AbstractThe anion-mixed niobium tetrahalides Nb(Br0.62(4)Cl0.38(4))2Cl2 and NbI2Cl2 were obtained by heating NbBr5 with NbCl5 and NbI5 with NbCl5, respectively, in equimolar ratios with niobium metal in evacuated, torch-sealed silica ampoules at 720 K for 3 days. The orthorhombic title compounds form as very brittle black needles and were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction [space group: Immm, Z=4; a=704.27(6), b=824.13(7), c=929.64(8) pm for Nb(Br0.62(4)Cl0.38(4))2Cl2 and a=753.76(6), b=829.38(7) and c=983.41(8) pm for NbI2Cl2]. Surprisingly enough, these mixed-anionic halides are not isostructural with either NbCl4, NbBr4 or NbI4, but crystallize isotypically with TaI2Cl2, thus being examples for differential site occupancy stabilized materials. Structural features of other niobium(IV) halides are compiled and compared to those of Nb(Br0.62(4)Cl0.38(4))2Cl2 and NbI2Cl2. Except for NbF4, they all exhibit chains of trans-edge connected [NbX6]2− octahedra, which allow Peierls distortions to form Nb–Nb single bonds. The packing of these chains differ, however, depending on the actual halide or mixed-halide combination.

Trigonal Structure

Several interesting fluoroberyllium borates were synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structures of RbBe2BO3F2 (RBBF; rubidium fluoroberyllium borate) and CsBe2BO3F2 (CBBF; caesium fluoroberyllium borate), previously determined in the space group C2, were reinvestigated for higher symmetry and found to have more suitable solutions in the space group R32. TlBe2BO3F2 (TBBF; thallium fluoroberyllium borate) was synthesized as a novel compound also having this trigonal structure type. Details of the space-group determination and unique structural features are discussed. These crystal structures were compared with that of KBe2BO3F2, revealing interesting structural trends within this family of compounds that are also discussed. A crystallographic explanation of the physical morphology is postulated.

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

Petzite, Ag3AuTe2, crystallizes in the space group I4132, which is a Sohncke type of space group where chiral crystal structures can occur. The structure refinement of petzite reported long ago [Frueh (1959). Am. Mineral. 44, 693–701] did not provide any information about the absolute structure. A new single-crystal X-ray diffraction refinement has now been performed on a sample from Lake View Mine, Golden Mile, Kalgoorlie, Australia, which has resulted in a reliable absolute structure [a Flack parameter of 0.05 (3)], although this corresponds to the opposite enantiomorph reported previously. The minimum Te–Te distance is 3.767 (3) Å, slightly shorter than the van der Waals bonding distance, which suggests a weak interaction between the two chalcogens. XANES spectra near the Au and Te L III edges suggest that the chemical-bonding character of Au in petzite is more metallic than in other gold minerals.

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).

AbstractThe single-crystal X-ray structure of tungstenian wulfenite-I41/a containing 10 mol.% WO3 from the San Francisco mine, Sonora, Mexico, space group I41/a, a = 5.436(2), c = 12.068(8)Å and Z = 4, has been refined to R = 0.052. The Mo and W are disordered over special position 4a (0,0,0) in the lattice. Tungstenian wulfenite-I4̄ (‘chillagite’) from the Christmas Gift mine, Chillagoe, Queensland, Australia (Museum of Victoria specimen M16934), crystallizes in the closely related tetragonal space group I4̄, with a = 5.441(1), c = 12.068(6) Å and Z = 4. The structure was refined to R = 0.038. Refined site occupancy factors show that Mo and W are not distributed equally over the two crystallographically independent Mo/W positions, being 0.136(2) for Mo and 0.114(2) for W in special position 2a (0,0,0) and 0.184(2) for Mo and 0.066(2) for W in special position 2c (0,Ý,Ü). These give a composition corresponding to wulfenite64stolzite36, in agreement with analytical data. The Mo/W distributions in the unit cell provide one explanation for the origin of hemihedrism in the wulfenite-stolzite series.

A series of M 0.5Bi3P2O10 compounds with M = Ca, Sr, Ba and Pb have been synthesized in MO–Bi2O3–P2O5 ternary systems by the ceramic method and the crystal structures were then solved using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. These compounds are isostructural with Bi6.67P4O20 (triclinic, space group P\bar 1, Z = 2). The structures consist of infinite chains of Bi2O2 units along the c axis formed by linking BiO8 and BiO6 polyhedra. These chains are interconnected by MO8 polyhedra forming two-dimensional layers in the ac plane. The phosphate tetrahedra are sandwiched between these layers.
