Influence Of Ph

AbstractMn-substituted iron oxides were synthesized at pH 4, 6, 8, and 10 from Fe-Mn systems with Mn mole fractions (Mn/(Mn + Fe)) of 0, 0·2, 0·4, 0·6, 0·8, and 1·0, and kept at 50°C for 40 days. The Mn mole fraction in goethite was <0·07 at pH 4 but increased to ∼0.47 at pH 6. Goethite and/or hematite formed in Fe and Fe + Mn syntheses at pH 4 and pH 6 at Mn mole fractions ≤0·8, and at Mn mole fractions ≤0·2 at pH 8 and pH 10. Hausmannite and jacobsite formed at pH 8 and pH 10 at Mn mole fractions ≥0·4. In the pure Mn syntheses, manganite (γ-MnOOH) formed at pH 4 and pH 6, whereas hausmannite (Mn3O4) formed at pH 8 and pH 10. As the Mn substitution increased, the unit-cell dimensions of goethite shifted toward those of groutite, and the mean crystallite dimensions of goethite decreased.

The crystal structure of dinitrato-2,2′-dipyridylsilver(II) has been solved and refined to an R-value of 0.070. Four circle diffractometer measurements were obtained from the twinned triclinic crystals. The unit cell dimensions at 22 °C are: a = 697.5 ± 0.2 pm, b = 999.4 ± 0.2 pm, c = 1032.2 ± 0.2 pm, α = 113.46 ± 0.02°, β = 100.71 ± 0.02°, γ = 95.28 ± 0.02°. The space group is [Formula: see text] (No. 2) with two molecules per unit cell. The density is 2.06 ± 0.04 g cm−3 (measured), 2.02 g cm−3 (calculated). The four shortest bond lengths to silver are: Ag—O(1), 214.8 ± 1.5 pm; Ag—O(4), 213.6 ± 1.5 pm; Ag—N(1), 212.4 ± 1.6 pm; Ag—N(2), 220.7 ± 1.6 pm. These four bonds are distorted from square planar geometry with the silver atom lying 19.90 ± 0.17 pm out of the mean plane of the other four atoms. There are also long bonds to the nitrato groups of neighboring molecules: Ag—O(1′), 275.3 ± 1.3 pm; Ag—O(2″), 276.3 ± 1.6 pm. Inclusion of these bonds gives a distorted octahedral silver coordination. Though predominantly unidentate, there is a slight tendency toward bidentate bonding in both nitrato ligands: Ag—O(2), 305.8 ± 1.4 pm; Ag—O(5), 295.0 ± 1.7 pm. O(2) and O(5) approach the convex side of the distorted square planar coordination. The deviation from planarity of the closely bonded square, and angular distortions in the above mentioned octahedral coordination can be rationalized by considering the silver as eight coordinate. The bonds to silver may be grouped 4:2:2 by length or 4:3:1 by angular disposition.

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°.

Crystallographic Axes

Crystals of a human γGl immunoglobulin have the external morphology of diamond shaped prisms. X-ray studies have shown them to be monoclinic, space group C2, with 2 molecules per unit cell. The unit cell dimensions are a = 194.1, b = 91.7, c = 51.6Å, 8 = 102°. The relatively large molecular weight of 151,000 and these unit cell dimensions made this a promising crystal to study in the EM.Crystals similar to those used in the x-ray studies were fixed at 5°C for three weeks in a solution of mother liquor containing 5 x 10-5M sodium phosphate, pH 7.0, and 0.03% glutaraldehyde. They were postfixed with 1% osmium tetroxide for 15 min. and embedded in Maraglas the usual way. Sections were cut perpendicular to the three crystallographic axes. Such a section cut with its plane perpendicular to the z direction is shown in Fig. 1.This projection of the crystal in the z direction shows periodicities in at least four different directions but these are only seen clearly by sighting obliquely along the micrograph.

Crystals found in the lumen of the intestine of Nematodirus battus have been studied by electron microscopy. Two of the unit cell dimensions are 16 nm x 23 nm. The possibility of an immunological significance for these crystals is considered.

Drop Technique

Crystals of Helix pomatia agglutinin (HPA) have been grown by the hanging-drop technique using polyethylene glycol as the precipitant at 293 K. Over a period of one to two weeks the crystals grew to maximum dimensions of 0.10 × 0.05 × 0.02 mm. The crystals belong to space group P6322, with unit-cell dimensions a = b = 63.3, c = 105.2 Å and Z = 12 identical monomers of Mr = 13 kDa, aggregating into two 78 kDa hexameric protein molecules per unit cell, each with symmetry 32 (D 3). The diffraction pattern extends to 3.6 Å at 293 K.
