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.

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.

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.

p-nitrophenol, C6H5NO3, and disophenol, C6H3I2NO3, have been investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction. The unit cell dimensions were determined from diffractometer methods, using monochromatic CuKα1 radiation, and evaluated by indexing programs. The monoclinic cell found for p-nitrophenol was a=6.159(2) Å, b=8.890(2) Å, c=11.770(2) Å, β=103.04(2)°, Z=4, space group P21 or P2l/m, Dx=1.469 Mg/m3. The monoclinic cell found for disophenol has the dimensions a=8.886(1) Å, b=14.088(2) Å, c=8.521(1) Å, β=91.11(1)°, Z=4, space group P2, P2, Pm or P2/m, Dx=2.438 Mg/m3.
