Oxidation of Os(=CF2) Cl (NO)(PPh3)2 by the halogens X2(X = Cl , I), unexpectedly yields the trifluoromethyl complexes Os(CF3)CIX(NO)(PPh3)2 in a low yield which is improved by the addition of LiF to the reaction mixture. The crystal structures of both Os(CF3)Cl2(NO)(PPh3)2 and Os(CF3)Cl0.666I1.333(NO)(PPh3)2 have been determined. Crystals of Os(CF3)Cl2(NO)(PPh3)2 are monoclinic, a 24.543(5), b 9.685(1), c 15.951(1) Ǻ, β 115.81(1)°, Z 4, space group C2/c. Least-squares refinement has returned a residual, R, of 0.048 for 3371 observed reflections. The molecule lies on a twofold axis, with the CF3-group and one Cl-ligand statistically interchanged. Crystals of Os(CF3)Cl0.666 I1.333(NO)(PPh3)2 are monoclinic, a 24.562(4), b 9.690(1), c 16.385(2) Ǻ, β 115.51(1)°, Z 4, space group C2/c. Least-squares refinement has returned a residual of 0.058 for 4087 observed reflections. This crystal structure is best described as a 2 : 1 mixture of Os(CF3) ClI (NO)(PPh3)2 and s(CF3)I2(NO)(PPh3)2, (both with CF3 and I statistically disordered about the diad axis, as above). Both complexes exhibit octahedral coordination geometries.

Two polymorphs of tripotassium erbium disilicate, K3ErSi2O7, were synthesized by high-temperature flux crystal growth during the exploration of the flux technique for growing new alkali rare-earth elements (REE) containing silicates. Their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. One of them (denoted 1) crystallizes in the space group P63/mmc and is isostructural with disilicates K3LuSi2O7, K3ScSi2O7 and K3YSi2O7, while the other (denoted 2) crystallizes in the space group P63/mcm and is isostructural with disilicates K3NdSi2O7, K3REESi2O7 (REE = Gd–Yb), K3YSi2O7, K3(Y0.9Dy0.1)Si2O7 and K3SmSi2O7. In the crystal structure of polymorph 1, the Er cations are in an almost perfect octahedral coordination, while in the crystal structure of polymorph 2, part of the Er cations are in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination and the other part are in an ideal trigonal prismatic coordination environment. Sharing six corners, disilicate Si2O7 groups in the crystal structure of polymorph 1 link six ErO6 octahedra, forming a three-dimensional network and nine-coordinated potassium cations are located in its holes. In the crystal structure of polymorph 2, the disilicate Si2O7 groups connect four ErO6 octahedra, as well as one ErO6 trigonal prism. Three differently coordinated potassium cations are situated between them. Different site symmetries of the erbium cations in the crystal structures of polymorphs 1 and 2 affect their photoluminescence properties. Only polymorph 2 exhibits luminescence. Intense narrow lines in the emission spectrum are a result of the 4f–4f transition. The green emission line at 560 nm is the result of the Er3+ transition 4S3/2→4I15/2, and the luminescence line at 690 nm is the result of a 4F9/2→4I15/2 transition. The crystal morphologies of the two polymorphs are similar. Crystals of polymorph 1 are in the form of a hexagonal prism in combination with a hexagonal base, while crystals of polymorph 2 contain a dihexagonal prism in combination with a hexagonal base, although poorly developed faces of the dihexagonal pyramid can also be noticed.

A distorted octahedral coordination around sulphur is formed by three S - C l bonds and three interionic sulphur chlorine contacts.

Tetrakis(p-methylsulphonylphenyl)tin(IV) and tetrakis(p-methylsulphinylphenyl)tin(IV) n-hydrate have been prepared and their spectra (ir 1350–400 cm−1; nmr, 1H, 13C, 119Sn) and X-ray crystal structures are reported. The first compound is monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z = 4, with a = 21.589(6), b = 6.207(3), c = 22.861(11) Å, β = 93.80(3)° (22 °C); the structure was solved by the direct method and refined by full-matrix least squares calculations to R = 0.043 for 2755 observed reflections. It has 2 molecular symmetry with the methyl group and one oxygen atom completely disordered in both CH3S(O2) groups in the asymmetric unit. The second compound is tetragonal, space group P42/n, Z = 2, with a = b = 15.408(6), c = 6.379(2) Å (−100 °C); the structure was solved by the Patterson method and refined by full-matrix least squares calculations to R = 0.060 for 1209 observed reflections. It has [Formula: see text] molecular symmetry with the whole asymmetric unit disordered. Water molecules occupy positions on parallel 42 axes but molecular packing requirements prevent all sites having 100% occupancy giving n ~ 1 for the hydrate. Keywords: Tetra-aryltins, crystal structures, sulphone, sulphoxide, hydrogen-bonding.

Abstract The 79Br and 127I NQR spectra were investigated for 1,2-diammoniumethane dibromide, -diiodide, 1,3-diammoniumpropane dibromide, -diiodide, piperazinium dibromide monohydrate, and piperazinium monoiodide in the temperature range 77 ≦ T/K ≦ 420. Phase transitions could be observed for the three iodides. The temperatures for the phase transitions are: 400 K and 404 K for 1,2-diammoniumethane diiodide, 366 K for 1,3-diammoniumpropane diiodide, and 196 K for piperazinium monoiodide.The crystal structures were determined for the piperazinium compounds. Piperazinium dibromide monohydrate crystallizes monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a= 1148.7 pm, 0 = 590.5 pm, c= 1501.6pm, β = 118.18°, and Z = 4. For piperazinium monoiodide the orthorhombic space group Pmn 21 was found with a = 958.1 pm, b = 776.9 pm, c = 989.3 pm, Z = 4. Hydrogen bonds N - H ...

AbstractAn approach to structure determination for a crystal from component crystals in equal volume fractions, the most difficult case to the solution, is outlined with precautions for stepwise initialization. Proper selection of a crystal geometrical symmetry space group from a corresponding twin anti-symmetry space group and interpretation of a Patterson space are indispensable prerequisite for the solution. Observations unique to the case are briefly described in a sequence of Patterson synthesis, Fourier approach and least-squares refinement for efficient interpretation and processing.
