[Co(NH3)4(H2O)2]OH . [Co(ohb-(S)-Leu)2] . 2 H2O (ohb, o-hydroxybenzyl) was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction which shows that both ligands in the [Co(ohb-(S)-Leu)2]- anion assume facial coordination mode with all donor atoms trans to each other, proposed on the basis of UV-VIS and 13C NMR spectroscopy, with R,S configuration of secondary N atoms. Compound crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41 with unit cell dimensions a = 22.173(7), c = 13.270(2) Å, V = 6 524 Å3, Z = 4. Structural data show that both ligands are not equivalent. Bond angles and bond lengths depend on whether secondary N atoms adopt R or S configuration. The average bond lengths are shorter when the ohb-(S)-Leu ligand coordinates with (N)R configuration.

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.

The enzyme catalase (H2O2–H2O2 oxidoreductase; E.C. 11.1.6) was purified from haemolysate of human placenta and crystallized using the vapour-diffusion technique. Synchrotron-radiation diffraction data have been collected to 1.76 Å resolution. The enzyme crystallized in the space group P212121, with unit-cell dimensions a = 83.6, b = 139.4, c = 227.5 Å. A molecular-replacement solution of the structure has been obtained using beef liver catalase (PDB code 4blc) as a search model.

AbstractSingle crystals of the hydrous cadmium borate Cd6B22O39·H2O were obtained through a high-pressure/high-temperature experiment at 4.7 GPa and 1000 °C using a Walker-type multianvil apparatus. CdO and partially hydrolyzed B2O3 were used as starting materials. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study has revealed that the structure of Cd6B22O39·H2O is similar to that of the type M6B22O39·H2O (M=Fe, Co). Layers of corner-sharing BO4 groups are interconnected by BO3 groups to form channels containing the metal cations, which are six- and eight-fold coordinated by oxygen atoms. The compound crystallizes in the space group Pnma (no. 62) [R1=0.0379, wR2=0.0552 (all data)] with the unit cell dimensions a=1837.79(5), b=777.92(2), c=819.08(3) pm, and V=1171.00(6) Å3. The IR and Raman spectra reflect the structural characteristics of Cd6B22O39·H2O.

AbstractA series of five synthetic tetrahedrite-group minerals has been prepared and examined using powder X-ray diffraction in order to update current powder data and provide a validation test of cell dimension prediction equations. The tetrahedrites (nominally (Cu10X2)Sb4S13 with X = Zn, Cd, Mn, Hg and Fe) have the following properties: zincian tetrahedrite, a = 10.3833 (1) Å, Dx = 4.974 (1) g/cm3, F30 = 264 (0.004, 31), M20 = 279; cadmian tetrahedrite, a = 10.5066 (1) Å, Dx = 5.073 (1) g/cm3, F30 = 208 (0.004, 37), M20 = 249; manganoan tetrahedrite, a = 10.4384 (1) Å, Dx = 4.822 (1) g/cm3, F30 = 274 (0.003, 33), M20 = 302; mercurian tetrahedrite, a = 10.5071 (1) Å, Dx = 5.570 (1) g/cm3, F30 = 150 (0.006, 35), M20 = 156; ferroan tetrahedrite, a = 10.3630 (1) Å, Dx = 5.002 (1) g/cm3, F30 = 253 (0.004, 33), M20 = 281. The experimental unit cell dimensions obtained in this study are in excellent agreement with calculated values produced using regression equations developed previously.

An orthorhombic cell was found with space group C2mm, a = 17.3795(5), b = 5.9419(2) and c = 7.2306(2) Å, Z = 2 for the Ca4Bi6O13compound.

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.

The characterization of two MoVI complexes, cis -[MoO2(2-pymS)2] and cis -[MoO2(2-pyS)2] (where 2-pymSH is pyrimidine-2-thiol and 2-pySH is pyridine-2-thiol), and their reaction with Ph3P are reported. The X-ray structure of cis -[MoO2(2-pymS)2] shows the molybdenum atom to exist in a distorted octahedral geometry defined by two mutually cis oxygen atoms and two chelating 2-pymS ligands so that the two sulfur atoms occupy approximate trans positions. Crystals of cis -[MoO2(2-pymS)2] are monoclinic, space group P 21/n, with unit cell dimensions: a 9.301(3), b 12.121(2), c 11.303(3) �, β 112.62(3)�, V 1176.3 �3, Z 4. The structure was refined by a full-matrix least-squares procedure to R 0.067 for 1858 reflections with I ≥ 2.5 (I).

Variable-temperature high-resolution capillary-mode powder X-ray diffraction is used to assess changes in unit-cell dimensions as a function of temperature over the range 188–328 K. No evidence was found for any polymorphic transformations over this temperature range and thermal expansion coefficients for urea were found to be αa= (5.27 ± 0.26) × 10−5 K−1and αc= (1.14 ± 0.057) × 10−5 K−1.
