The crystal structure of the R 2SnS5 (R = Pr, Nd, Gd and Tb) compounds has been investigated using X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Crystal architecture and structural relationships among U3S5, Y2HfS5, R 2SnS5 compounds are discussed and a structural origin is determined. It is shown that the complex architecture of the crystal structure of Eu5Sn3S12 is a result of interweaving of the simple crystal structures. The location of the copper ions in the non-stoichiometric compound Y2Cu0.20Sn0.95S5 is proposed on the basis of comparative analysis of the R—S interatomic distances in the R 2SnS5 series of compounds.

The title complex was isolated as a red solid from the reaction of 4-(salicylaldiminato)antipyrine, HL, and cobalt (II) acetate in ethanol. The complex has been characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, UV-Vis, and X-ray single crystal diffraction. Two crystallographically different cationic units, A and B, of the title complex are found. Both units are essentially isostructural; nevertheless, small differences exist between them. Both units contain four cobalt atoms arranged at the corners of distorted cubane-like core alternatively with phenoxy oxygen of the Schiff base. In both cases, one cobalt binds to three coordinated sites from the corresponding tridentate Schiff base ligand, and the fourth one was bonded by the acetate oxygen, and the fifth and the sixth donor sites come from the phenolate oxygen of another Schiff base ligand.

The crystal structure of the transition metal-rich orthophosphate mineral arrojadite was reexamined, and the disorder phenomena were analyzed applying modern X-ray single-crystal diffraction and refinement methods on samples from Nickel Plate (USA) and Hagendorf (Germany). As a new feature of the arrojadite structure, two different types of channels oriented along [010] are described. The occupancy of the atomic positions inside these channels have been elucidated.

The new ternary silicide Dy3Ni11.83(1)Si3.98(1)was synthesized from the elements by arc-melting and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The compound crystallizes in a Sc3Ni11Ge4-type structure: Pearson symbolhP38, space groupP63/mmc(No. 194),a= 8.1990(7),c= 8.6840(7) Å,Z= 2;R= 0.0222, wR= 0.0284 for 365 reflections. The structure belongs to a large family of structures related to the EuMg5.2type, with representatives among ternary aluminides, silicides, germanides,etc.

Monophasic La6C2Br9 was prepared by heating a mixture of LaBr3, lanthanum metal and carbon in a molar ratio of 3 : 3 : 2 at 840 °C for 5 d. The crystal structure was investigated by X-ray single crystal diffraction (space group C2/c, a = 14.234(3), b = 10.858(2), c = 14.588(3) Å , β = 106.80(3) °). In the structure the La atoms form edge-sharing double tetrahedra. The La tetrahedra are centered by single carbon atoms. The yellow crystals of La6C2Br9 are transparent and electrically insulating.

When processing single crystal X-ray diffraction datasets for twins of Al2Cu sample synthesized by the high-pressure sintering (HPS) method, we have clarified why the crystal structure of Al2Cu was incorrectly solved about a century ago. The structural relationships between all existing Al2Cu phases, including the Owen-, θ-, θ’-, and Ω-Al2Cu phases, were investigated and established based on a proposed pseudo Al2Cu phase. Two potential phases have been built up by adjusting the packing sequences of A/B layers of Al atoms that were inherent in all existing Al2Cu phases. The mechanical, thermal, and dynamical stability of two such novel phases and their electronic properties were investigated by first-principles calculations.

A novel ligand containing sulfonic has been synthesized using 2-formylbenzenesulfonic sodium and 3-thiosemicarbazide as starting materials, and a Er (III) complex was synthesized. The ligand was characterized by element analysis and IR spectrum. The crystal structure of the Er (III) complex was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The results showed that the compound was triclinic, with P-1, a = 1.0596(4) nm, b = 1.3700(5) nm, c = 1.8305(7) nm, V = 2.4726(16) nm3, Z=2, M r= 1244.42, De =1.671 g/cm3, T = 273(2) K, F (000) = 1270, R = 0.0517 and wR = 0.1124. The complex forms two-dimensional layered structure through hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking.

SummaryThe Ceylonese gemstone sinhalite, AlMgBO4, is isomorphous with olivine and chrysoberyl. Aluminium and magnesium are oetahedrally coordinated and boron occupies slightly distorted tetrahedra. Because of size differences, the smaller Al ion can be assigned to the inversion symmetry sites, with Mg in mirror plane positions. Least-squares refinement based on single crystal X-ray data gave an accurate set of atomic coordinates with mean interatomic distances: Al-O 1·90, Mg-O 2·10, B-O 1·49 Å.

The title compound was prepared from the elements by arc-melting followed by annealing in silica tubes at 1270 K for one week. The crystal structure was investigated by means of X-ray single crystal diffraction: space group P4/mbm, a = 5.366(1), c = 3.690(1) Å , Z = 2, R1 = 0.010, wR2 = 0.022 for 245 unique reflections with Io > 2σ (Io) and 12 refined parameters. Group-subgroup relationships of MB6 and MB2C2 structure models are discussed
