The ternary cobalt germanium pnictide systems CoGexPn1-x (Pn = P, As, Sb; 0 <x <1) were investigated. The ternary phosphides CoGexP1-x and arsenides CoGexAs1-x adopt the MnP structure (Pnma) in the range 0 <x <0.8, with Ge and Pn (Pn = P, As) disordering over the anion sites. Reactions in the antimonide system CoGexSb1-x result in a mixture of ternary phases, one with the NiAs structure (P63/mmm) in which Ge and Sb disorder over the anion sites, and another that is a new intermetallic compound, Co3Ge2Sb. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that Co3Ge2Sb crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P6/mmm with a = 8.9128(13) Å, c = 7.6312(8) Å, and Z = 6 (T = 22°C). The structure of Co3Ge2Sb comprises alternating kagomé nets of Co atoms and 63 nets of Ge atoms, with Sb2 pairs stuffed along the centres of the concentric hexagons of these nets. Co3Ge2Sb may be regarded as an intermediate structure that is distorted from the limiting CoSn and CaCu5 structures. Key words: cobalt, germanium, antimony, pnictide, crystal structure

AbstractThe crystal structure of the phase Ce5AgxGe4−x (x = 0.1−1.08) has been determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data for Ce5Ag0.1Ge3.9. This phase is isotypic with Sm5Ge4: space group Pnma (No. 62), Pearson code oP36, Z = 4, a = 7.9632(2), b = 15.2693(5), c = 8.0803(2) Å; R1 = 0.0261, wR2 = 0.0460, 1428 F2 values and 48 variables. The two crystallographic positions 8d and 4c show Ge/Ag mixing, leading to a slight increase in the lattice parameters as compared to those of the pure binary compound Ce5Ge4.

Abstractβ-Y(BO2)3 was synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil module at 5.9 GPa/1000°C. The crystal structure has been elucidated through single-crystal X-ray diffraction. β-Y(BO2)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma (no. 62) with the lattice parameters a=15.886(2), b=7.3860(6), and c=12.2119(9) Å. Its crystal structure will be discussed in the context of the isotypic lanthanide borates β-Ln(BO2)3 (Ln=Nd, Sm, Gd–Lu).

The new ternary silicide Lu3Ni11.74(2)Si4 was synthesized from the elements by arc-melting and its crystal structure was determined by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the Sc3Ni11Ge4-type: Pearson symbol hP37.2, space group P63/mmc (No. 194), a = 8.0985(16), c = 8.550(2) Å, Z = 2; R = 0.0244, wR = 0.0430 for 244 reflections. The silicide Lu3Ni11.74(2)Si4 is new member of the EuMg5.2-type structure family.

The crystal structure of [Cu(sac)2(nic)2(H2O)] (sac = saccharinate anion; nic = nicotinamide) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with Z = 4 and the Cu(II) ion presents a CuN4O square pyramidal coordination. Some comparisons with related structures are made and the most important features of its IR spectrum were also discussed.

AbstractA potassium tetranitratopalladate(II) with the composition K2[Pd(NO3)4] · 2HNO3 was synthesized by a simple solvothermal process in a glass ampoule. The new compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c (no. 14) with the lattice parameters a = 1017.15(4), b = 892.94(3), c = 880.55(3) Å, and β = 98.13(1)° (Z = 2). The crystal structure of K2[Pd(NO3)4] · 2HNO3 reveals isolated complex [Pd(NO3)4]2− anions, which are surrounded by eight potassium cations and four HNO3 molecules. The complex anions and the cations are associated in layers which are separated by HNO3 molecules. K2[Pd(NO3)4] · 2HNO3 can thus be regarded as a HNO3 intercalation variant of β-K2[Pd(NO3)4]. The characterization is based on single-crystal X-ray and powder X-ray diffraction.

The crystal structure of zerumbone, C15H22O, extracted from the rhizomes of Zingiber zerumbet Smith, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 295(1) K and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.051 for 925 'observed' reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, a 9.036(3), b 9.712(5), c 15.643(6) �, β 97.19(3)�, Z = 4. Although the molecule has no chiral centre, the presence of the three trans double bonds confers considerable distortion and rigidity on the eleven-membered ring and renders the whole molecule chiral and potentially resolvable.

Petzite, Ag3AuTe2, crystallizes in the space group I4132, which is a Sohncke type of space group where chiral crystal structures can occur. The structure refinement of petzite reported long ago [Frueh (1959). Am. Mineral. 44, 693–701] did not provide any information about the absolute structure. A new single-crystal X-ray diffraction refinement has now been performed on a sample from Lake View Mine, Golden Mile, Kalgoorlie, Australia, which has resulted in a reliable absolute structure [a Flack parameter of 0.05 (3)], although this corresponds to the opposite enantiomorph reported previously. The minimum Te–Te distance is 3.767 (3) Å, slightly shorter than the van der Waals bonding distance, which suggests a weak interaction between the two chalcogens. XANES spectra near the Au and Te L III edges suggest that the chemical-bonding character of Au in petzite is more metallic than in other gold minerals.
