With the determination of the crystal structure of (NH4)2TeI6 the list of the descriptions of A2TeX6 structures is further completed. At 293 K three structure types are observed with an antifluorite packing of cations and anions: The cubic K2PtCl6 type structure (space group Fm 3̄ m, Z = 4), the tetragonal Rb2TeI6 type structure (space group P4/mnc, Z = 2), and the monoclinic K2TeBr6 type structure (space group P21/n, Z = 2). The latter type was found for (NH4)2TeI6 with a = 8.0694(7), b = 8.0926(9), c = 11.7498(8) Å and β = 89.605(8)° and refined to a final Rw of 0.065. From ionic radii ratios the symmetry of the A2MX6 type structures can be predicted including a prediction of low temperature instability (soft mode condensation). Group-subgroup relationships connect the corresponding space groups and the space groups of the high/low temperature polymorphs.

The crystal structures of several new compounds have been determined using X-ray analysis. The intermetallic compound HoZn5Al3 (a = 8.586(3), c = 16.538(5) Å , RF = 0.0413, RW = 0.0521) has its own structure type (space group I4/mmm), which has been found for the first time. The following compounds are isostructural with the previous one: YZn5.52Al2.48 (a = 8.6183(1), c = 16.5048(3) Å , RI = 0.078, RP = 0.116), DyZn4.96Al3.04 (a = 8.5887(1), c = 16.5002(3) Å , RI = 0.077, RP = 0.114), ErZn5.37Al2.63 (a = 8.5525(2), c =16.3997(5) Å , RI = 0.081, RP = 0.111), TmZn5.64Al2.36 (a = 8.70429(8), c = 16.3943(4) Å , RI = 0.088, RP = 0.095), LuZn5.58Al2.42 (a = 8.5616(1), c= 16.3052(3) Å , RI =0.081, RP =0.101). The intermetallic compound Yb4Zn20.3Al12.7 (a = 8.6183(1), c = 16.5048(3) Å , RI = 0.085, RP = 0.112) adopts the Yb8Cu17Al49 - type structure (space group I4/mmm). The relationship between the HoZn5Al3-type and the Yb8Cu17Al49-type structures is discussed.

The crystal structure of the low-temperature (LT) modification of LaBO3 has been redetermined from single-crystal X-ray data; the resulting structure confirms the previous study [Abdullaev, Dzhafarov & Mamedov (1976). Azerbaidzhanskii Khim. Zh. pp. 117–120], but with improved precision. LT-LaBO3 crystallizes in space group Pnma and adopts the aragonite-type structure. Except for one O atom, which is situated on a general position, all other atoms (one La, one B and a second O atom) lie on mirror planes. The structure is composed of LaO9 polyhedra with an average La—O distance of 2.593 Å and trigonal BO3 groups with an average B—O distance of 1.373 Å. Slight anisotropies of the thermal vibrations of La and B atoms suggest that the electrostatic La...La and La...B interactions across the shared edges are weak.

Dicationic N,N´,N´,N´´,N´´-pentasubstituted guanidinium dichlorides 4a, b are obtained from the chloroformamidinium salt 2 and diamines 3a, b. N-[2-(Dimethylammonio)ethyl]-N´,N´,N´´,N´´-tetramethylguanidinium chloride tetraphenylborate (5a) and N-[3-(dimethylammonio)propyl]-N´,N´,N´´,N´´-tetramethylguanidinium chloride tetraphenylborate (5b) were synthesized from 4a, b by anion metathesis with one equivalent of sodium tetraphenylborate. The thermal properties of the salts 5a, b were studied by means of DSC methods, and their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. For 5a a solid-solid phase transition is observed at −156 ◦C to a low-temperature structure. The room-temperature modification (α-5a) crystallizes in the centrosymmetric orthorhombic space group Pbca (a = 13.1844(4), b = 13.8007(4), c = 34.7537(11) A° ).The guanidinium ions are interconnected via chloride ions through bridging N-H· · ·Cl hydrogen bonds, providing isolated units. The tetraphenylborate ions show some dynamic disordering in the crystal structure. The low-temperature modification (β -5a) also crystallizes orthorhombically, but in the non-centrosymmetric space group Pna21 (a = 13.1099(4), b = 69.1810(11), c = 13.5847(5) A° ) and consists of four crystallographically independent cations and anions in the unit cell. Compared with the room-temperature structure, a similar N-H· · ·Cl hydrogen bond pattern is observed in the β -phase, but the tetraphenylborate ions are now completely ordered. 5b crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c (a = 10.8010(3), b = 14.1502(5), c = 20.9867(9) A° , β = 94.322(1)◦). In the crystal structure the guanidinium ions are linked via chloride ions through N-H· · ·Cl hydrogen bonds, but in contrast to 5a two infinite strands are formed along the a axis with the tetraphenylborate ions interspersed between them for charge compensation.

Abstract Single crystals of HT-Li2PbO3 have been prepared by heating of mixtures of Rb2PbO3 and Li2O [Ag-cylinders, 600 °C, 100 d]. The structure determination [1005 symmetry independent l0(hkl), R = 5.85%, Rw = 5.35%, confirms space group C2/c with a = 548.60(16), b = 949.51(22), c = 1027.35(27) pm, β = 100.11(3)°, drö = 6.78 g · cm-3 , dpyk = 6.80 g · cm-3 , Z - 8. The NaCl-type structure variant is characterized by alter-nating layers of Li+ and Pb4+ /Li+ cations, which are all octahedrally coordinated. Effective Coordination Numbers, ECoN are calculated via Mean Fictive Ionic Radii, MEFIR.

The violet pigment methylbenzimidazolonodioxazine, C22H12Cl2N6O4 (systematic name: 6,14-dichloro-3,11-dimethyl-1,3,9,11-tetrahydro-5,13-dioxa-7,15-diazadiimidazo-[4,5-b:4′,5′-m]pentacene-2,10-dione), shows an X-ray powder diagram consisting of only ca 12 broad peaks. Indexing was not possible. The structure was solved by global lattice energy minimizations. The program CRYSCA [Schmidt & Kalkhof (1999), CRYSCA. Clariant GmbH, Pigments Research, Frankfurt am Main, Germany] was used to predict the possible crystal structures in different space groups. By comparing simulated and experimental powder diagrams, the correct structure was identified among the predicted structures. Owing to the low quality of the experimental powder diagram the Rietveld refinements gave no distinctive results and it was difficult to prove the correctness of the crystal structure. Finally, the structure was confirmed to be correct by refining the crystal structure of an isostructural mixed crystal having a better X-ray powder diagram. The compound crystallizes in P\bar 1, Z = 1. The crystal structure consists of a very dense packing of molecules, which are connected by hydrogen bridges of the type N—H...O=C. This packing explains the observed insolubility. The work shows that crystal structures of molecular compounds may be solved by lattice energy minimization from diffraction data of limited quality, even when indexing is not possible.

AbstractAg2CdSnS4 was synthesized by a two step mechanochemical synthesis route. From a detailed analysis of the observed reflections in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern, the crystal structure proposed in the literature (space group Cmc21 [E. Parthé, K. Yvon, R. H. Deitch, Acta Crystallogr.1969, B25, 1164–1174; O. V. Parasyuk, I. D. Olekseyuk, L. V. Piskach, S. V. Volkov, V. I. Pekhnyo, J. Alloys Compd.2005, 399, 173–177]) is questionable. Our structural investigations presented in this contribution point to the fact that Ag2CdSnS4 crystallizes in the monoclinic wurtzkesterite-type structure (space group Pn). At around T = 200°C, a phase transition to the orthorhombic wurtzstannite-type structure (space group Pmn21) is observed.
