AbstractThis study presents the first crystal-structure determination of natural MgCO3·5H2O, mineral lansfordite, in comparison with previous structural works performed on synthetic analogues. A new prototype single-crystal X-ray diffractometer allowed us to measure an extremely small crystal (i.e. 0.020 mm × 0.010 mm × 0.005 mm) and refine anisotropically all non-hydrogen atoms in the structure and provide a robust hydrogen-bond arrangement. Our new data confirm that natural lansfordite can be stable for several months at room temperature, in contrast with previous works, which reported that such a mineral could be stable only below 10°C.

The term pseudo-symmetry means a spatial arrangement that feigns a symmetry without fulfilling it. In crystal structures pseudo-symmetry is a more common feature than often recognized. In case of small deviations a variety of phenomena results: polytypism and stacking faults, disorder and twinning, commensurate and incommensurate super-structures, phase transitions and unusual reflection conditions. Most of these effects complicate crystal structure determination considerably. A series of examples with focus on the new class of ternary bismuth subhalides illustrates the different crystallographic consequences of pseudo-symmetry in crystal structures.

Crystal structure determination on the mixed ligand complex [Ru(tpy)(L1)](ClO4)2 (tpy = 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine; L1 = 4′-(ferrocenylmethylaminomethylphenyl)terpyridine) shows the ferrocenyl group to be located as remotely as possible from the RuII centre. This may explain the fact that emission from the RuII centre is detectable even at room temperature in solution.

The title compound, C20H18O3, was prepared in a one-step synthesis by intramolecular cyclization following the sigmatropic rearrangement of the allyl aryl ether intermediate. The room-temperature crystal structure determination reveals acisconformation of the ring annellation.

The synthesis and room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the title compound are recorded. Crystals are monoclinic, P 21/c, a 14.43(2), b 18.39(1), c 23.64(3) Ǻ, β 123.16(7)°, Z = 4, isostructural with the recently described Fe3Ru5 analogue; R was 0.048 for 6892 'observed' data [I > 3σ(I)]. The cluster is one of the few containing separated carbide ligands within a polyhedral metal skeleton, consisting of an Ru5C square pyramid and an Ru6C octahedron sharing a triangular face, with two PPh2 groups bridging opposite Ru-Ru vectors in each polyhedron.

A crystal structure determination has shown that the ethyl groups in the three isostructural (P63mc, Z = 2) triethylammonium halides, Et3NHX (X = Cl, Br, I), at room temperature are orientationally disordered and the [Formula: see text] groups are linear by symmetry. The unusual extent and complexity of the NH and ND stretching absorptions in the ir spectra of all three compounds between 10 and 293 K are discussed in terms of Fermi resonance interactions. The centroid ν(NH) and ν(ND) frequencies extracted from the spectra correlate with the [Formula: see text] distances. It is shown that if Fermi resonance is the sole cause of the complexity of the stretching absorptions, then these centroids represent the ν(NH) and ν(ND) frequencies unperturbed by Fermi resonance. The centroid frequencies in the three halides are unusually low, pointing to strong [Formula: see text] hydrogen bonding.

Abstract The bromosilanes RMe2SiBr (R = Me, Et, n-Pr and i-Pr) form ionic 1:1-compounds with N-trimethylsilylimidazole (NTMSI), stable at room temperature. Crystals of the compounds with R = Et, n-Pr and i-Pr are obtained by sublimation. From the product of the reaction of 1,1-dibromosilacyclopentane with NTMSI single crystals of N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)imidazolium-bromide (R = Me) were obtained. In the new adducts both silicon atoms are tetracoordinated.
