AbstractThe previously unknown, complex crystal structures of two fibrous ferric iron phosphate minerals have been solved using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The structure of a slightly arsenatian kidwellite has been refined in space group P2/c (a = 20.117(4), b = 5.185(1), c = 13.978(3)Å, β = 107.07(3)°, V = 1393.8(5)Å3, Z = 2) to R1 = 5.21%; a revision of both space group symmetry and chemical formula is proposed. The idealized formula is Na(Fe3+,M)9+x(OH)11(H2O)3(PO4)6, where M = Fe3+, Cu2+ or other metal cation, and x ≈ 0.3. The structure of a slightly arsenatian ‘laubmannite’ (as defined by Moore, 1970) has been refined in space group Pbcm (a = 5.172(1), b = 13.999(3), c = 31.083(6)Å, V = 2250.5(8)Å3, Z = 4) to R1 = 3.14%. The revised, idealized formula is (Fe3+,Fe2+,M)8+x(OH,H2O)9(-H2O)2(PO4)5, where M = Fe3+, Cu2+ or other metal cation, and x ≈ 0.1. The framework structures of both minerals are similar. Dominant building units are dimers composed of face- and edge-sharing FeO6 octahedra. Whereas kidwellite contains an additional trimer built of three corner-sharing FeO6 octahedra, ‘laubmannite’ instead contains a dimer built of two corner-sharing FeO6 octahedra. Kidwellite contains only trivalent iron, while one of the Fe sites in ‘laubmannite’ is occupied by a mixture of Fe3+ and Fe2+ in a 1:1 ratio. In both structures, the FeO6-based building units are linked via corners to PO4 tetrahedra; the M sites are located in narrow channels and have very low occupancies (~2 to 7%) and strongly distorted [6]- or [5+1]-coordinations. Close structural relations between kidwellite and ‘laubmannite’, and other fibrous iron phosphates explain observations of epitaxial intergrowths of them.

The crystal structures of cis-(n-Bu4N)2[ReCl4(NCS)2] (triclinic, space group P1̅, a = 11,245( 1), b = 20.174(3), c = 21.320(8) Å, a =109.06(2), β = 96.46(2), γ = 98.22(5)°, Z = 4) and cis-(Ph4P)2[ReCl4(NCSe)2]·2CH2Cl2 (triclinic, space group P1̅, a = 10.341(2), b = 13.436(3), c = 19.616(4) Å, α = 92.70(2), β = 92.02(2), γ = 89.99( 1)°, Z= 2) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Both ambidentate ligands NCS and NCSe are bonded via the N atom. Using the molecular parameters of the X-ray determinations the low temperature (10 K) IR and Raman spectra of the (n-Bu4N) salts have been assigned by normal coordinate analysis based on a modified valence force field. The valence force constants fd(ReN) are 1,78(NCS) and 1,79(NCSe) mdyn/ Å.

The new alkaline metal arsenates(III) were synthesized at a temperature of 500 °C via reaction of stoichiometric mixtures of the elemental alkali metals A and As2O3. In the crystal structures of the four title compounds, which have been determined by single crystal x-ray diffraction, the As(III) atoms are in ψ-tetrahedral coordination by oxygen exclusively. In NaAsO2 (orthorhombic, space group Pbcm, a = 1429.6(9), b = 677.3(3), c = 509.1(2) pm, Z = 8) and the compounds AAsO2 (A = K/Rb, orthorhombic, space group Pbcm, a = 715.1(2)/729.7(5), b =748.0(1)/775.2(5), c = 539.20(17)/541.1(3) pm, Z = 4) the AsO3 ψ-tetrahedra are condensed to form zig-zag chains [AsOO2/2]−. In the Cs phase Cs3As5O9 with a lower alkaline metal content (trigonal, space group P31m, a = 845.5(3), c = 602.6(2) pm, Z = 1) the two crystallographically independent ψ-tetrahedra AsO3/2 and AsOO2/2 are connected in a 2:3 ratio to give polar sheets [As5O9]3−.

Single crystals of Eu5(BO3)3Cl were obtained by serendipity by reacting Eu2O3 and Mg with B2O3 at 1300 K in the presence of an NaCl melt for 13 h in silica-jacketed Nb ampoules. Ba5(BO3)3X (X = Cl, Br) crystals were formed by direct synthesis from appropriate amounts of Ba(OH)2, H3BO3 and the respective barium halide (hydrate) in alumina crucibles kept in the open atmosphere at 1300 K for 13 h. The crystal structures of the title compounds were determined with single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All compounds crystallize isotypically to Sr5(BO3)3Cl in the orthorhombic space group C2221 (no. 20, Z = 4) with the lattice parameters a = 1000.34(7), b = 1419.00(9), c = 739.48(5) pm for Eu5(BO3)3Cl, a = 1045.49(5), b = 1487.89(8), c = 787.01(4) pm for Ba5(BO3)3Cl, and a = 1048.76(7), b = 1481.13(9) and c = 801.22(5) pm for Ba5(BO3)3Br. The Raman spectra of all compounds were acquired and are presented and compared to literature data. The incremental volume of the orthoborate (BO3)3− anion has been determined and is compared to the Biltz volume

The crystal structures of 2-formylphenoxyacetic acid ( ofpaH ), tetraaquabis (2-formylphenoxyacetato)-cobalt(II) (1) and tetraaquabis (2- formylphenoxyacetato )zinc(II) (2) have been determined by X-ray diffraction and refined to residuals R 0.039, 0.058 and 0.045 for 1197, 1178 and 1230 observed reflections respectively. 2-Formylphenoxyacetic acid crystallizes in a monoclinic cell, space group P21/n with a 8.066(2), b 7.375(1), c 14.206(2) Ǻ, β 98.12(1)° and Z 4. The planar molecules form unusual hydrogen-bonded chain polymers (O…O 2.694(3)Ǻ] linked through the carboxyl groups. The complexes (1) and (2) are isomorphous, the comparative cells being a 5.036(1), b 13.463(3), c 15.083(4) Ǻ, β 96.88(2)° for (1), and a 5.044(1), b 13.481(3), c 15.055(4) Ǻ, β 96.95(2)° for (2), with Z 2 and space group P21. The complexes have four waters and two trans-related carboxyl oxygens [mean M-O distances 2.129(5) and 2.117(3) Ǻ respectively] completing almost regular octahedral stereochemistries . The nickel(II) complex [Ni( ofpa )(H2O)4] is probably not isostructural with (1) and (2), and the copper(II) complex is also different, with formula [Cu( ofpa )2(H2O)2].

The crystal structures of sodium ethoxide (sodium ethanolate, NaOEt), sodium n-propoxide (sodium n-propanolate, NaO n Pr), sodium n-butoxide (sodium n-butanolate, NaO n Bu) and sodium n-pentoxide (sodium n-amylate, NaO n Am) were determined from powder X-ray diffraction data. NaOEt crystallizes in space group P 421 m, with Z = 2, and the other alkoxides crystallize in P4/nmm, with Z = 2. To resolve space-group ambiguities, a Bärnighausen tree was set up, and Rietveld refinements were performed with different models. In all structures, the Na and O atoms form a quadratic net, with the alkyl groups pointing outwards on both sides (anti-PbO type). The alkyl groups are disordered. The disorder becomes even more pronounced with increasing chain length. Recrystallization from the corresponding alcohols yielded four sodium alkoxide solvates: sodium ethoxide ethanol disolvate (NaOEt·2EtOH), sodium n-propoxide n-propanol disolvate (NaO n Pr·2 n PrOH), sodium isopropoxide isopropanol pentasolvate (NaO i Pr·5 i PrOH) and sodium tert-amylate tert-amyl alcohol monosolvate (NaO t Am· t AmOH, t Am = 2-methyl-2-butyl). Their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All these solvates form chain structures consisting of Na+, –O− and –OH groups, encased by alkyl groups. The hydrogen-bond networks diverge widely among the solvate structures. The hydrogen-bond topology of the i PrOH network in NaO i Pr·5 i PrOH shows branched hydrogen bonds and differs considerably from the networks in pure crystalline i PrOH.

The structures of O-acetyl-(4R)-4-(E-2-butyl)-4,N-dimethyl-L-threonyl-cyclosporin A (1) and O-acetyl-(4R)-4-[E-2-(4-bromobutyl)]-4,N-dimethyl-L-threonyl-cyclosporin A (2) were determined by X-ray diffraction methods and compared with the structure of related cyclosporins. In contrast to expectation, neither the acetylation nor the subsequent bromination of 1 affects the conformation and packing of cyclosporins in the solid state. Both compounds are isomorphous and crystallize in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with a = 12.936(2) Å, b = 15.590(2) Å, c = 36.280(3) Å, and a = 12.916(3) Å, b = 15.675(4) Å, c = 36.715(7) Å, for 1 and 2, respectively.

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.

Colourless single crystals of the compounds CdXO4 · 2 HgO (X = S, Se) were obtained under hydrothermal conditions (250 °C, 5 d), starting from stoichiometric amounts of HgO, CdSO4 ·7H2O and CdSeO4 ·2H2O, respectively. The crystal structures were determined from X-ray diffraction data sets. The CdXO4 · 2HgO compounds crystallise isotypically with two formula units in space group P1̅ (# 2) [CdSO4 · 2HgO (CdSeO4 · 2HgO): a = 6.793(2) (6.9097(5)) Å , b = 7.205(2) (7.1786(6)) Å , c=7.359(2) (7.4556(6)) Å ,α =73.224(6) (74.586(2))°, β =66.505(6) (68.229(1))°, γ =63.054(5) (63.886(1))°, 1670 (1786) structure factors, 92 parameters, R[F2 > 2σ(F2)] = 0.0379 (0.0244)] and are made up from zig-zag [O-Hg-O]∞ chains with very short bonds of d̅(Hg-O) 2.025 Å , distorted [CdO6] octahedra (d̅(Cd-O)= 2.297 Å ), and XO4 tetrahedra (d̅(S-O)= 1.458 Å , d̅(Se-O)= 1.633 Å ) as the main building blocks. The CdXO4 ·2HgO compounds reveal no structural relationship with the corresponding HgXO4 ·2HgO phases
