The title compound has been prepared in two different ways: First, by boiling single crystals of [(C2H5)4N]HgCl3 in a mixture of n-hexane/n-octane [4:1] at T = 350 K, and second, in a synthesis from stoichiometric quantities of the components. X-ray structure analysis gave the stoichiometry [(C2H5)4N]2Hg3Cl8, monoclinic, space group P21, a = 7.538(3), b = 19.909(6), c = 10.274(3) Å, β = 95.13(1)°, V = 1535.7(9) A3, Z = 2. The basic [Hg3Cl8]2--units form broken zig-zag chains along [100]. The Hg–Cl distances within the [Hg3Cl8]2- clusters range from 2.315(3) to 2.755(4) Å. This is a new coordination type for halomercurates.

Transparent and colorless single crystals of Yb26B12O57 were obtained by reacting Yb2O3 and B powder at 1000 °C in the presence of a KCl flux for 24 h in silica-jacketed Nb ampoules and subsequent removal of the flux by washing with water. Yb26B12O57 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m (no. 12, Z = 1) with the lattice parameters a = 2454:1(3), b = 357:78(4), c = 1426:7(2) pm and β = 115:111(6)°, and its structure differs slightly from that of a known compound with the same stoichiometry. Raman spectra of single crystals of the title compound were recorded and compared to those of known borate compounds

AbstractThe new compounds LiK[C(CN)3]2 and Li[C(CN)3]·½ (H3C)2CO were synthesized and their crystal structures were determined. Li[C(CN)3]·½ (H3C)2CO crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Ima2 (no. 46) with the cell parameters a=794.97(14), b=1165.1(2) and c=1485.4(3) pm, while LiK[C(CN)3]2 adopts the monoclinic space group P21/c (no. 14) with the cell parameters a=1265.7(2), b=1068.0(2) and c=778.36(12) pm and the angle β=95.775(7)°. Single crystals of K[C(CN)3] were also acquired, and the crystal structure was refined more precisely than before corroborating earlier results.

AbstractThe title compound, Cl2PN2CCl, has been synthesized by the reaction of PCl5 with Me3Si -N = C = N - SiMe3 (Me - CH3) in a 1:1 molar ratio. The colourless com pound is trimericin benzene solution and in the solid state and has a structure with a highly puckered 12-membered P3N6C3-ring skeleton of low symmetry. The X-ray structure determination shows a monoclinic space group P 21/a with 4 trimeric units per cell.

3SbF3•4SbF5 has been prepared from the reaction of SbF3 with a large excess of SbF5 and from the reaction of WF5 with SbF5 in Genetron 113. An X-ray structure determination has shown that the compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 8.547(10), b = 13.521(8), c = 19.551(12) Å, β = 100.3(1)°,Z = 4with the final residual indices of R = 0.0486 and Rw = 0.0526 for 4274 unique reflections. If only Sb—F distances of less than 2.1 Å are considered the structure can be viewed in terms of the arrangement (SbF2+)(SbF2+)(SbF6−)4. A Raman spectrum from single crystals of the compound is reported. Keywords: X-ray, structure, antimony, fluoride, Raman.

Abstract The molecular structure of the bridged [1]-titanocenophane 1,1'-dimethylsilylene titanocene dichloride, (CH3)2Si(C5H4)2TiCl2, has been investigated by an X-ray structure determination. Crystal data: monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z = 4, a = 1332.9(3), 6 = 988.7(3), c = 1068.9(3) pm, β = 113.43(2)°. The results are compared with the structural dimensions of similar compounds: 1,1'-methylene titanocene dichloride, CH2(C5H4)TiCl2, with the unbridged titanocene dichloride, (C5H5)2TiCl2 and the ethylene-bridged compound (CH2)2(C5H4)2TiCl2

The X-ray crystal structure of 3α,4α:5β,6β-diepoxyandrostan-17-one has been determined. Crystals of the title compound (C19H26O3)are monoclinic, space group P21, with a 9.208(2), b 9.620(4), c 9.312(3) �, β 99.14(2)�, V 814.5 Ǻ3 and Z 2. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to R 0.039 for 887 observed reflexions. The 3α,4α:5β,6β configuration of the epoxide rings confirms the assignment based on proton n.m.r. studies.

Abstract Fragmentation of 1,2,3-thiadiazoles (1) leads to the compounds 5 - 8 with an increasing proportion of sulphur. Numerous structural possibilities exist for the products 7 with the general formula (R2C2)2S3. The number of proposals can be reduced by spectroscopic techniques, but the final structure determination is accomplished by an X-ray analysis of the title compound 7a. 7a crystallizes in the space group P21/c (Z = 4) with cell parameters of a = 9.714(1), b = 16.188(8), c = 9.149(2) Å and β = 98.93(1)°. The structure is solved by direct methods and refined to R = 0.053 with 1955 diffractometer data (I ≥ 2σ(I)). The trithiolane ring has a puckered conformation and the whole molecule shows nearly perfect C2-symmetry, which is not required crystallographically.

AbstractAlstonite, BaCa(CO3)2, is a mineral described almost two centuries ago. It is widespread in Nature and forms magnificent cm-sized crystals. Notwithstanding, its crystal structure was still unknown. Here, we report the crystal-structure determination of the mineral and discuss it in relationship to other polymorphs of BaCa(CO3)2. Alstonite is trigonal, space group P31m, with unit-cell parameters a = 17.4360(6), c = 6.1295(2) Å, V = 1613.80(9) Å3 and Z = 12. The crystal structure was solved and refined to R1 = 0.0727 on the basis of 4515 reflections with Fo > 4σ(Fo) and 195 refined parameters. Alstonite is formed by the alternation, along c, of Ba-dominant and Ca-dominant layers, separated by CO3 groups parallel to {0001}. The main take-home message is to show that not all structure determinations of minerals/compounds can be solved routinely. Some crystals, even large ones displaying excellent diffraction quality, can be twinned in complex ways, thus making their study a crystallographic challenge.
