NH3 crystallizes in the space group C2/c (no. 15, Z = 4) with the cell parameters a = 1291.9(3), b = 753.18(15) and c = 1200.8(2) pm, and β = 92.68(3)°. The nature of the tricyanomethanide anion and the ammonia molecules were verified by Raman spectroscopy. Single crystals of Ag[C(CN)3] and Cu[C(CN)3]2 were synthesized, the known structures were confirmed and their Raman spectra were recorded for the first time for comparison.

Mineral Constituents

Raman spectra of human dental calculus have been observed for the first time by use of micro-Raman spectroscopy. The spectral features of calculus were influenced easily by heating caused by laser irradiation. Therefore, the measurements were carried out at relatively low power (5 mW, 1-μm spot size). The spectra could be characterized as phosphate vibrational bands due to the v1, v2, v 3, and v4 modes. The overall spectral features did not resemble those of pure minerals such as brushite, octacalcium phosphate, and hydroxyapatite. There were spectral differences among mixed calculus particles obtained from 18 adults, probably due to variations in local mineral composition and differences among patients. However, the averaged spectral features did not vary significantly with formation period from 1 to 6 months. Freshly removed and stored (5-11 months) calculus also gave comparable Raman spectra. Measurements on a fractured sample indicated that Raman spectra at saliva and dentin interfaces are nearly identical, and major mineral constituents may not vary significantly along the growth axis of calculus.

The intensities o f the sharp peaks correlate exactly with the statistical abundance ratio. W hereas the frequency decreases by nearly equidistant steps of 7 cm-1 with increasing n values, the geometric isomers for n = 2, 3 and 4 are separated by only about 2 cm-1. The band assignments are verified by Teller-Redlich calculations.

Raman spectroscopy as a fast and nondestructive technique has been used to investigate heating effects on Desi ghee during frying/cooking of food for the first time. A temperature in the range of 140–180℃ has been investigated within which Desi ghee can be used safely for cooking/frying without much alteration of its natural molecular composition. In addition, heating effects in case of reuse, heating for different times, and cooking inside pressure cookers are also presented. An excitation laser at 785 nm has been used to obtain Raman spectra and the range of 540–1800 cm−1 is found to contain prominent spectral bands. Prominent variations have been observed in the Raman bands of 560–770 cm−1, 790–1160 cm−1, and 1180–1285 cm−1 with the rise in temperature. The spectral variations have been verified using classifier principal component analysis. It has been found that Desi ghee can be reused if heated below 180℃ and it can be heated up to 30 min without any appreciable molecular changes if a controlled heating can be managed.

Research subject. The Savabeisky sulfide copper-nickel ore occurrence, located in the central part of the Khengur (Central Pay-Khoy) gabbro-dolerite complex of the Pay-Khoy, within the Yugorsky Peninsula, located in the Far North-East of the European part of Russia, in the Arkhangelsk region, between the Barents and Kara Seas.Materials and methods. Samples of copper-nickel ores with noble metal mineralization were studied. Palladium tellurides and bismuthtellurides were characterized using optical and scanning electron microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), X-ray structural analysis and Raman spectroscopy.Results. Bismuthtellurides in the Paykhoysko-Vaigach-Yuzhnonovozemelskiy region – michenerite, merenskyite and unidentified palladium telluride of the kotulskite–merenskyite series with crystal formula Pd2(TeSbBi)3 – were found for the first time. The unit cell parameter of Pay-Khoy michenerite was calculated using X-ray diffraction analysis data: a = 6.638(2) Å. According to Raman spectroscopy, the palladium tellurides and bismuthtellurides of the Savabeisky ore occurrence were distinguished into 4 groups: Sb-kotulskite (does not contain Raman-active modes), unnamed PGM Pd2(TeSbBi)3 (bands in the range 95–103, 121–126 cm–1, obtained for the first time), Sb-merenskyite (band 126–135 cm–1), michenerite (bands with maxima 100 and 116 cm–1, obtained for the first time). The Kikuchi lines for michenerite and the mineral of the kotulskite–merenskyite series were obtained by the EBSD method.Conclusions. The diagnosis of palladium tellurides and bismuthtellurides is a rather complicated problem (wide variations in compositions, low hardness, small size, thin intergrowths of several individuals, the presence of impurities, etc.) affecting the determination of their mineral form and requiring an integrated approach. The Raman spectra of michenerite and unnamed PGM can be used as standards for the rapid identification of their natural forms, in contrast to EBSD, which requires improved sample preparation. The relatively high content of antimony in the ore minerals and noble metals minerals at the Savabeisky ore occurrence is the antimony metallogenic specificity characteristic of the entire Uralsko-Novozemelskiy province.
