The ternary indides Zr5Rh2In4 and Hf5Rh2In2 were synthesized by high-frequency melting of the elements in glassy carbon crucibles in a water-cooled sample chamber. Both compounds have been investigated by X-ray diffraction on powders and single crystals: Lu5Ni2In4 type, Pbam, a = 1739.8(2), b = 758.3(1), c = 337.42(5) pm, wR2 = 0.0420, 1015 F2 values for Zr5Rh2In4, and a = 1732.1(3), b = 757.5(2), c = 333.36(7) pm, wR2 = 0.0534, 739 F2 values for Hf5Rh2In4 with 36 variables per refinement. The structures contain three crystallographically different zirconium(hafnium) siteswith coordination numbers 12, 14, and 16. Striking structural motifs are distorted rhodium-centered trigonal prisms formed by the zirconium(hafnium) atoms and CuAu related distorted cubes of zirconium (hafnium) and indium atoms. The shortest interatomic distances occur for Zr-Rh and Hf-Rh followed by Rh-In. Chemical bonding in these intermetallics is briefly discussed.

Na2.22Mn0.87In1.68(PO4)3, sodium manganese indium tris(phosphate) (2.22/0.87/1.68), was obtained in the form of single crystals by a flux method and was structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound belongs to the alluaudite structure type (space group C2/c) with general formula X(2)X(1)M(1)M(2)2(PO4)3. The X(2) and X(1) sites are partially occupied by sodium [occupancy 0.7676 (17) and 1/2] while the M(1) and M(2) sites are fully occupied within a mixed distribution of sodium/manganese(II) and manganese(II)/indium, respectively. The three-dimensional anionic framework is built up on the basis of M(2)2O10 dimers that share opposite edges with M(1)O6 octahedra, thus forming infinite chains extending parallel to [10\overline{1}]. The linkage between these chains is ensured by PO4 tetrahedra through common vertices. The three-dimensional network thus constructed delimits two types of hexagonal channels, resulting from the catenation of M(2)2O10 dimers, M(1)O6 octahedra and PO4 tetrahedra through edge- and corner-sharing. The channels are occupied by Na+ cations with coordination numbers of seven and eight.

Colorless and transparent single crystals of Ba2H3I were obtained by reacting Ba with dried and sublimed NH4I in a 4 : 1 molar ratio in silica-jacketed Nb ampoules at 1100 K for 13 h. The crystal structure of the title compound was determined and refined by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Ba2H3I crystallizes in a stuffed anti-CdI2 structure isotypic to Sr2H3I in the space group P3̄m1 (no. 164) with the lattice parameters a = 451.86(12) and c = 811.84(23) pm. The structural results for Ba2H3I are consistent with bond lengths and coordination geometries of related binary and ternary hydrides

The first zinc containing pyroborates Ni1,5Zn0,5(B2O5) (A ) and Co1,5Zn0,5(B2O5) (B) were prepared by using a B2O3 flux technique. Single crystals were investigated by X-ray diffraction and showed triclinic symmetry, space group Ci1-P1̅. The structures are isotypic to Co2(B2O5) with the lattice parameters (A ) a = 331.28(6), b = 613.87(11), c = 922.2(2), α = 104.067(11) °, β = 90.672(13) °, γ = 92.413(12) ° and (B) a = 315.89(2), b = 612.84(6), c = 927.72(6), α = 104.103(7) °, β = 91.020(6) °, γ = 92.540(7) °, Z = 2. All metal point positions show an octahedral oxygen coordination and a partly statistical distribution of Zn2+ and Ni2+ or Co2+, respectively. Isolated nearly planar B2O5 units connect ribbons consisting of edge sharing metal octahedra.

Single crystals of NiHo2(B2O5)2 were prepared by a B2O3 flux-technique in high temperature reactions at 1450 °C and investigated by X-ray diffraction. They crystallize in the space group C2h5-P21/c (Nr. 14) with a = 451.0(4); b = 724.8(3); c = 938.8(6) pm; β = 91,39( 1)°; Z = 2. The compound is isotypic to CuTb2 (B2O5)2 as well as to the gadolinite structure (FeY2(BeSiO5)2) and contains a two dimensional infinite anion with the formula 2∞ (B2O5)4-. The borate layers consist of four- and eight-membered rings of edge-sharing BO4 tetrahedra. The layers are connected via copper-centered elongated oxygen-octahedra and slightly distorted tetragonal HoO8 antiprisms.


Single crystals of naturally occurring graphite which had been treated with bromine vapour have been examined by electron and X-ray diffraction and also by electron microscopy. The intercalated bromine is in the form of layers, interleaved between the graphite layers in a sequence which is dependent upon the concentration of bromine. The structure within a bromine layer is relatively highly ordered and has been shown to take on two forms, one which occurs at concentrations in excess of 47 (wt.) %, the other occurs at lower concentrations. Detailed analysis of the diffraction patterns given by the lower concentration form suggest that it is composed of chains of Br 2 molecules, in which the interatomic distances are virtually identical with those of solid bromine.

AbstractThe mixed cation triel borate Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 was synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus at high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 12.5 GPa and 1300°C. Although the product could not be reproduced in further experiments, its crystal structure could be reliably determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41/a (origin choice 2) with the lattice parameters a = 11.382(2), c = 15.244(2) Å, and V = 1974.9(4) Å3. The structure of the quaternary triel borate consists of a complex network of BO4 tetrahedra, edge-sharing InO6 octahedra in dinuclear units, and very dense edge-sharing GaO6 octahedra in tetranuclear units.

Some novel cobalt diphenylphosphine complexes were synthesized by reacting cobalt(II) chloride with (2-methoxyethyl)diphenylphosphine, (2-methoxyphenyl)diphenylphosphine, and 2-(1,1-dimethylpropyl)-6-(diphenylphosphino)pyridine. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were obtained for the first two complexes, and their crystal structure was determined. The novel compounds were then used in association with methylaluminoxane (MAO) for the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene, and their behavior was compared with that exhibited in the polymerization of the same monomer by the systems CoCl2(PnPrPh2)2/MAO and CoCl2(PPh3)2/MAO. Some significant differences were observed depending on the MAO/Co ratio used, and a plausible interpretation for such a different behavior is proposed.

A novel metalorganic coordination polymer, namely [Co3(bpd)5.5(NCS)6(NH3)]n2H2O (1) (bpd=1,4-bis (4-pyridyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene), has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 presents 2D[3,4,-connected 3-nodal net with the point symbol (4268210)(4462)(8210). In addition, four identical 2D single nets is interlocked with each other in parallel, thus directly leading to the formation of a polycatenated layer (2D2D).

The (Ag,Pd)22Se6 phase was synthesized from individual elements by silica glass tube technique and structurally characterized from powder X-ray diffraction data. The (Ag,Pd)22Se6 phase crystallizes in Fm$\overline3$m symmetry, unit-cell parameters: a = 12.3169(2) Å, V = 1862.55(5) Å3, Z = 4, and Dc = 10.01 g/cm3. The crystal structure of the (Ag,Pd)22Se6 phase represents a stuffed 3a.3a.3a superstructure of the Pd structure (fcc), where only 4 from 108 available octahedral holes are occupied. Its crystal structure is related to the Cr23C6 structure type.

Single crystals of rubidium tetrafluoridobromate(III), RbBrF4, were grown by melting and recrystallizing RbBrF4 from its melt. This is the first determination of the crystal structure of RbBrF4 using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. We confirmed that the structure contains square-planar [BrF4]− anions and rubidium cations that are coordinated by F atoms in a square-antiprismatic manner. The compound crystallizes in the KBrF4 structure type. Atomic coordinates and bond lengths and angles were determined with higher precision than in a previous report based on powder X-ray diffraction data [Ivlev et al. (2015). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 641, 2593–2598].
