Simultaneous Representation

The main component of this program is a simultaneous representation of the unit cell and the calculated powder pattern. It allows the manipulation of the crystal structure by moving selected atoms of the asymmetric unit. The resulting powder pattern can be directly compared to experimental data in order to obtain reliable starting values for further computations in refinement programs.

Hitherto, phosphorus oxonitride (PON) could not be obtained in the form of single crystals and only powder diffraction experiments were feasible for structure studies. In the present work we have synthesized two polymorphs of phosphorus oxonitride, cristobalite-type (cri-PON) and coesite-type (coe-PON), in the form of single crystals and reinvestigated their crystal structures by means of in house and synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structures ofcri-PON andcoe-PON are built from PO2N2tetrahedral units, each with a statistical distribution of oxygen and nitrogen atoms. The crystal structure of thecoe-PON phase has the space groupC2/cwith seven atomic sites in the asymmetric unit [two P and three (N,O) sites on general positions, one (N,O) site on an inversion centre and one (N,O) site on a twofold rotation axis], while thecri-PON phase possesses tetragonalI-42dsymmetry with two independent atoms in the asymmetric unit [the P atom on a fourfold inversion axis and the (N,O) site on a twofold rotation axis]. In comparison with previous structure determinations from powder data, all atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters, leading to higher precision in terms of bond lengths and angles.

The two acridinedione derivatives 1 [3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-9-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3,4,6,7,9,10-hexahydro-2H,5H-acridine-1,8-dione (C24H29NO3)] and 2 [3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-9-(4-methylphenyl)-3,4,6,7,9,10-hexa-hydro-2H,5H-acridine-1,8-dione (C24H29NO2)] were synthesized and their crystal structures were determined by direct methods. The asymmetric unit of compound 1 contains two independent molecules. The 1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP) ring adopts boat conformation in both 1 and 2. In 1 the dione rings exist in sofa conformation (for both the crystallographically independent molecules) while the corresponding rings in 2 adopt half chair and sofa conformations, respectively. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular N–H⋯O and C–H⋯O interactions in compound 1 and N–H⋯O interactions in compound 2.

The crystal structures of C4Br4S and C4Br4Se have been determined from X-ray powder diffraction data, using direct-space search techniques. In the case of C4Br4S two crystalline phases occur, a stable orthorhombic and a metastable monoclinic phase. For the orthorhombic phase two different structural models were found that fit the experimental data equally well. The diversity in crystal structure models and packings of C4Br4S is explained.

Electrolytic Manganese

It has been shown independently by Westgren and Phragmén, and by one of the present authors, that manganese is allotropic. Both investigations pointed to the existence of three crystalline modifications. The names given to the different forms of the metal were not the same in the two papers, and in order to avoid ambiguity we have adopted Westgren and Phragmén’s nomen­clature. This latter is preferable because the so-called electrolytic manganese, which we called α-manganese (their γ-manganese) is probably a hydride of the metal. It therefore seems better to give the names α-manganese and β-manganese to the two forms which are known to be metallic, as W. and P. have done. The present paper describes the structure of α-manganese, which is stable at room temperature and higher temperatures up to about 700°C. In the two investigations referred to above, the powder method of X-ray analysis alone was employed. In order that the results of any method of analysis may be trustworthy, the method must be capable of discriminating between all solutions which are theoretically possible, and it is not sufficient merely to indicate one solution which explains the observations. If the experimental data are not extensive, and the accuracy with which they can be tested is low, it is easy to get a spurious agreement between observation and calculation, which lies well within the limits of experimental error. This is especially the case with a structure such as that of α-manganese where the unit cell contains a large number of atoms, and the atomic positions depend upon a large number of parameters.

Single crystals of two novel shchurovskyite-related compounds, K2Cu[Cu3O]2(PO4)4 (1) and K2.35Cu0.825[Cu3O]2(PO4)4 (2), were synthesized by crystallization from gaseous phase and structurally characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal structures of both compounds are based upon similar Cu-based layers, formed by rods of the [O2Cu6] dimers of oxocentered (OCu4) tetrahedra. The topologies of the layers show both similarities and differences from the shchurovskyite-type layers. The layers are connected in different fashions via additional Cu atoms located in the interlayer, in contrast to shchurovskyite, where the layers are linked by Ca2+ cations. The structures of the shchurovskyite family are characterized using information-based structural complexity measures, which demonstrate that the crystal structure of 1 is the simplest one, whereas that of 2 is the most complex in the family.

This study investigates the crystal chemistry of monazite (APO4, where A = Lanthanides = Ln, as well as Y, Th, U, Ca, and Pb) based on four samples from different localities using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and electron-probe microanalysis. The crystal structure of all four samples are well refined, as indicated by their refinement statistics. Relatively large unit-cell parameters (a = 6.7640(5), b = 6.9850(4), c = 6.4500(3) Å, β = 103.584(2)°, and V = 296.22(3) Å3) are obtained for a detrital monazite-Ce from Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Sm-rich monazite from Gunnison County, Colorado, USA, has smaller unit-cell parameters (a = 6.7010(4), b = 6.9080(4), c = 6.4300(4) Å, β = 103.817(3)°, and V = 289.04(3) Å3). The a, b, and c unit-cell parameters vary linearly with the unit-cell volume, V. The change in the a parameter is large (0.2 Å) and is related to the type of cations occupying the A site. The average <A-O> distances vary linearly with V, whereas the average <P-O> distances are nearly constant because the PO4 group is a rigid tetrahedron.

A polycrystalline sample of a new polymorph of the title compound, C8H11NO2, was produced during a variable-temperature X-ray powder diffraction study. The crystal structure was solved at 1.67 Å resolution by simulated annealing from laboratory powder data collected at 250 K. Subsequent Rietveld refinement yielded an R wp of 0.070 to 1.54 Å resolution. The structure contains two molecules in the asymmetric unit, which form a C 2 2(8) chain motif via N—H...O hydrogen bonds.

TMPAThe effect of substitutions in the ring and in the side chain on the crystal structure of N- (2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-methyl/chloro-acetamides of the configuration 2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2NH-COCH3− yXy (X = CH3 or Cl and y = 0,1, 2) has been studied by determining the crystal structures of N-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-acetamide, 2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2NH-CO-CH3 (); N-(2,4,6- trimethylphenyl)-2-methylacetamide, 2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2NH-CO-CH2-CH3 (TMPMA); N-(2,4,6- trimethylphenyl)-2,2-dimethylacetamide, 2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2NH-CO-CH(CH3)2 (TMPDMA) and N-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2,2-dichloroacetamide, 2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2NH-CO-CHCl2 (TMPDCA). The crystallographic system, space group, formula units and lattice constants in Å are: TMPA: monoclinic, Pn, Z = 2, a = 8.142(3), b = 8.469(3), c = 8.223(3), β = 113.61(2)◦; TMPMA: monoclinic, P21/n, Z = 8, a = 9.103(1), b = 15.812(2), c = 16.4787(19), α = 89.974(10)◦, β = 96.951(10)◦, γ =89.967(10)◦; TMPDMA: monoclinic, P21/c, Z = 4, a =4.757(1), b= 24.644(4), c =10.785(2), β = 99.647(17)◦; TMPDCA: triclinic, P¯1, Z = 2, a = 4.652(1), b = 11.006(1), c = 12.369(1), α = 82.521(7)◦, β = 83.09(1)◦, γ = 79.84(1)◦. The results are analyzed along with the structural data of N-phenylacetamide, C6H5NH-CO-CH3; N-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2-chloroacetamide, 2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2NH-CO-CH2Cl; N-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-acetamide, 2,4,6-Cl3C6H2NH-COCH3; N-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-2-chloroacetamide, 2,4,6-Cl3C6H2NH-CO-CH2Cl; N-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)- 2,2-dichloroacetamide, 2,4,6-Cl3C6H2NH-CO-CHCl2 and N-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)- 2,2,2-trichloroacetamide, 2,4,6-Cl3C6H2NH-CO-CCl3. TMPA, TMPMA and TMPDCA have one molecule each in their asymmetric units, while TMPDMA has two molecules in its asymmetric unit. Changes in the mean ring distances are smaller on substitution as the effect has to be transmitted through the peptide linkage. The comparison of the other bond parameters reveal that there are significant changes in them on substitution.
