AbstractA synthetic analogue, Ca(Ti0.6Al0.2Ta0.16Nb0.04)OSiO4, of an aluminoan tantalian titanite previously described from Craveggia pegmatite (Piemonte, Italy) has been prepared by a ceramic synthesis technique and its crystal structure determined by Rietveld analysis of the powder X-ray diffraction pattern. The synthetic Al-Ta-Nb-rich titanite adopts space group A2/a implying that substitutions at the single octahedral site destroy the coherence of the off-centering of octahedral chains in the titanite structure resulting in a P21/a → A2/a phase transition. Unit-cell dimensions obtained for the Al-Ta-Nb-rich titanite are: a = 7.0649(1) Å; b = 8.7187(1) Å; c = 6.5701(1) Å; β = 113.755(1)°, V = 370.41(1) Å3. The extensive replacement of Ti by Al, Ta and Nb results in a considerable decrease in the distortion of all coordination polyhedra in the structure of this titanite. These structural data suggest that a solid solution CaTi1-x(Alx/2 [Ta,Nb]x/2)OSiO4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) adopting the titanite structure might exist.

The crystal structure of natural diterpenoid alkaloid ranaconitine isolated from Aconitum sinomontanum Nakai has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal presents a monoclinic system, space group C2 with Z = 4, unit cell dimensions a = 30.972(19) Å, b = 7.688(5) Å, and c = 19.632(12) Å. Moreover, the intermolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds and weak π-π interactions play a critical role in expanding the dimensionality.

3,5-Diphenyl-1,2-dithiolium-4-olate (1) reacts with aniline to form 1-phenylimino-2-phenylamino-3-phenylindene (3a). Under suitable conditions, 6-phenylbenzo[b]indeno[1,2-e]-1,2-thiazine is also formed. These structures are confirmed by alternative syntheses. The molecular structure of 3a has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 3a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with unit cell dimensions a = 20.777(3) Å, b = 6.130(3) Å, c = 31.327(3) Å, 3 = 99.59(1)°, and Z = 8. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least squares to a final R = 0.055. The molecular structure of 3a shows the three phenyl containing substituents to have the planes of their ring systems tilted between 40° and 60° from the plane of the indene system due to steric repulsions.

ABSTRACT Andymcdonaldite is a new ferric-iron-tellurate mineral that occurs within Au-, Te-, and Bi-rich jasperoid at the Wildcat prospect in the Detroit district, Juab County, Utah. The mineral has a yellow-brown to brownish-black color, occurs as extremely cryptocrystalline (11–25 nm) material in thin films and breccia matrix fillings, and is associated with gold (native), tellurium (native), beyerite, clinobisvanite, and a variety of tellurium oxysalt minerals that include carlfriesite, eckhardite, frankhawthorneite, khinite, mcalpineite, paratellurite, tellurite, tlapallite, and xocolatlite. This is the first known natural occurrence of a phase with an ordered (tetragonal) inverse trirutile structure (A3+2B6+O6) which has many synthetic representatives. The B site in andymcdonaldite is occupied by Te and the A site is dominated by Fe with up to approximately 14 mole% substitution by other cations. An empirical formula of (Fe1.74Cu0.12Mn0.06Al0.05Mg0.05)Σ2.02Te1.01O6 was obtained from electron microprobe analyses. Powder X-ray diffraction data, Raman spectra, and unit-cell dimensions for andymcdonaldite strongly resemble those for the synthetic analogue, Fe3+2Te6+O6. The strongest X-ray diffraction lines are [dobsÅ(Iobs)(hkl)]: 4.14(27)(101), 3.28(100)(110), 2.54(71)(103), 1.71(72)(213), and 1.37(39)(303,116). The strongest Raman bands are at 748, 643, and 417 cm–1. The space group is P42/mnm and the cell dimensions are a 4.622–4.630 Å, c 9.077–9.087 Å, and V = 193.94–194.80 Å3 (Z = 2).

The crystal structure of OsPt2(μ-CO)3(CO)2(PPh3)3 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Crystals are triclinic, space group Pī with unit cell dimensions a 13.593(4), b 15.839(4), c 12.633(8) Ǻ, α 102.97(3), β 108.18(2), γ 84.86(3)° with Z2. The structure was refined by a full-matrix least-squares procedure on 5896 reflections [I ≥ 2.5σ(I)] to final R 0.028 and Rw 0.034. A triphenylphosphine ligand binds each of the metal atoms disposed at the corners of a triangle. Each metal-metal bond is spanned by a bridging carbonyl group. The coordination about the osmium atom is completed by two terminal carbonyl groups.

Model compounds of the poly(oligomethylene thioterephthalates) have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction analyses. The pink n-methylenedithiobenzoates, obtained for n = 3, 5, 7, and 9, all have a low melting point of about 320–330 K. They all crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c. The a and b unit cell dimensions vary little while the c dimension increases monotonically as n changes from 3 to 9. The crystal structure of the four compounds were established from low-temperature X-ray intensities. Except for the lengthening of the methylenic sequence, the four molecules studied here are isostructural. One of the thiobenzoate groups of the molecules is coplanar with all the methylenic carbons, while the other thiobenzoate group is at 90° from the above plane of atoms. The methylenic sequence has the same conformation. It may be described by g+(t)n, where n is the number of methylene groups. Thus, the four compounds belong to a crystallographically homologous series. The molecules form centrosymmetric "dimers," which, in turn, are herring-bone packed in their respective unit cells. In each "dimmer" two aromatic rings are across from one another while being mutually perpendicular. On the basis of the above results, one proposes three potentially acceptable structures for the parent poly(oligomethylene thioterephthalates). Keywords: dithiobenzoate, methylene sequence, crystal structure, poly(oligomethylene thioterephthalate).

Abstract The crystal structure of jervisite, ideally NaScSi2O6, was refined using single-crystal X-ray data collected using a crystal from the Seula quarry (Baveno, Verbano-Cusio-Ossola province, Italy). The refinement was carried out in the C2/c space group giving the following unit-cell dimensions: a = 9.8478(2) Å, b = 9.0575(1) Å, c = 5.3409(3) Å, β = 106.87(2)°, and V = 455.89(2) Å3 for Z = 4. The previous crystal structure, refined using data from a synthetic analogue and a natural sample, was confirmed and conforms with that of aegirine. The bond-valence calculation and the refined occupancy of the M1 and M2 sites confirm the cation distribution adopted in the empirical formula. Raman spectroscopy and refractive index measurements were also performed, and the morphology was studied in order to provide a complete description of this Sc-bearing Na pyroxene.

A new Nasicon phosphates series [Na3+xCr2−xCox(PO4)3(0⩽x⩽1)] was synthesized by a coprecipitation method and structurally characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The selected compound Na3.5Cr1.5Co0.5(PO4)3 (x=0.5) crystallizes in the R3c space group with the following hexagonal unit-cell dimensions: ah=8.7285(3) Å, ch=21.580(2) Å, V=1423.8(1) Å3, and Z=6. This three-dimensional framework is built of PO4 tetrahedra and Cr∕CoO6 octahedra sharing corners. Na atoms occupy totally M(1) sites and partially M(2) sites.

The crystal structure of cyclopropylamine at 1.2 GPa has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The structure of this phase is orthorhombic, space group Pbca and the unit-cell dimensions are a =  5.0741 (10), b  =  9.7594 (10) and c  =  13.305 (2) Å. Only one of the two H atoms of the amino group actively participates in the formation of the hydrogen-bonded chains, C(2) in graph-set notation, which lie parallel to the crystallographic a axis. Additionally, the topology of the crystal packing is studied using both Voronoi–Dirichlet polyhedra and Hirshfeld surface analyses for the low-temperature and the high-pressure structures of cyclopropylamine and the results are compared.

[Co(NH3)4(H2O)2]OH . [Co(ohb-(S)-Leu)2] . 2 H2O (ohb, o-hydroxybenzyl) was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction which shows that both ligands in the [Co(ohb-(S)-Leu)2]- anion assume facial coordination mode with all donor atoms trans to each other, proposed on the basis of UV-VIS and 13C NMR spectroscopy, with R,S configuration of secondary N atoms. Compound crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41 with unit cell dimensions a = 22.173(7), c = 13.270(2) Å, V = 6 524 Å3, Z = 4. Structural data show that both ligands are not equivalent. Bond angles and bond lengths depend on whether secondary N atoms adopt R or S configuration. The average bond lengths are shorter when the ohb-(S)-Leu ligand coordinates with (N)R configuration.
