SummaryApjohnite, MnAl2(SO4)4·22H2O, is monoclinic, space group P21/c, a 6·198 (2), b 24·347 (4), c 21·266 (4) Å, β 100·28 (3)° and Z = 4. The crystal structure was determined by means of direct methods applied to X-ray data collected with a single-crystal diffractometer. At the end of the refinement, performed with least-squares method, the R index was 0·039.The SO4 tetrahedra, Al(H2O)5 octahedra, and MnO(H2O)5 octahedra are connected by a hydrogen bonding system; the only direct connection between polyhedra is by sharing of an oxygen between S(4) and Mn. In the asymmetric unit there are twenty-two water molecules, five of which lie in channels of the structure and are not linked to the cations but only to ligand water oxygens by means of hydrogen bonds.Powder data indicate a close structural relationship between apjohnite, halotrichite, and pickeringite.

Abstract X-ray diffraction methods have been employed to establish the crystal structure of a new, unusual pyrimidine analogue, 5-ethylidenehydroorotate, obtained by a photochemical rearrangement of 5-ethylorotate. Crystals of the calcium salt of the title compound are monoclinic, space group Pc, cell constants a=14.631, 6 = 10.038, c = 19.168 Å,β = 137.7°, and contain four molecules, two cations and three water molecules per asymmetric unit. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to R = 5.2% on the basis of 2653 diffractometer measured data. The four independent molecules represent two pairs of enantiomers with slightly differing conformations linked together by an intricate system of hydrogen bonding and Ca2+-coordination (pentagonal bipyrimidal). The structure of the compound in aqueous medium, as that in the crystal.

Three types of complexes, trans-[Pt(LH)2Cl2], [Pt(L)2], and [Pt(LH)2(SR)2] where LH = NH2—C(CH3)2(CH2OH) and NH2—C(CH2OH)3 and L are the deprotonated ligands, have been synthesized.The crystal structure of trans-[Pt(NH2—C(CH3)2CH2OH)2Cl2] has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 6,282(3), b = 20,901(13), c = 10,769(10) Å, β = 92,64(6)°, and Z = 4. The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares analysis to a conventional R factor of 0.049 and Rw = 0.042. The coordination around the platinum atom is square planar. The Pt—Cl distances are 2.306(2) and 2.309(3) Å and the Pt—N bonds are 2.060(8) and 2.071 (7) Å. The hydroxyl oxygen atoms are disordered; the disorder is different for each organic ligand. The structure is stabilized by an extensive hydrogen bonding system.

The crystal structure of N-acetylkynurenine [o-NH2C6H4COCH2CH(COOH)NHCOCH3] was determined by direct methods. The crystals are monoclinic, a 11.200(2), b 9.708(1), c 11.451(1) �,β 90.16(2)�, space group P21, with Z 4. The structure was refined by least squares to R 0.033 with 1909 unique reflections, collected on an automated four-circle diffractometer. The structure is similar to the related L-trytophan hydrochloride. The two molecules in the asymmetric unit (A,B) are generally similar structurally but differ slightly in the conformation of the N-acetyl chain which has dihedral angles with the plane of the benzene ring of 78.0� (A) and 81.5� (B). Torsion angles about the C(α)-C(β) bond between C(γ) and both the carboxyl and the amino groups make them mutually gauche. There is an extensive hydrogen-bonding system between the two distinct molecules and between similar molecules either to form a dimer or a linear polymer.

Diosgenin [or (22R,25R)-spirost-5-en-3β-ol] is the starting material of the Marker degradation, a cheap semi-synthesis of progesterone, which has been designated as an International Historic Chemical Landmark. Thus far, a single X-ray structure for diosgenin is known, namely its dimethyl sulfoxide solvate [Zhanget al.(2005).Acta Cryst.E61, o2324–o2325]. We have now determined the structure of the hemihydrate, C27H42O3·0.5H2O. The asymmetric unit contains two diosgenin molecules, with quite similar conformations, and one water molecule. Hydroxy groups in steroids and water molecules form O—H...O hydrogen-bondedR54(10) ring motifs. Fused edge-sharingR(10) rings form a backbone oriented along [100], which aggregates the diosgenin molecules in the crystal structure.

The crystal structure of the title compound, C2H10N2 2+·C6H2O4S2−·2H2O, is built of ethylenediammonium dications, occupying a special position on an inversion center, thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylate dianions, in a special position on the twofold axis, and water molecules in general positions. All residues are involved in an extensive hydrogen-bonding system, which links them into a three-dimensional supramolecular arrangement.

Complexes of the lighter lanthanide nitrates with stilbeno-15-crown-5 (L) have been prepared in ethyl acetate. These new complexes with the general formula Ln (NO3)3.L.H2O ( Ln = La, Ce , Pr, Nd ) have been characterized by means of elemental analyses, i.r . spectra, 1H n.m.r. spectra and conductivity measurements. The crystal structure of La(NO3)3.L has been determined by X-ray methods, and refined to a residual R 0.0513 for 4937 independent reflections with I ≥ 1.5σ(I). It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/a with a 16.090(5), b 15.654(8), c 22.687(2) Ǻ, β 93.96(4)°, V 5700(4)Ǻ3, and Z 8. There are two independent La(NO3)3.L monomers in one asymmetric unit; in each the coordination number is 11.

The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined by direct methods from X-ray diffraction data and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.071 for 2647 'observed' reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, C2/c, a = 36.81(1), b = 11.181(2), c = 20.369(5) �, β = 95.28(3)�, Z = 32. There are four independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, all with the cis disposition of ligands (<Fe-Hg), 2.498 �; <Hg-Fe-Hg), 80.9�); in one of the molecules one of the carbonyl sites is occupied by a more substantial moiety, possibly a result of partial occupancy of HgCl as a result of disorder or decomposition.

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.

AbstractThe new pyroxenoid barrydawsonite-(Y) occurs at the Merlot Claim, North Red Wine Pluton, Labrador, Canada (62°32'38.54'' W; 54°08'1.37'' N). The host rock is a metamorphosed eudialyte syenite consisting of eudialyte, potassic arfvedsonite, jadeitic aegirine, nepheline, albite and potassium feldspar with accessory Y-bearing pectolite, britholite and steenstrupine. Barrydawsonite-(Y) crystals commonly have discrete thin rims of Y-bearing pectolite. The average empirical formula (based on nine anions p.f.u.) is Na1.54Ca0.74Mn0.15Fe0.07Y0.38Nd0.01Sm0.01Gd0.02Tb0.01Dy0.04Ho0.01Er0.02Yb0.01Si3.00O9H. The simplified formula is Na1.5Y0.5CaSi3O9H. Barrydawsonite-(Y) is related to pectolite by the substitution ½[NaM3+Ca–2] (M3+ = Y,REE), and is exceptional in being the only member of the pectolite group that has the structure of the monoclinic M2abc polytype. The crystal structure has been determined in monoclinic space group P21/a: a = 15.5026(2), b = 7.0233(1), c = 6.9769(1) Å, β = 95.149(1)°, V = 756.58(2) Å3(Z = 4). Final agreement indices are R1 = 0.038, wR2 = 0.068, Goof = 1.136. The asymmetric unit of barrydawsonite-(Y) has three metal sites: M(1) = Ca, M(2) = Na0.5(Y,REE)0.5, M(3) = Na. M(1) and M(2) are octahedrally-coordinated sites, whereas M(3) is [8]-coordinated as in pectolite and serandite. The structural formula for the empirical composition is M(3)Na1.00M(2)(Na0.50Y0.38REE0.13)Σ=1.01M(1)(Na0.04Ca0.74Mn0.152+Fe0.072+)Σ=1.00Si3O9H. There is excellent agreement between the refined site-scattering values and those calculated based upon the structural formula.Barrydawsonite-(Y) is biaxial (+) with α = 1.612(1), β = 1.617(1), γ = 1.630(1) (white light) and 2V = 63(1)°. The five strongest peaks in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern are [dobs (Å), Iobs%, (hkl)]: [2.905, 100, (023)], [3.094, 30, (210,211,121,202)], [1.7613, 29, (127,323,040)], [3.272, 27, (202,104)], [1.7016, 27, (140,227,325)].
