AbstractThe crystal structure of mercury(II)chromate hemihydrate, HgCrOThe mercury atom is bonded only to two oxygen atoms, each belonging to a separate Chromate tetrahedron, at the distances 2.055(2) and 2.064(2) Å, the angle O–Hg–O being 179.95(5)°. As each Chromate group is bonded to two mercury atoms, fundamental building elements of the structure are endless chains of the composition (HgCrOIn the water molecule the distances O(W)–H (2 × ) and H–H are 0.945(4) and 1.487(6) Å respectively. The angle H–O(W)–H is 103.7(4)°. In the hydrogen bonds the distance O(W)–H…O between water and Chromate oxygen atoms is 2.961(2) Å with a distance H…O of 2.133(4) Å and an angle O(W)–H…O of 145.6(3)°.

A single-crystal neutron diffraction study of cyclodecaamylose (CA10) was carried out at 20 K. CA10 crystallizes with 27.18 water molecules [(C6H10O5)10·27.18H2O] in space group C2 with unit-cell constants a = 29.31 (5), b = 9.976 (10), c = 19.34 (2) Å, β = 121.07 (2)°. The asymmetric unit contains a half molecule of CA10 and 13.59 water molecules, the other half being related by a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. All H atoms except two water H atoms could be located from difference neutron-density maps; structure refinement converged at R = 0.635. Two of the five CH2—O6 groups and one of the 15 O2, O3 hydroxyl groups of CA10 are twofold orientationally disordered. A total of 13.59 water molecules in the asymmetric unit are distributed over 23 positions; 20 of which are in the CA10 cavity, and the other three occupy intermolecular interstices. Of the 123 symmetry-independent hydrogen bonds, 25 (= 20%) are three-centered and 7 (= 6%) are four-centered. Water molecules and O—H groups of CA10 form an extended network with cooperative O—H...O—H...O—H hydrogen bonds. They are arranged in 11 polygons with three, four, five, six and eight O—H bonds and in homodromic, antidromic and heterodromic arrangements. Nine polygons are located within the cavity and the others are outside.
