Transparent and colorless single crystals of the compounds Sr4OBr2.89(2)Cl3.11(2) and Ba2OBr2 were obtained by solid-state reactions of SrCl2, SrBr2 and SrO (3 : 3 : 2 molar ratio) or by using an excess of BaO together with BaBr2 and Ba as a flux with the molar ratio 3 : 2 : 2, respectively. Ba2OBr2 crystals are isopointal to K2ZnO2 adopting the orthorhombic space group Ibam (no. 72, Z = 4) with the cell parameters a = 7247.44(10), b = 1297.76(20) and c = 657.43(10) pm. Sr4OBr2.89(2)Cl3.11(2) is isotypic to Ba4OCl6 (or isopointal to K6ZnO4) and crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P63mc (no. 186, Z = 2) with the cell parameters a = 982.20(4) and c = 750.41(7) pm.

Single crystals of the compounds Ca4OCl6, Sr4OBr6, Ba4OBr6, and Ba2OI2 were obtained by solid-state reactions. The crystals of Ba2OI2 are transparent and colorless and isopointal to K2ZnO2 adopting the orthorhombic space group Ibam (no. 72, Z = 4) with the cell parameters a = 747.20(9), b = 1392.02(18), and c = 678.12(9) pm. Sr4OBr6 and Ba4OBr6 are isotypic to Ba4OCl6 (or isopointal to K6ZnO4) and crystallize in the hexagonal space group P63mc (no. 186, Z = 2) exhibiting the cell parameters a = 982.20(4) and c = 750.41(7) pm for Sr4OBr6 and a = 1030.10(2) and c = 785.92(4) pm for Ba4OBr6. In the ternary systems Ca-O-X (X = Cl, Br or I) the only compound found other than the starting materials was the already known Ca4OCl6 which is also isotypic to Ba4OCl6 crystallizing in the hexagonal space group P63mc (no. 186, Z = 2) with the cell parameters a = 903.30(6) and c = 683.27(8) pm.

Abstract Single crystals of I RbCd4V3O12 and TlCd4V3O12 II have been prepared by solid state reactions in closed iron tubes. The compounds crystallize closely related to the Johillerite structure in the space group C62h- C2/c with I: a = 13.058(3); b - 13.528(3), c = 7 .0 6 0 (2 )Å , β = 114.88(2)°; II: a = 12.999(6), b = 13.527(7), c = 7.055(3) Å , β = 114.88(4)°, Z = 4. Special features are the loss of Cu2+ in order to gain an additional Cd2+ position. The crystal structure is discussed with respect to related compounds of the Johillerite type.

The crystal structure of 2,5-[(S2N2C)OC4H2(CN2S2)] is orthorhombic, space group Pna21, and consists of interleaved arrays of dimers, for which the mean interannular [Formula: see text] contact is 3.137 Å. The crystal structure of the monofunctional radical 2,5-[(S2N2C)OC4H2(CN)] is monoclinic, space group P21/n, and consists of a ribbon-like network of dimers (mean interannular [Formula: see text] interconnected by close head-to-tail [Formula: see text] contacts. The dimer units form stacks parallel to z, with a mean interdimer [Formula: see text] separation of 3.956 Å. The similarities and differences between these two crystal structures and those of related benzene-substituted systems are discussed. Keywords: dithiadiazolyl radicals, furan-based diradicals, cyanofuran-based radicals, radical dimers, crystal structures.

Single crystals of Eu5(BO3)3Cl were obtained by serendipity by reacting Eu2O3 and Mg with B2O3 at 1300 K in the presence of an NaCl melt for 13 h in silica-jacketed Nb ampoules. Ba5(BO3)3X (X = Cl, Br) crystals were formed by direct synthesis from appropriate amounts of Ba(OH)2, H3BO3 and the respective barium halide (hydrate) in alumina crucibles kept in the open atmosphere at 1300 K for 13 h. The crystal structures of the title compounds were determined with single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All compounds crystallize isotypically to Sr5(BO3)3Cl in the orthorhombic space group C2221 (no. 20, Z = 4) with the lattice parameters a = 1000.34(7), b = 1419.00(9), c = 739.48(5) pm for Eu5(BO3)3Cl, a = 1045.49(5), b = 1487.89(8), c = 787.01(4) pm for Ba5(BO3)3Cl, and a = 1048.76(7), b = 1481.13(9) and c = 801.22(5) pm for Ba5(BO3)3Br. The Raman spectra of all compounds were acquired and are presented and compared to literature data. The incremental volume of the orthoborate (BO3)3− anion has been determined and is compared to the Biltz volume

Abstract X-ray structure determinations have been performed on single crystals of trans-(Ph4P)2-[B6H4I2] (1) (triclinic, space group P1̄, a = 9.9680(12), b = 10.9690(11), c = 11.0470(14) Å,α = 88.167(9), β = 80.466(12), γ = 68.839(11)°, Z = 1), mer-(Ph4P)2[B6H3I3] · 2 CH2Cl2 (2)(triclinic, space group P1̄, a = 11.8694(11), b = 15.1699(13), c = 17.051(2) Å, α = 75.118(9), β = 71.953(10), γ = 69.331(8)°, Z = 2), trans-(Ph4P )2[B6H2I4] · 2 CH3CN (3) (monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 14.9665(10), b = 7.6783(10), c = 23.385(3) Å, β = 95.78(9)°, Z = 2), and (CH2Py2)[B6HI5] (4) (orthorhombic, space group Pnma, a = 13.660(2), b = 11.8711(13), c = 13.839(2) Å, Z = 4). The B6 octahedra are compressed in the direction of the B-I bonds, resulting in shortened diagonal B ··· B distances with average values of the groups I-B ··· B-I = 2.37 and I-B ··· B-H = 2.43 Å as compared with H-B ··· B-H = 2.49 Å.

The structures of O-acetyl-(4R)-4-(E-2-butyl)-4,N-dimethyl-L-threonyl-cyclosporin A (1) and O-acetyl-(4R)-4-[E-2-(4-bromobutyl)]-4,N-dimethyl-L-threonyl-cyclosporin A (2) were determined by X-ray diffraction methods and compared with the structure of related cyclosporins. In contrast to expectation, neither the acetylation nor the subsequent bromination of 1 affects the conformation and packing of cyclosporins in the solid state. Both compounds are isomorphous and crystallize in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with a = 12.936(2) Å, b = 15.590(2) Å, c = 36.280(3) Å, and a = 12.916(3) Å, b = 15.675(4) Å, c = 36.715(7) Å, for 1 and 2, respectively.

In the quaternary system Cs / Nd / Si / O, two new representatives, the phyllo-oxosilicate Cs3NdSi8O19 and the tecto-oxosilicate Cs6Nd2Si21O48, were synthesized by CsF-flux-supported solid-state reactions between Nd2O3 and SiO2. The first one, Cs3NdSi8O19 (orthorhombic, Cmcm (no. 63), a = 705.74(5), b = 2712.85(19), c = 1163.72(8) pm, Z = 4), is not isotypic to the related scandium compound Cs3ScSi8O19. The [SiO4]4− tetrahedra (d(Si4+ -O2−) = 156 -163 pm) in the structure of Cs3NdSi8O19 are connected via common corners to form corrugated, loop-branched double layers containing four- and eight-membered rings in the (010) plane and eight-membered rings along [001]. Each of the eight-membered ellipses emerging along [100] is additionally loopbranched by two four-membered chains. The oxosilicate double layers are cross-linked by vertexsharing via otherwise isolated [NdO6]9− octahedra (d(Nd3+-O2-)= 232 - 234 pm) to build up a three-dimensional framework. Also in between the oxosilicate double layers, the (Cs1)+ cations are located on the 8 f site. Each of the octagonal channels along [001] hosts one (Cs3)+ and two (Cs2)+ cations, which both reside at only partially occupied sites (8g and 8 f , respectively) and disorder, because otherwise too short Cs+ ・ ・ ・ Cs+ distances would occur. The second compound, Cs6Nd2Si21O48, crystallizes also in an orthorhombic space group (Pmmn (no. 59), a = 2189.24(15), b = 731.92(5), c = 1593.61(11) pm, Z = 2). Starting from a loop-branched single layer containing five- and eight-membered rings, a three-dimensional framework of vertex-shared [SiO4]4− tetrahedra (d(Si4+-O2−) = 149 - 164 pm) built up, in which the Si-O distances range from 149 to 164 pm within a broad range. In certain cavities, one kind of Nd3+, but four kinds of Cs+ cations (here, all sites with full occupation) are embedded. Also surrounded by only six O2− anions just like in the first case, the Nd3+ cations (d(Nd3+-O2−) = 233 - 237 pm) exhibit an unusually small, but not unknown coordination sphere for this relatively large lanthanoid(III) cation

The structures of three bis(diamine)nickel(II) complexes, chosen to shed light on the van der Waals radius of nickel(II), are described. [Ni(cis-1,3-chxn)2]Cl2 (cis-1,3-chxn = cis-cyclohexane-1,3-diamine) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n, with a 6.397(2), b 16.463(4), c 7.229(2) Å, b 90.70(2)�, and its structure has been refined to an R value of 0.031 on 1214F. [Ni{(R)-tmdz}2]Cl2�H2O (tmdz = 5,5,7-trimethyl-1,4-diazacycloheptane) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121, with a 10.678(1), b 11.073(5), c 17.968(6) Å, and its structure has been refined to an R value of 0.031 on 1586F. [Ni(dmdz)2](ClO4)2 (dmdz = 5,7-dimethyl-1,4-diaza- cycloheptane) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n, with a 9.582(1), b 10.390(2), c 11.817(3) Å, β 96.19(2)�, and its structure has been refined to an R value of 0.059 on 817F. In all three structures, short Ni���H and Ni���C interactions, ranging from 2.37 to 2.61 Å and 2.99 to 3.03 Å, respectively, are observed. Using molecular mechanics modelling to reproduce these separations, we have arrived at a van der Waals radius of 1.35 Å for low-spin nickel(ii). Analysis of Ni���O contacts in the solid state leads to a van der Waals radius of about 1.26 Å, which is consistent with the molecular mechanics derived value since these are usually longer.
