Bis(ethyldiazoacetate) mercury(II) is orthorhombic with the following unit cell data at 20 °C: Fdd2, a = 19.810(8), b = 14.387(5), c = 9.015(2) Å, V = 2569.3 Å3, ρ0 = 2.17(2), ρc = 2.21, Z = 8 ([Formula: see text]λ = 0.70930 Å). The structure was solved by heavy atom methods and refined to R = 2.2% for 706 reflections. The molecule has a 2-fold axis of symmetry and all thermal parameters are large in the direction of this axis; diffuse scattering was observed in the rotation photograph taken about this axis. As expected the diazoacetate portion is planar.

1,1,3,3-Tetracyanopropane, 1, was prepared in low yields by a literature method with 2,2,4,4,6-pentacyanocyclohexenamine, 2, as a major by-product. The products were examined by X-ray crystallography. 1 has an orthorhombic space group, Pbcn (No. 60) with cell dimensions, a = 7.158(2), b = 10.510(3), c = 9.733(2) Å and has four formula units in the unit cell. 2 has a monoclinic cell, P21/c (No. 14) with cell dimensions a = 14.368(3), b = 6.626(1), c = 12.300(2) Å, β = 115.60(1)° and has 4 formula units in the unit cell. Data were collected with use of MoKα radiation and a Nicolet P3 diffractometer. The crystal structures were determined by standard methods and refined to Rw = 0.037 (1) and Rw = 0.040 (2) on the basis of 782 and 2108 unique reflections. Bond lengths and angles in the two compounds are normal. 2 has what has been considered to be the less likely tautomeric structure. Both compounds were examined by 1H, 13C nmr, vibrational spectroscopy, and mass spectroscopy. For 2 there was no evidence of the alternative tautomeric structure. New methods were developed for the preparation of both compounds and the mechanism of the original reaction rationalized.

AbstractDemicheleite-(I), ideally BiSI, is the iodine-dominant analogue of demicheleite-(Br) and demicheleite-(Cl). It was found in an active medium-temperature intracrateric fumarole at La Fossa crater, Vulcano Island, Aeolian archipelago, Sicily, Italy. The mineral is the first bismuth sulphoiodide so far discovered in a wholly natural environment, and corresponds to the already known synthetic compound. It occurs as acicular to stout, translucent crystals up to 0.25 mm long in an altered pyroclastic breccia, together with demicheleite-(Br), bismoclite, bismuthinite, godovikovite, panichiite, aiolosite, brontesite, adranosite and other new phases under study. The colour is dark red to black, the lustre submetallic. The unit cell is orthorhombic, space group Pnam, with a = 8.4501(7) Å, b = 10.1470(9) Å , c = 4.1389(4) Å , V = 354.88(4) Å3, and Z = 4. The crystal habit is prismatic, with the main forms {110} and {111} inferred from analogy with demicheleite-(Br). Twinning was not observed. The strongest 6 lines in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern [dobs.(Å) (I/I0) (hkl)] are: 6.490 (100) (110); 4.346 (94) (120); 3.896 (90) (210); 2.709 (60) (310); 2.161 (38) (330); 3.243 (22) (220). The chemical analysis obtained by WDS electron microprobe gave: Bi 58.32, S 9.43, I 23.69, Br 5.66, Cl 1.01, totalling 98.11 wt.%, corresponding to an empirical formula (based on 3 a.p.f.u.) of: Bi0.97S1.03(I0.65Br0.25Cl0.10)Σ1.00. The unit-cell data are close to those of the synthetic compound, whose crystal structure is already known. The calculated density is 6.411 g cm–3.

AbstractThe compounds, BaR2Ti3O10: R = La, Pr, Nd and Sm; BaR2Ti4O12: R = La, Pr, Sm, Gd, Eu have been prepared by solid state reaction and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction. Unit cell data are summarised; lattice parameters and unit cell volumes increase approximately linearly with lanthanide ion size.

SummaryAn occurrence of aegirine in Middle Devonian lacustrine beds in Caithness is described. The mineral occurs as euhedral to subhedral prismatic crystals within a finely laminated siltstone. Microprobe analyses reveal a remarkably ‘pure’ composition consisting almost entirely of Na, Fe3+, Si, and O. X-ray diffractometry yielded the unit cell data: a 9·657 Å, b 8·800 Å, c 5·296 Å, and β 107·37°. Comparison with other natural aegirine compositions shows marked differences from those of igneous or metamorphic origin but a close similarity to a unique occurrence of authigenic aegirine in the lacustrine Green River Formation of Wyoming, U.S.A. Consideration of the nature of the Caithness occurrence, and comparison of the Devonian Orcadian basin with the Eocene Green River basin indicate similar geological environments. It is suggested that the mineral formed in hypersaline conditions in which sodium may have been derived from contemporaneous alkaline volcanism within the Orcadian basin.

Reaction of [n-Bu4N]2[Re4(CO)16] with AgBF4 in acetonitrile affords the compound [(CH3CN)3Re(CO)3][BF4]. The latter crystallizes in monoclinic space group P21/c with unit cell dimensions a = 11.021(5) Å, b = 11.136(5) Å, c = 12.980(6) Å, β = 96.906(25)°, and four molecules per unit cell. Data were collected by counter methods and the structure was refined using least-squares procedures to give R = 0.041. The rhenium cation is approximately octahedrally coordinated by six facially arranged ligands. The mean rhenium–nitrogen distance is 2.13 Å, and the mean rhenium–nitrogen–carbon angle in the coordinated acetonitrile is 174.7°.
