The crystal of meta-dinitrobenzene, C 6 H 4 (N O 2 ) 2 , is orthorhombic pyramidal. The dimensions of the unit cell, which contains 4 molecules, are a = 13.3A, b = 14.1 A, c = 3.80A and the space group is Pbn . The method of double Fourier series has been applied, and a projection of the electron density on the ab plane has been made. The plane of the benzene ring of the molecule is inclined at an angle of 20° to the b -axis, and is parallel to the a -axis. Within the limits of experiment, the benzene ring is a regular hexagon of side 1.41 A. The C—N links do not lie in the plane of the ring, but make an angle of 15° with it. The C-N distance is 1.54 A, the N -O distances have been assumed the same, 1.20 A, and the O-O distance is 2.17 A. The closest approach of O to CH in adjacent molecules is about 3.0 A, that between O and O about 3.2 A, and that between CH and CH is 3.8 A. A discussion of the packing of the molecules in the structure is given.

The crystal of 4:4'-dinitrodiphenyl [C 12 H 8 (NO 2 ) 2 ] is an example of one that can for purposes of measurement be referred to orthogonal axes, but which further investigation shows to be structurally monoclinic. The dimensions of the orthogonal unit cell, which contains two molecules, are a = 3·77 A, b = 9·56 A, c = 15·39 A, and the space group is Pc . The method of double Fourier series has been applied, and projections of the electron density on two of the axial planes have been made. The most important projection, that on the bc plane, has no centre of symmetry, and the phases of the Fourier components had to be estimated before summing the series. Although so far as the space group is concerned the molecules need have no centre of symmetry, it is almost certain that such centres exist. Within the errors of experiment, the benzene rings are regular hexagons of side 1·41 A, the two rings in the molecule being co-planar with a common axis. The C-C link between rings is 1·42 A. The C-N links do not lie in the plane of the rings, but make angles of about ± 22° with it. The two N-O distances in the nitro-group are not quite equal, being 1·14 and 1·21 A, the O-O distance being 2.00 A. The lines joining O to O in the nitro-groups are nearly parallel to the plane of the benzene rings, but lie about 0·42 A above and below it. The closest approach of O to CH in adjacent molecules is about 3·0 A, and that between CH and CH, 3·6 A. A discussion of the packing of the molecules in the structure is given.

AbstractThe two line 35Cl NQR spectrum of 4,5-dichloroimidazole was measured in the temperature range 77≦ T/K ≦ 389. The temperature dependence of the NQR frequencies conforms with the Bayer model and no phase transition is indicated in the curves v ( 35Cl)= f(T). Also the temperature coefficients of the 35Cl NQR frequencies are "normal". At 77 K the 35Cl NQR frequencies are 37.409 MHz and 36.172 MHz and at 389 K 35.758 MHz and 34.565 MHz. The compound crystallizes at room temperature with the tetragonal space group D44-P41212, Z = 8 molecules per unit cell; at 295 K : a = 684.2(5) pm, c = 2414.0(20) pm. The relations between the crystal structure and the NQR spectrum are discussed.

AbstractThe crystal structure of [4-C2H5-C6H4NH3]2ZnBr4 (1) has been determined at 150(2) K: triclinic, P1̅, a=724.82(2), b=1194.20(4), c=1322.26(4) pm, α=74.151(3), β=80.887(3), γ=80.434(3)°, and Z=2. There are two crystallographically independent cations in the unit cell of 1: one has its benzene ring perpendicular to the crystallographic a axis of the unit cell and the other one has its benzene ring perpendicular to the c axis. These cations are alternatingly located along the c axis and form organic layers, and the ZnBr4 anions form inorganic layers in between. Zn–Br···H–N hydrogen bonds are formed between cations and anions. In accordance with the crystal structure, four nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) lines of 81Br were observed. The temperature dependence of the 81Br NQR frequencies between 77 and 320 K shows a peculiar feature which is not due to a structural phase transition. The measurement of 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra at around T=340 K indicates a redistribution of cations. The temperature dependence of 81Br NQR frequencies and differential thermal analysis measurements show that [4-C2H5-C6H4NH3]2CdBr4 (2) undergoes a structural phase transition at around 190 K.

Abstract Single crystals of KSc2F7 have been prepared from a mixture of KF and ScF3 . The samples were investigated by X-ray methods. KSc2F7 crystallizes orthorhombically with a = 10.643(2), b = 6.540(1), c = 4.030(1) Å. These data indicate a close crystallographic connection to the monoclinic unit cell of KIn2F7 [1], But in contrast to KIn2F7 , KSc2 F7 crystallizes in space group No. 65. Cmmm - D192h. The R-value for 341 observed independent reflections is 0.060.

In order to obtain an image of the material that has scattered X rays and given a diffraction pattern, which is the aim of these studies, one must perform a three-dimensional Fourier summation. The theorem of Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier, a French mathematician and physicist, states that a continuous, periodic function can be represented by the summation of cosine and sine terms (Fourier, 1822). Such a set of terms, described as a Fourier series, can be used in diffraction analysis because the electron density in a crystal is a periodic distribution of scattering matter formed by the regular packing of approximately identical unit cells. The Fourier series that is used provides an equation that describes the electron density in the crystal under study. Each atom contains electrons; the higher its atomic number the greater the number of electrons in its nucleus, and therefore the higher its peak in an electrondensity map.We showed in Chapter 5 how a structure factor amplitude, |F (hkl)|, the measurable quantity in the X-ray diffraction pattern, can be determined if the arrangement of atoms in the crystal structure is known (Sommerfeld, 1921). Now we will show how we can calculate the electron density in a crystal structure if data on the structure factors, including their relative phase angles, are available. The Fourier series is described as a “synthesis” when it involves structure amplitudes and relative phases and builds up a picture of the electron density in the crystal. By contrast, a “Fourier analysis” leads to the components that make up this series. The term “relative” is used here because the phase of a Bragg reflection is described relative to that of an imaginary wave diffracted in the same direction at a chosen origin of the unit cell.

AbstractAlstonite, BaCa(CO3)2, is a mineral described almost two centuries ago. It is widespread in Nature and forms magnificent cm-sized crystals. Notwithstanding, its crystal structure was still unknown. Here, we report the crystal-structure determination of the mineral and discuss it in relationship to other polymorphs of BaCa(CO3)2. Alstonite is trigonal, space group P31m, with unit-cell parameters a = 17.4360(6), c = 6.1295(2) Å, V = 1613.80(9) Å3 and Z = 12. The crystal structure was solved and refined to R1 = 0.0727 on the basis of 4515 reflections with Fo > 4σ(Fo) and 195 refined parameters. Alstonite is formed by the alternation, along c, of Ba-dominant and Ca-dominant layers, separated by CO3 groups parallel to {0001}. The main take-home message is to show that not all structure determinations of minerals/compounds can be solved routinely. Some crystals, even large ones displaying excellent diffraction quality, can be twinned in complex ways, thus making their study a crystallographic challenge.

The syntheses and IR spectra of the complexes [Mo2(O2C-Ph)4X2]2⊖ with X = N3, CI, Br and the counter ion PPh4⊕ are reported. The azido and the bromo complexes are obtained from a solution of [Mo2(O2CPh)4] with PPh4N3 in pyridine or by reaction with PPh4Br in CH2Br2, respectively. When (PPh4)2[Mo2(O2CPh)4(N3)2] is dissolved in CH2Cl2, nitrogen is evolved and the complex with X = CI is obtained. The crystal structure of (PPh4)2[Mo2(O2CPh)4Cl2] · 2CH2Cl2 was determined from X-ray diffraction data (5676 observed independent reflexions, R = 0.042). It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with four formula units per unit cell; the lattice constants are a = 1549, b = 1400, c = 1648 pm, β = 94.6°. The centrosymmetric [Mo2(O2CPh)4Cl2]2⊖ ion has a rather short Mo-Mo bond of 213 pm, whereas the MoCl bonds are very long (288 pm)

The complexes AsPh4[Cl4V = N-Cl] and AsPh4[VOCl4] are prepared by the reaction of AsPh4Cl with Cl3VNCl and VOCl3, respectively. The IR spectra indicate C4v symmetry for the complex anions with multiple VN and VO bonds and a linear arrangement for the VNCl-group. AsPh4[VOCl4] crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/n with two formula units in the unit cell. The crystal structure was solved by X-ray diffraction methods (R = 0,062, 1096 observed, independent reflexions). The structure consists of AsPh4+ cations and [VOCl4]- anions with symmetry C4v. The extremely short VO bond length corresponds with a VO triple; its steric requirements cause the relatively large bond angle OVCl of 103.4°.
