The crystal structures of approximants RECd6 (RE = Tb, Ho, Er, Tm and Lu) have been refined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. This work is a continuation of a previous study of MCd6 approximants [1] in which the different types of disorder of the central Cd4 tetrahedra located in the dodecahedral cavities were examined. The structures of the title compounds are all similar to GdCd6 and disorder was observed in all these compounds. There is a correlation between the anisotropic displacement parameter and the unit cell dimension

AbstractThe compounds (Pn4P)4Sb8I28 (1) and (Ph4P)Sb3I10 (2) were prepared by the reaction of SbI3 and Ph4PI in acetonitrile (molar ratios 2:1 and 3:1 respectively). The structures of 1 and 2 were determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data.1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̄ with a - 1321.7(5). b = 1346.7(5), c = 2201.8(8) pm, α = 104.18(2). β = 99.92(2), γ = 100.33(2)°; 2: monoclinic, C2/c, a = 2371.1(2), b = 745.0(1), c = 2495.1(2) pm, β = 100.75(1)°.Whereas 1 exhibits isolated Sb8I284- ions, the anions of 2 are built up of polymeric chains [Sb3I10- ]∞. In both compounds the distorted Sbl6 octahedra are linked by common edges. The Sb-I distances are in the range between 277.4 and 354.8 pm (1) and between 277.4 and 342.4 pm (2). The observed structures do not only depend on stoichiometry, the nature of the counter cations, and the possibility of oligomerisation but also on the wide variety of the Sb-I bond strengths and the different bridges formed by iodine.The lone pair of Sb(III) seems to be predominantly 5 s2.

A number of Fmoc amino acids can be effective low molecular weight hydrogelators; we compare single crystal structures to fibre X-ray diffraction data.

(Ph4P)2Mn2Br6 (1) and (Ph3PCH2Ph)2Mn2I6 (2) were prepared from the reaction of manganese dihalide with the corresponding phosphonium halide in CH2Cl2.The structures of 1 and 2 were determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data.Both compounds crystallize in the triclinic space group P 1 with one formula unit per unit cell.1:a = 998.1(1), b = 1005.7(1), c = 1313.3(2) pm, α = 108.51(1), β = 94.25(1), γ = 100.36(1)°.2: a = 1058.6(2), b = 1236.3(2), c = 1248.4(3) pm, α = 63.53(1), β = 74.15(1), γ = 74.65(1)°.The structures of 1 and 2 exhibit discrete, dimeric anions formed by the fusion of two identical tetrahedral-like units with a common halogen-halogen edge. The mean Mn-Hal bond lengths were found to be 251.8 pm (Mn-Br) and 272.2 pm (Mn-I). The difference between the bridging and terminal Mn-Hal bond lengths is about 12-13 pm in both compounds

AbstractOrthorhombic dysprosium orthogallate DyGaO3 and trigonal gallium orthoborate GaBO3 were synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus under high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 8.5 GPa/1350 °C and 8 GPa/700 °C, respectively. Both crystal structures could be determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction data collected at room temperature. The orthorhombic dysprosium orthogallate crystallizes in the space group Pnma (Z = 4) with the parameters a = 552.6(2), b = 754.5(2), c = 527.7(2) pm, V = 0.22002(8) nm3, R1 = 0.0309, and wR2 = 0.0662 (all data) and the trigonal compound GaBO3 in the space group R3̅c (Z = 6) with the parameters a = 457.10(6), c = 1419.2(3) pm, V = 0.25681(7) nm3, R1 = 0.0147, and wR2 = 0.0356 (all data).

The crystal structures of [(en)2NiCl2Ni(en)2] Cl2 (1) and [(en)2NiCl2Ni(en)2] (ClO4)2 (2) have been redetermined from single- crystal X-ray diffraction data at 295(1) K and refined by least squares to residuals of 0.073 and 0.052 respectively for 1345 and 1605 'observed' reflections respectively. Crystals of (1) are monoclinic, P21/n, a 14.053(4), b 11.309(3), c 6.326(1) Ǻ, β 94.22(2)�, Z 2. Crystals of (2) are monoclinic, P21/n, a 8.885(12), 6 19.707(20), c 7.120(8) Ǻ, β 108.99(4)�, Z 2. In both (1) and (2), a dimeric complex cation is observed, a pair of cis coordination sites about the nickel in each case being occupied by the bridging chlorines; the latter are asymmetric (Ni-Cl, 2.461(3), 2.551(3)(1); 2.461(3), 2.512(3) Ǻ (2)).

AbstractThe crystal structure of the rare secondary lead mineral georgiadesite has been solved from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data (R = 0.071). The structure can be visualized in terms of alternating puckered (100) layers of [Pbϕ6] octahedra and [Pbϕ8] bicapped trigonal prisms (ϕ = generic anion). Lead also occurs in irregular, lopsided polyhedra. This structural study shows unambiguously that arsenic occurs as As3+ and not as As5+. The chemical formula of georgiadesite has therefore been revised, on structural grounds, to Pb4(AsO3)Cl4(OH).

The compounds β -RE(BO2)3 [RE = Nd (neodymium meta-borate), Sm (samarium meta-borate) and Gd (gadolinium meta-borate)] were synthesized under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus at 3.5 GPa (Nd), 7.5 GPa (Sm, Gd) and 1050 °C. The crystal structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction data collected at r. t. (Sm, Gd) and at−73°C (Nd), respectively. The structures are isotypic with the already known ambient-pressure phases β -RE(BO2)3 (RE = (Tb, Dy) and the high-pressure phases β -RE(BO2)3 (RE = Ho-Lu)

Abstract. The titanium samples alloyed with molybdenum and aluminum are used to conduct full high-precision X-ray experiments enabling to determine the characteristic of the atomic interrelations - the unit cell dimension, and to establish the phase components of the doped single crystal. An orthorhombic phase is found, the volume of which increases after the deformation impact.
