The crystal structure of cyclopropylamine at 1.2 GPa has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The structure of this phase is orthorhombic, space group Pbca and the unit-cell dimensions are a =  5.0741 (10), b  =  9.7594 (10) and c  =  13.305 (2) Å. Only one of the two H atoms of the amino group actively participates in the formation of the hydrogen-bonded chains, C(2) in graph-set notation, which lie parallel to the crystallographic a axis. Additionally, the topology of the crystal packing is studied using both Voronoi–Dirichlet polyhedra and Hirshfeld surface analyses for the low-temperature and the high-pressure structures of cyclopropylamine and the results are compared.

1,3-Diisobutyl thiourea was synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It gives a monoclinic (α=γ= 90 andβ  ≠90) structure with the space group P21/c. The unit cell dimensions area= 11.5131 (4) Å,b= 9.2355 (3) Å,c= 11.3093 (5) Å,α= 90°,β= 99.569° (2),γ= 90°,V= 1185.78 (8) Å3, andZ= 4. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular (N–H⋯S) hydrogen bonding in the molecules. The optimized geometry and Mullikan's charges of the said molecule calculated with the help of DFT using B3LYP-6-311G model support the crystal structure.

Single crystals of [N(CH3)4]HF2 were obtained as a by-product during the recrystallization of [N(CH3)4]ClF4 from CH3CN solution. X-ray diffraction data show that [N(CH3)4]HF2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pmn21 with Z = 2 and unit cell dimensions a = 6.611(5), b = 8.753(5), and c = 5.386(4) Å. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least squares to a final R = 0.055 by using 205 independent reflections. The HF2− anions are symmetric, exhibit an unusually short [Formula: see text] distance of 2.213(4) Å, and vibrational frequencies close to those of the free HF2− anion. Keywords: tetramethylammonium bifluoride, crystal structure, Raman spectrum.

The crystal structure of the rare supergene Pb2+-containing uranyl-oxide mineral wölsendorfite has been revisited employing the single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The new structure refinement provided deeper insight into the complex structure of this mineral, revealing additional H2O sites in the interlayer complex and confirming the entrance of the Ca2+ into the structure. Studied wölsendorfite is orthorhombic, space group Cmcm, with unit cell dimensions a = 14.1233(8) Å, b = 13.8196(9) Å, c = 55.7953(12) Å, V = 10890.0(10) Å3, and Z = 8. The structure has been refined to an agreement index (R) of 10.74% for 3815 reflections with I > 3σ(I) collected using a microfocus X-ray source from the microcrystal. In line with the previous structure determination, the refined structure contains U–O–OH sheets of the wölsendorfite topology and an interstitial complex comprising nine symmetrically unique Pb sites, occupied dominantly by Pb2+. Nevertheless, one of the sites seems to be plausible for hosting Ca2+. Its presence has been successfully modeled by the refinement and further supported by the crystal-chemical considerations. The structural formula of wölsendorfite crystal studied is Pb6.07Ca0.68[(UO2)14O18(OH)5]O0.5(H2O)12.6, with Z = 8, Dcalc. = 6.919 g·cm–3 (including theoretical 30.2 H atoms). The rather complex structure of wölsendorfite makes it the third most complex known uranyl-oxide hydroxy-hydrate mineral.

The crystal structure of natural diterpenoid alkaloid ranaconitine isolated from Aconitum sinomontanum Nakai has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal presents a monoclinic system, space group C2 with Z = 4, unit cell dimensions a = 30.972(19) Å, b = 7.688(5) Å, and c = 19.632(12) Å. Moreover, the intermolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds and weak π-π interactions play a critical role in expanding the dimensionality.

3,5-Diphenyl-1,2-dithiolium-4-olate (1) reacts with aniline to form 1-phenylimino-2-phenylamino-3-phenylindene (3a). Under suitable conditions, 6-phenylbenzo[b]indeno[1,2-e]-1,2-thiazine is also formed. These structures are confirmed by alternative syntheses. The molecular structure of 3a has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 3a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with unit cell dimensions a = 20.777(3) Å, b = 6.130(3) Å, c = 31.327(3) Å, 3 = 99.59(1)°, and Z = 8. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least squares to a final R = 0.055. The molecular structure of 3a shows the three phenyl containing substituents to have the planes of their ring systems tilted between 40° and 60° from the plane of the indene system due to steric repulsions.

The crystal structure of OsPt2(μ-CO)3(CO)2(PPh3)3 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Crystals are triclinic, space group Pī with unit cell dimensions a 13.593(4), b 15.839(4), c 12.633(8) Ǻ, α 102.97(3), β 108.18(2), γ 84.86(3)° with Z2. The structure was refined by a full-matrix least-squares procedure on 5896 reflections [I ≥ 2.5σ(I)] to final R 0.028 and Rw 0.034. A triphenylphosphine ligand binds each of the metal atoms disposed at the corners of a triangle. Each metal-metal bond is spanned by a bridging carbonyl group. The coordination about the osmium atom is completed by two terminal carbonyl groups.

Model compounds of the poly(oligomethylene thioterephthalates) have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction analyses. The pink n-methylenedithiobenzoates, obtained for n = 3, 5, 7, and 9, all have a low melting point of about 320–330 K. They all crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c. The a and b unit cell dimensions vary little while the c dimension increases monotonically as n changes from 3 to 9. The crystal structure of the four compounds were established from low-temperature X-ray intensities. Except for the lengthening of the methylenic sequence, the four molecules studied here are isostructural. One of the thiobenzoate groups of the molecules is coplanar with all the methylenic carbons, while the other thiobenzoate group is at 90° from the above plane of atoms. The methylenic sequence has the same conformation. It may be described by g+(t)n, where n is the number of methylene groups. Thus, the four compounds belong to a crystallographically homologous series. The molecules form centrosymmetric "dimers," which, in turn, are herring-bone packed in their respective unit cells. In each "dimmer" two aromatic rings are across from one another while being mutually perpendicular. On the basis of the above results, one proposes three potentially acceptable structures for the parent poly(oligomethylene thioterephthalates). Keywords: dithiobenzoate, methylene sequence, crystal structure, poly(oligomethylene thioterephthalate).

A new Nasicon phosphates series [Na3+xCr2−xCox(PO4)3(0⩽x⩽1)] was synthesized by a coprecipitation method and structurally characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The selected compound Na3.5Cr1.5Co0.5(PO4)3 (x=0.5) crystallizes in the R3c space group with the following hexagonal unit-cell dimensions: ah=8.7285(3) Å, ch=21.580(2) Å, V=1423.8(1) Å3, and Z=6. This three-dimensional framework is built of PO4 tetrahedra and Cr∕CoO6 octahedra sharing corners. Na atoms occupy totally M(1) sites and partially M(2) sites.

AbstractA synthetic analogue, Ca(Ti0.6Al0.2Ta0.16Nb0.04)OSiO4, of an aluminoan tantalian titanite previously described from Craveggia pegmatite (Piemonte, Italy) has been prepared by a ceramic synthesis technique and its crystal structure determined by Rietveld analysis of the powder X-ray diffraction pattern. The synthetic Al-Ta-Nb-rich titanite adopts space group A2/a implying that substitutions at the single octahedral site destroy the coherence of the off-centering of octahedral chains in the titanite structure resulting in a P21/a → A2/a phase transition. Unit-cell dimensions obtained for the Al-Ta-Nb-rich titanite are: a = 7.0649(1) Å; b = 8.7187(1) Å; c = 6.5701(1) Å; β = 113.755(1)°, V = 370.41(1) Å3. The extensive replacement of Ti by Al, Ta and Nb results in a considerable decrease in the distortion of all coordination polyhedra in the structure of this titanite. These structural data suggest that a solid solution CaTi1-x(Alx/2 [Ta,Nb]x/2)OSiO4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) adopting the titanite structure might exist.

UDP-galactopyranose mutase, the enzyme responsible for the conversion of UDP-galactopyranose to UDP-galactofuranose, has been crystallized in a form suitable for X-ray diffraction studies. UDP-galactofuranose is a key component of mycobacterial cell walls. Crystals of both the native protein and a selenomethionine variant have been grown by the vapour-diffusion method in hanging drops, and diffract to beyond 3.0 Å using synchrotron radiation. Equilibration was against a solution of 20%(w/v) polyethylene glycol (4K), 12%(v/v) 2-propanol, 0.1 M HEPES pH 7.6 at 293.5 K. Crystals grow as thin plates of dimensions 0.4 × 0.2 × ∼0.02 mm. They are orthorhombic, space group P21, with unit-cell dimensions a = 71.12, b = 58.42, c = 96.38 Å, β = 96.38°. 92% (native) and 94% (selenomethionine) complete data sets have been recorded to 2.9 Å (R merge = 5.0%) and 3.0 Å (R merge = 6.9%), respectively. The Matthews coefficient is 2.35 Å3 Da−1 for a dimer in the asymmetric unit, the solvent content being 47%. Diffraction data have also been recorded on a putative platinum derivative to 3.5 Å.
