Cadmium pyrovanadate crystallizes in the C2/m space group with lattice parameters a = 7.088(5) Å, b = 9.091(5) Å, c = 4.963(5) Å, β = 103°21(5)′, and z = 2. This crystal is an isostructure of the mineral thortveitite and thus the anion consists of a pair of centrosymmetrically related corner-sharing VO4 tetrahedra while the cation resides within a distorted octahedron of oxygen atoms. The anion has a linear V—O—V group, but, as with the isostructural pyrophosphates, the central oxygen atom shows an anomalously high thermal activity. The V—O bond distances are 1.76 Å for the inner bond and 1.70 Å for the terminal bond. The bond angles about the anion and cation are similar to those found for the other analogues of thortveitite.

β-Zn3(PO4)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 21/c with lattice parameters, a = 9.393(3) Å, b = 9.170(6) Å, c = 8.686(3) Å, β = 125.73(10)°, and Z = 4. The three independent cations are strongly ligated to 4, 5, and 5 oxygen atoms, with average Zn—O bond distances of 1.98 ± 0.09 Å, 2.10 ± 0.10 Å, and 2.08 ± 0.13 Å respectively. In addition there are two longer Zn—O distances of 2.51 Å and 2.55 Å in this structure. The PO4 groups exist as independent, nearly regular tetrahedra, with each oxygen atom ligated to two cations. Unlike the structures found for the α and γ phases of Zn3(PO4)2, which contain ribbons and sheets respectively as the basic cation coordination motif, the structure of β-Zn3(PO4)2 contains interconnected sheets.

Single crystals of (Cu,Zn)3,75Mo3O12 have been prepared by crystallization from melts and investigated by X-ray diffractometer techniques. (Cu,Zn)3,75Mo3O12 crystallizes orthorhombically, space group D24-P212121, Z = 4, a = 17.947(9), b = 5.092(3), c = 10.685(5) Å. It is isotypic to Cu3,85Mo3O12. All molybdenum atoms are tetrahedrally coordinated by oxygen atoms. There are layers of CuO6 and ZnO6 octahedra, while other metal sites are occupied by copper in a deformed prismatic coordination with one oxygen atom at a remarkably greater distance from copper than the other five. Some of the zinc atoms occupy positions in chains of face-sharing octahedra with an occupancy factor of 0.75. The crystal structure is discussed with respect to the isotypic compound Cu3,85Mo3O12 and compounds of the type CuLnMo2O8.

The crystal structure of Mg2As2O7 has been refined by full matrix least squares procedures using 587 observed reflections. The structure of Mg2As2O7 is of the thortveitite type, as reported by Łukaszewicz, with space group C2/m and unit cell dimensions a = 6.567(2) Å, b = 8.524(4) Å, c = 4.739(1) Å, β = 103.8(1)°, and Z = 2. The As—O—As group in the anion appears to be linear but the central oxygen atom undergoes considerable disorder in the plane perpendicular to this group. The AsO bond distances uncorrected for thermal motion are 1.67 Å for the As—O(—As) bond and 1.66 and 1.65 Å for the terminal As—O bonds. The final R value obtained is 0.088.

β-Zn2P2O7 crystallizes in the C2/m space group with lattice parameters a = 6.61 ± 0.01 Å, b = 8.29 ± 0.01 Å, c = 4.51 ± 0.01 Å, β = 105.4° ± 0.2° and z = 2. The anion, P2O7−4, is centered with its mirror plane coinciding with the mirror plane of the space group. The central oxygen atom, however, shows high anisotropic thermal motion and thus it appears that the P—O—P bond angle is linear only as a result of thermal averaging. The cations are found on twofold axes in irregular sixfold coordination and these ZnO6 groups share three edges with neighboring cations. This cation coordination is, therefore, consistent with that predicted from the red emission of β-Zn2P2O7:Mn++.

The complexes Ln (But2pz)3( thf )2 ( Ln = Y, La, Pr, Nd , Sm, Gd, Dy , Er , Yb, Lu; But2pz- = 3,5-di-t-butylpyrazolate; thf = tetrahydrofuran ), and [ Ln (But2pz)3(OPPh3)2].( dme )n ( Ln = La, n = ⅔ ; Ln = Er , n = 1; dme = 1,2-dimethoxyethane) have been prepared by reaction of the lanthanoid metal with bis ( pentafluorophenyl )mercury and the corresponding pyrazole in either thf , or in dme in the presence of triphenylphosphine oxide. The X-ray crystal structure of Er (η2-But2pz)3( thf )2 [monoclinic, space group P21 (No. 4), a 9.738(4), b 19.602(4), c 11.636(4) Ǻ, β 99.42(3)°, R 0.0374 for 3667 observed reflections] shows the complex to be an eight-coordinate monomer with three chelating But2pz ligands . The arrangement of centres ( Cen ) of the N-N bonds of the But2pz ligands [< Er -N> 2.336 Ǻ; Cen-Er-Cen 140.1(4)°, 110.3(4)° and 109.6(4)°] and the thf oxygen atoms [< Er -O> 2.351 Ǻ; O- Er -O 140.1(4)°] is intermediate between trigonal bipyramidal and square pyramidal. The other Ln (But2pz)3( thf )2 complexes and Ln (But2pz)3(OPPh3)2 are considered to have similar structures.

AbsractThe crystal structure of vlodavetsite, AlCa2(SO4)2F2Cl·4H2O, has been determined, space group I4/m, a = 6.870(1), c = 13.342(2) Å, Z = 2, Dx = 2.35 g/cm3. The polyhedron cation chains are parallel to [001] and consist of couples of distorted Ca octahedra alternating with one distorted Al octahedron rotated through 24° with respect to the former. The chains are linked by SO4-tetrahedra so that all of the four tetrahedron oxygen atoms take part in coordination of Ca atoms to form a distorted octahedron with Cl and F atoms. The Al coordination polyhedron consists of two F atoms and four oxygen atoms belonging to water molecules. There is a specific interaction via hydrogen bonds between oxygen atoms of SO4-tetrahedra and water molecules.

Crystals of CaK2As2O7 and CdK2P2O7, both grown from the melt, are monoclinic with Z = 4. The lattice parameters are a = 9.222(6), b = 5.835(3), c = 14.698(10) Å, β = 105.84(5)° with space group P21/c for the diarsenate and a = 9.737(2), b = 5.548(1), c = 12.766(2) Å, β = 106.50(2)° with space group C2/c for the diphosphate. The structures were refined by full-matrix least-squares methods utilizing 2070 reflections (R = 0.056) for the diarsenate and 1145 reflections (R = 0.067) for the diphosphate. Both structures contain pseudo-hexagonally packed anions, in staggered configurations, forming layers with the divalent cations in six coordinate sites between the layers. The average M—O bond lengths are 2.342 and 2.290 Å for M = Ca and Cd respectively. The K ion has nine oxygen atoms with mean K—O bond lengths of 2.943 and 3.020 Å in the diarsenate in the coordination sphere. The mean of the ten shortest K—O is 2.939 Å in the diphosphate.

Cu3(AsO4)2 forms a monoclinic crystal with lattice parameters a = 6.327(5) Å, b = 8.642(5) Å, c = 11.313(5) Å, β = 92.04(4)°, and Z = 4. The space group is P21/c. The two orthoarsenate anions in the unit cell have average AsO bond lengths of 1.68 Å and 1.70 Å with mean deviations of 0.02 Å and 0.01 Å respectively. The three cations are fivefold coordinated to oxygen atoms with mean cation oxygen atom bond lengths of 2.005 Å, 2.053 Å, and 2.017 Å for the three independent cations. The range of bond distances extends from 1.892 Å to 2.362 Å. Only one additional cation oxygen distance of less than 3 Å occurs and this lies at 2.76 Å. The cation polyhedra form sheets parallel to the ab plane by corner and edge sharing of common oxygen atoms. Adjacent sheets are bonded through the long Cu—O bond distance cited above and by the AsO43− anions. Each of the arsenic atoms shares three oxygen atoms with one sheet and one with the adjacent one.

α-Zn3(PO4)2 crystallized in the monoclinic space group C2/c with lattice parameters a = 8.14 ± 0.02 Å, b = 5.63 ± 0.01 Å, c = 15.04 ± 0.04 Å, β = 105°08′ ± 05′, and Z = 4. The cations are found in two types of tetrahedrally coordinated sites. One-third of the cations lie on twofold axes within an oxygen tetrahedron. The remaining cations are found in a pair of edge-sharing oxygen atom tetrahedra. The green emission of Mn++ in α-Zn3(PO4)2 is consistent with Mn++ substituting for Zn++ in either tetrahedral site.
