The crystal structure of the yellow pigment 2,5-dihydroxybenzo[de]benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-a]isoquinolin-7-one (C18H10N2O3) was determined from powder data. The crystal structure was solved by minimizing the intermolecular energy starting from random packings. Subsequently, the structure was refined by rigid-body Rietveld analysis, using synchrotron powder data. The refinement included several intramolecular degrees of freedom. The compound crystallizes inPna21,Z\,=\,4, with lattice parametersa\,=\,13.2759 (3),b\,=\,20.9561 (5),c\,=\,4.7798 (1) Å, andV\,=\,1329.79 (5) Å3. The crystal consists of planar molecules, connected by hydrogen bonds of the types O–H...OH and O–H...N, which form a three-dimensional hydrogen-bond network.

The title compound, ammonium catena-[monoboro-monodihydrogendiborate-monohydrogenphosphate] hemihydrate, was obtained under solvothermal conditions using glycol as the solvent. The crystal structure is constructed of one-dimensional infinite borophosphate chains, which are interconnected by ammonium ions and water molecules via a complex hydrogen-bond network to form a three-dimensional structure. The water molecules of crystallization are disordered over inversion centres, and their H atoms were not located.

The crystal structure of rilpivirine has been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. Rilpivirine crystallizes in space group P21/c (#14) with a = 8.39049(3), b = 13.89687(4), c = 16.03960(6) Å, β = 90.9344(3)°, V = 1869.995(11) Å3, and Z = 4. The most prominent features of the structure are N–H···N hydrogen bonds. These form a R2,2(8) pattern which, along with C1,1(12) and longer chains, yield a three-dimensional hydrogen bond network. The powder pattern has been submitted to International Centre for Diffraction Data, ICDD, for inclusion in future releases of the Powder Diffraction File™.

Rubidium dicalcium triniobate(V), RbCa2Nb3O10, has been synthesized by solid-state reaction and its crystal structure refined from X-ray powder diffraction data using Rietveld analysis. The compound is a three-layer perovskite Dion–Jacobson phase with the perovskite-like slabs derived by termination of the three-dimensional CaNbO3perovskite structure along theabplane. The rubidium ions (4/mmmsymmetry) are located in the interstitial space.

The structure of the title compound, [Zn(C14H18N4)(C2H3N)(H2O)](ClO4)2, contains a six-coordinate cation consisting of the tetradentate bispicen ligand, coordinated water, and coordinated acetonitrile, with the latter two ligands adopting acisconfiguration. There are two formula units in the asymmetric unit. Both cations show almost identical structural features with the bispicen ligand adopting the more commoncis-β conformation. One of the four perchlorate anions is disordered over two positions, with occupancies of 0.9090 (15) and 0.0910 (15). There is extensive inter-ionic hydrogen bonding between the perchlorate anions and O—H and N—H groups in the cations, including a bifurcated hydrogen bond between an N—H group and two O atoms of one perchlorate anion. As a result of this extended hydrogen-bond network, the ions are linked into a complex three-dimensional array.

The crystal structure of cobalt(II) acetate tetrahydrate, Co(C2H3O2)·4H2O, has been refined using single-crystal, laboratory powder, and synchrotron powder diffraction data, both individually and in various combinations. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c, with a=4.80688(3), b=11.92012(7), c=8.45992(5) Å, β=94.3416(4)° at 27 °C, and Z=2. The crystal structure consists of discrete centrosymmetric trans-Co(C2H3O2)(H2O)4 complexes, linked by a three-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds. Each complex participates in 14 hydrogen bonds, 12 intermolecular, and 2 intramolecular. Compared to the single-crystal refinement, refinement of laboratory powder data yielded an average difference in bond distances of 0.02 Å, in bond angles of 3°, and in root mean square atomic displacements of 0.07 Å. The standard uncertainties of the bond distances were 0.01 Å, compared to the 0.001–0.002 Å in the single-crystal refinement. Refinement of the synchrotron powder data yielded improved accuracy and precision. It proved impossible to locate or refine hydrogen positions using a single-powder dataset, but the hydrogens could be refined using rigid groups in a joint refinement of the two powder datasets. Even from powder refinements, it is possible to obtain suitable accuracy and precision to distinguish C–O and C=O bonds, and to examine details of chemical bonding.

Abstract The uniqueness of water originates from its three-dimensional hydrogen-bond network, but this hydrogen-bond network is suddenly truncated at the interface and non-hydrogen-bonded OH (free OH) appears. Although this free OH is the most characteristic feature of interfacial water, the molecular-level understanding of its dynamic property is still limited due to the technical difficulty. We study ultrafast vibrational relaxation dynamics of the free OH at the air/water interface using time-resolved heterodyne-detected vibrational sum frequency generation (TR-HD-VSFG) spectroscopy. With the use of singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis, the vibrational relaxation (T1) times of the free OH at the neat H2O and isotopically-diluted water interfaces are determined to be 0.87 ± 0.06 ps (neat H2O), 0.84 ± 0.09 ps (H2O/HOD/D2O = 1/2/1), and 0.88 ± 0.16 ps (H2O/HOD/D2O = 1/8/16). The absence of the isotope effect on the T1 time indicates that the main mechanism of the vibrational relaxation of the free OH is reorientation of the topmost water molecules. The determined sub-picosecond T1 time also suggests that the free OH reorients diffusively without the switching of the hydrogen-bond partner by the topmost water molecule.
