The formation of crystalline rare earth element (REE) (e.g. La, Ce, Pr, Nd) carbonates from aqueous solutions was examined at ambient temperature using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, combined with X-ray diffraction, high-resolution microscopy and infrared spectroscopy. In all experiments REE-lanthanites (REE2(CO3)3·8H2O) formed via a highly hydrated, nanoparticulate and poorlyordered REE-carbonate precursor. The lifetime of this precursor as well as the kinetics of crystallization of the various REE-lanthanites were dependent on the specific REE3+ ion involved in the reaction. The induction time and the time needed to fully form the crystalline REE-lanthanite end products increase linearly with the ionic potential. The authors show here that the differences in ion size and ionic potential as well as differences in dehydration energy of the REE3+ ions control the lifetime of the poorly ordered precursor and thus also the crystallization kinetics of the REE-lanthanites; furthermore, they also affect the structural characteristics (e.g. unit-cell dimensions and idiomorphism) of the final crystalline lanthanites.

AbstractSingle crystals of the hydrous cadmium borate Cd6B22O39·H2O were obtained through a high-pressure/high-temperature experiment at 4.7 GPa and 1000 °C using a Walker-type multianvil apparatus. CdO and partially hydrolyzed B2O3 were used as starting materials. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study has revealed that the structure of Cd6B22O39·H2O is similar to that of the type M6B22O39·H2O (M=Fe, Co). Layers of corner-sharing BO4 groups are interconnected by BO3 groups to form channels containing the metal cations, which are six- and eight-fold coordinated by oxygen atoms. The compound crystallizes in the space group Pnma (no. 62) [R1=0.0379, wR2=0.0552 (all data)] with the unit cell dimensions a=1837.79(5), b=777.92(2), c=819.08(3) pm, and V=1171.00(6) Å3. The IR and Raman spectra reflect the structural characteristics of Cd6B22O39·H2O.

AbstractA series of five synthetic tetrahedrite-group minerals has been prepared and examined using powder X-ray diffraction in order to update current powder data and provide a validation test of cell dimension prediction equations. The tetrahedrites (nominally (Cu10X2)Sb4S13 with X = Zn, Cd, Mn, Hg and Fe) have the following properties: zincian tetrahedrite, a = 10.3833 (1) Å, Dx = 4.974 (1) g/cm3, F30 = 264 (0.004, 31), M20 = 279; cadmian tetrahedrite, a = 10.5066 (1) Å, Dx = 5.073 (1) g/cm3, F30 = 208 (0.004, 37), M20 = 249; manganoan tetrahedrite, a = 10.4384 (1) Å, Dx = 4.822 (1) g/cm3, F30 = 274 (0.003, 33), M20 = 302; mercurian tetrahedrite, a = 10.5071 (1) Å, Dx = 5.570 (1) g/cm3, F30 = 150 (0.006, 35), M20 = 156; ferroan tetrahedrite, a = 10.3630 (1) Å, Dx = 5.002 (1) g/cm3, F30 = 253 (0.004, 33), M20 = 281. The experimental unit cell dimensions obtained in this study are in excellent agreement with calculated values produced using regression equations developed previously.

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.

Human lysosomal α-L-iduronidase, whose deficiency causes mucopolysaccharidosis type I, was crystallized using sodium/potassium tartrate and polyethylene glycol 3350 as a precipitant. Using synchrotron radiation, a native data set was collected from a single crystal at 100 K to 2.3 Å resolution. The crystal belonged to space groupR3 with unit-cell dimensions ofa=b= 259.22,c= 71.83 Å. To obtain the phase information, mercury-derivative crystals were prepared and a single-wavelength anomalous dispersion (SAD) data set was collected at the Hg peak wavelength. Phase calculation with the single isomorphous replacement with anomalous scattering (SIRAS) method successfully yielded an interpretable electron-density map.

Variable-temperature high-resolution capillary-mode powder X-ray diffraction is used to assess changes in unit-cell dimensions as a function of temperature over the range 188–328 K. No evidence was found for any polymorphic transformations over this temperature range and thermal expansion coefficients for urea were found to be αa= (5.27 ± 0.26) × 10−5 K−1and αc= (1.14 ± 0.057) × 10−5 K−1.

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.

The crystal structures of two vanadium(v) complexes, VOL(OCH2CH3)(1) and (VOL)2O (2), where L is the dinegative , tridentate ligand 4- phenylbutane-2,4-dione benzoylhydrazonato (2-), were determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Crystals of (1) are monoclinic, space group P21/n, a 11.064(4), b 7.565(1), c 21.786(5) Ǻ and β 95.93(2)° and Z 4; those of (2) are also monoclinic, C2/ c, with unit cell dimensions a 18.287(3), b 14.991(2), c 11.643(2)Ǻ, β 92.85(2)° for Z 4. The structures were refined by full-matrix least-squares methods to final R 0.036 for 1801 reflections with I ≥ 2.5σ(I) for (1), and R 0.061 for 1272 reflections with I ≥ 2.5σ(I) for (2). The coordination environment of the vanadium atom in both structures is a tetragonal pyramid with the oxo ligand occupying the apical positon.
