Single crystals of rubidium tetrafluoridobromate(III), RbBrF4, were grown by melting and recrystallizing RbBrF4 from its melt. This is the first determination of the crystal structure of RbBrF4 using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. We confirmed that the structure contains square-planar [BrF4]− anions and rubidium cations that are coordinated by F atoms in a square-antiprismatic manner. The compound crystallizes in the KBrF4 structure type. Atomic coordinates and bond lengths and angles were determined with higher precision than in a previous report based on powder X-ray diffraction data [Ivlev et al. (2015). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 641, 2593–2598].

Pirquitasite, ideally Ag2ZnSnS4(disilver zinc tin tetrasulfide), exhibits tetragonal symmetry and is a member of the stannite group that has the general formulaA2BCX4, withA= Ag, Cu;B= Zn, Cd, Fe, Cu, Hg;C= Sn, Ge, Sb, As; andX= S, Se. In this study, single-crystal X-ray diffraction data are used to determine the structure of pirquitasite from a twinned crystal from the type locality, the Pirquitas deposit, Jujuy Province, Argentina, with anisotropic displacement parameters for all atoms, and a measured composition of (Ag1.87Cu0.13)(Zn0.61Fe0.36Cd0.03)SnS4. One Ag atom is located on Wyckoff site Wyckoff 2a(symmetry -4..), the other Ag atom is statistically disordered with minor amounts of Cu and is located on 2c(-4..), the (Zn, Fe, Cd) site on 2d(-4..), Sn on 2b(-4..), and S on general site 8g. This is the first determination of the crystal structure of pirquitasite, and our data indicate that the space group of pirquitasite isI-4, rather thanI-42mas previously suggested. The structure was refined under consideration of twinning by inversion [twin ratio of the components 0.91 (6):0.09 (6)].

AbstractWe have measured single crystal X-ray diffraction data of InS at ambient pressure and under hydrostatic pressures up to 4.3 GPa. The redetermination of the crystal structure at ambient conditions shows no major deviations from previous results. Determination of lattice parameters at various pressures confirms an extraordinary large compressibility for the

The crystal structure of γ-TeO2was redetermined on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The previous structure determination of this modification was based on laboratory powder X-ray diffraction data [Champarnaud-Mesjardet al.(2000).J. Phys. Chem. Solids,61, 1499–1507]. The current redetermination revealed all atoms with anisotropic displacement parameters, accompanied with a much higher accuracy and precision in terms of bond lengths and angles, and the determination of the absolute structure. The crystal structure consists of TeO4bisphenoids that combine through corner-sharing of all their oxygen atoms into a three-dimensional framework.

The crystal structure of LiMoP2O7 was determined from conventional powder X-ray diffraction at room temperature in the presence of MoP2O7, MoO2 and Mo as impurities. Pattern decomposition was employed to eliminate complex contaminants prior to the Rietveld structure refinement. LiMoP2O7 crystallizes in the space group P21 with Z = 2, a = 4.8987 (3), b = 8.3912 (4), c = 7.0306 (4) Å, β = 109.327 (4)°, V = 272.71 Å3. Final agreement indicators were Rp = 0.0589, Rwp = 0.0772, RF = 0.054 and RI = 0.080. The framework of the structure consists of corner-sharing MoO6 octahedra and P2O7 groups, which form tunnels where the Li cations are located. The results give an example of analyzing a structure from a tetraphasic mixture using pattern decomposition in conjunction with the Rietveld refinement method.

AbstractThe mixed cation triel borate Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 was synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus at high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 12.5 GPa and 1300°C. Although the product could not be reproduced in further experiments, its crystal structure could be reliably determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41/a (origin choice 2) with the lattice parameters a = 11.382(2), c = 15.244(2) Å, and V = 1974.9(4) Å3. The structure of the quaternary triel borate consists of a complex network of BO4 tetrahedra, edge-sharing InO6 octahedra in dinuclear units, and very dense edge-sharing GaO6 octahedra in tetranuclear units.
