AbstractThe crystal structures of synthetic 7 Å and 10 Å manganates, synthetic birnessite and buserite, substituted by mono- and divalent cations were investigated by X-ray and electron diffractions. The monoclinic unit cell parameters of the subcell of lithium 7 Å manganate, which is one of the best ordered manganates, were obtained by computing the X-ray powder diffraction data: a = 5.152 Å, b = 2.845 Å, c = 7.196 Å, β = 103.08°. On the basis of the indices obtained by computing the X-ray diffraction data of Li 7 Å manganate, monovalent Na, K and Cs and divalent Be, Sr and Ba 7 Å manganates were interpreted as the same monoclinic structure with β = 100–103° as that of Li 7 Å manganate, from their X-ray diffraction data. In addition, divalent Mg, Ca and Ni 10 Å manganates were also interpreted as the same monoclinic crystal system with β = 90–94° The unit cell parameters, especially a, c and β, change possibly with the type of substituent cation probably because of the different ionic radius, hydration energy and molar ratio of substituent cation to manganese. However, these diffraction data, except for those of Sr and Ba 7 Å and Ca and Ni 10 Å manganates, reveal only some parts of the host manganese structure with the edge-shared [MnO6] octahedral layer. On the other hand, one of the superlattice reflections observed in the electron diffractions was found in the X-ray diffraction lines for heavier divalent cations Sr and Ba 7 Å and Ca and Ni 10 Å manganates. The reflection presumably results from the substituent cation position in the interlayer which is associated with the vacancies in the edge-shared [MnO6] layer and indicates that the essential vacancies are linearly arranged parallel to the b-axis. Furthermore, the characteristic superlattice reflection patterns for several cations, Li, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba and Ni, manganates were interpreted that the substituent cations are regularly distributed in the interlayer according to the exchange percentage of substituent cation to Na+. In contrast, the streaking in the a-direction observed strongly in the electron diffractions for heavier monovalent cations, K and Cs, manganates probably results from the disordering of their cations in the a-direction in the interlayer.

The crystal structures of marialite (Me6) from Badakhshan, Afghanistan and meionite (Me93) from Mt. Vesuvius, Italy were obtained using synchrotron high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction (HRPXRD) data and Rietveld structure refinements. Their structures were refined in space groups I4/m and P42/n, and similar results were obtained. The Me6 sample has a formula Ca0.24Na3.37K0.24[Al3.16Si8.84O24]Cl0.84(CO3)0.15, and its unit-cell parameters are a=12.047555(7), c=7.563210(6) Å, and V=1097.751(1) Å3. The average ⟨T1-O⟩ distances are 1.599(1) Å in I4/m and 1.600(2) Å in P42/n, indicating that the T1 site contains only Si atoms. In P42/n, the average distances of ⟨T2-O⟩=1.655(2) and ⟨T3-O⟩=1.664(2) Å are distinct and are not equal to each other. However, the mean ⟨T2,3-O⟩=1.659(2) Å in P42/n and is identical to the ⟨T2′-O⟩=1.659(1) Å in I4/m. The ⟨M-O⟩ [7]=2.754(1) Å (M site is coordinated to seven framework O atoms) and M-A=2.914(1) Å; these distances are identical in both space groups. The Me93 sample has a formula of Na0.29Ca3.76[Al5.54Si6.46O24]Cl0.05(SO4)0.02(CO3)0.93, and its unit-cell parameters are a=12.19882(1), c=7.576954(8) Å, and V=1127.535(2) Å3. A similar examination of the Me93 sample also shows that both space groups give similar results; however, the C–O distance is more reasonable in P42/n than in I4/m. Refining the scapolite structure near Me0 or Me100 in I4/m forces the T2 and T3 sites (both with multiplicity 8 in P42/n) to be equivalent and form the T2′ site (with multiplicity 16 in I4/m), but ⟨T2-O⟩ is not equal to ⟨T3-O⟩ in P42/n. Using different space groups for different regions across the series implies phase transitions, which do not occur in the scapolite series.

AbstractMagnesium-chlorophoenicite may be differentiated from the Mn-analogue chlorophoenicite, because for magnesium-chlorophoenicite at 7Å, whereas for chlorophoenicite.In a review of the literature for the Mineral Powder Diffraction File by Bayliss et al. (1980), powder X-ray diffraction data could not be found of the mineral species magnesium-chlorophoenicite, (Mg,Mn)3Zn2(AsO4)(OH,O)6. Dunn (1981) states that the powder X-ray diffraction data of magnesium-chlorophoenicite is essentially identical to that of chlorophoenicite (Mn analogue) and confirms that the minerals are isostructural.With the crystal structure parameters determined by Moore (1968) for a Harvard University specimen from New Jersey of chlorophoenicite, a powder X-ray diffraction pattern was calculated with the programme of Langhof, Physikalische Chemie Institute, Darmstadt. The calculated pattern was used to correct and complete the indexing of the powder X-ray diffraction data of chlorophoenicite specimen ROM M15667 from Franklin, Sussex County, New Jersey, U.S.A. by the Royal Ontario Museum (PDF 25-1159). With the correctly indexed data of ROM M15667, the unitcell parameters were refined by least-squares analysis and are listed in Table 1.The most magnesium-rich magnesium-chlorophoenicite found in the literature is a description of Harvard University specimen 92803 from Franklin, Sussex County, New Jersey, U.S.A. by Dunn (1981), where Mg is slightly greater than Mn. A 114.6 mm Debye-Schemer film taken of HU92803 with Cu radiation and a Ni filter (CuKα = 1.5418Å) was obtained from Dr. P. Dunn and measured visually. The unit-cell parameters, which were refined by least-squares analysis starting from the unit-cell parameters of PDF 25-1159 in space group C2/m(#12), are listed in Table 1, and give F28 = 4.1(0.050,136) by the method of Smith & Snyder (1979).The hkl, dcalulated, dobserved and relative intensities (I/I1) of HU92803 are presented in Table 2. With the atomic positions and temperature factors of chlorophoenicite determined by Moore (1968), the Mn atomic positions occupied by 50% Mg and 50% Mn, and the unit-cell parameters of HU92803, a powder X-ray diffraction pattern was calculated and Icalculated is recorded in Table 2. A third powder X-ray diffraction pattern was calculated with the Mn atomic positions fully occupied by Mg. Because the atomic scattering factor of Mn is more than twice greater than Mg, chlorophoenicite may be differentiated from magnesium-chlorophoenicite based upon the calculated intensities of the first three reflections given in Table 3.Although the a, c and β unit-cell parameters of chlorphoenicite are similar to those of magnesium-chlorphoenicite, the b unit-cell parameter of chlorophoenicite is significantly greater than that of magnesium-chlorophoenicite (Table 1). The b unit-cell parameter represents the 0–0 distance of the Mn octahedra (Moore, 1968). Since the size of Mn is greater than that of Mg, chlorophoenicite may be differentiated from magnesium-chlorophoenicite based upon the b unit-cell parameter given in Table 1.American Museum of Natural History (New York, N.Y., U.S.A.) specimen 28942 from Sterling Hill, Ogdensburg, New Jersey is composed of willemite, haidingerite and magnesian chlorophoenicite. A spectrographic analysis of the magnesian chlorophoenicite shows As, Mg, Mn and Zn. Powder X-ray diffraction data (PDF 34-190) of the magnesian chlorophoenicite was collected by diffractometer with Cu radiation and a graphite 0002 monochromator (Kα1 = 1.5405) at a scanning speed of 0.125° 2θ per minute. The unit-cell parameters, which were refined by leastsquares analysis starting from the unit-cell parameters of PDF 25-1159, are given in Table 1. Specimen AM 28942 is called chlorophoenicite, because of its large b unit-cell parameter (Table 1), and the I/I1 of 25 for reflection 001 and of 50 for reflection 201 compared to the Icalculated in Table 3.

An experimental X-ray powder diffraction pattern was produced and analyzed for imipenem monohydrate, an antimicrobial pharmaceutical agent. Although there are no experimental powder patterns in the ICDD PDF-4/Organics Database, there is one powder pattern calculated with single-crystal X-ray diffraction data from the Cambridge Structural Database. Here, we report the refined experimental powder diffraction data for imipenem monohydrate. These data for imipenem monohydrate are consistent with an orthorhombic crystal system having reduced unit-cell parameters of a = 8.2534(3) Å, b = 11.1293(4) Å, and c = 15.4609(6) Å. The resulting unit-cell volume, 1420.15(15) Å3, indicates four formula units per unit cell. Observed peaks are consistent with the P212121 space group.

The crystal structure of the ordered vacancy compound (OVC) Cu3In5Te9 was analyzed using powder X-ray diffraction data. Several structural models were derived from the structure of the Cu-poor Cu-In-Se compound b-Cu0.39In1.2Se2 by permuting the cations in the available site positions. The refinement of the best model by the Rietveld method in the tetragonal space group P2c (Nº 112), with unit cell parameters a = 6.1852(2) Å, c = 12.3633(9) Å, V = 472.98(4) Å3, led to Rp = 7.1 %, Rwp = 8.5 %, Rexp = 6.4 %, S = 1.3 for 162 independent reflections. This model has the following Wyckoff site atomic distribution: Cu1 in 2e (0,0,0); In1 in 2f (½,½,0), In2 in 2d (0,½,¼); Cu2-In3 in 2b (½,0,¼); in 2a (0,0,¼); Te in 8n (x,y,z).

ABSTRACT The crystal chemistries of five samples of minerals belonging to the fillowite group were structurally investigated: (A) fillowite from the Buranga pegmatite, Rwanda; (B) fillowite from the Kabira pegmatite, Uganda; (C) johnsomervilleite from Loch Quoich, Scotland; (D) johnsomervilleite from the Malpensata pegmatite, Italy; and (E) chladniite from the Sapucaia pegmatite, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Their crystal structures were refined in space group R (No. 148), using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, to R1 values of (A) 3.79%, (B) 3.52%, (C) 4.14%, (D) 4.04%, and (E) 5.59%. Unit-cell parameters are: (A) a = 15.122(1), c = 43.258(4) Å; (B) a = 15.125(1), c = 43.198(3) Å; (C) a = 15.036(2), c = 42.972(9) Å; (D) a = 15.090(2), c = 43.050(9) Å; and (E) a = 15.1416(6), c = 43.123(2) Å. The asymmetric unit contains 15 cation sites with coordinations ranging from V to IX, as well as six P sites. The complex structure can be split into three types of chains running parallel to the c axis. These chains are composed of edge- and face-sharing polyhedra. Detailed cation distributions were determined for all five samples, and their comparison allowed us to establish the general formula A3BC11(PO4)9 for fillowite-type phosphates, where A represents the group of sites mainly occupied by Na, B the Ca sites, and C the sites containing the divalent cations Fe2+, Mn, and Mg. This formula was accepted by the CNMNC, and the four valid mineral species occurring in the fillowite group are fillowite (C = Mn), johnsomervilleite (C = Fe2+), chladniite (C = Mg), and galileiite (B and C = Fe2+). Stornesite-(Y) is discredited, since this mineral corresponds to Y-bearing chladniite.

1-N-(4-pyridylmethyl)amino naphtalene was synthesized by means of a reaction of alpha-naphthylamine, 4-pyridylcarboxyaldehyde, in anhydrous ethanol to obtainN-(4-pyridylen)-alpha-naphthylamine and that was reduced with NaBH4 to produce the wanted compound. The X-ray powder diffraction pattern for the new compound 1-N-(4-pyrydylmethyl)amino naphtalene was obtained. This compound crystallizes in a monoclinic system with refined unit cell parameters a=10.375(5) Å, b=17.665(6) Å, c=5.566(2) Å, β=100.11(3), and V=1004.3(5) Å3, with space group P2/m (No. 10).
