AbstractThe crystal structure of metatorbernite with composition CuThe positional and thermal parameters were refined by full-matrix least-squares calculations. Absorption correction and correction for anomalous dispersion, for all atoms, were applied. The finalThe structure is essentially similar to that described by M. Ross, H. Evans and D. Appleman (1964) for metatorbernite, with a difference in the Cu atom position, which here is 1/4 1/4 0.31 instead of 1/4 1/4 0.80. The U atoms are six-coordinated by two O atoms (uranyl group) and four phosphate – oxygen atoms forming an asymmetrical tetragonal dipyramid. The Cu atoms are six-coordinated by two oxygen atoms of two different uranyl groups and four water molecules forming also an asymmetrical tetragonal dipyramid. The four water molecules form squares Cu(H

AbstractSingle crystals of AsTeSolution of the structure was essentialy effected by direct methods combined with successive Fourier syntheses. The positional and anisotropic thermal parameters were refined by full-matrix least-squares calculations. Absorption and anomalous dispersion corrections were applied to all atoms. The finalThe As atom is coordinated by six O atoms forming a right trigonal prism. The Te atom site is partially occupied by Te atoms with a population parameter 0.5 and surrounded by six O atoms also forming a right trigonal prism. The structure looks like that of NiAs.

SummaryThe crystal structure of epistilbite ((Ca2·59Na1·06K0·10) (Al6·29Si17·71O48).15·74H2O; C2/m; a = 9·08, b = 17·74, c = 10·25±0·01 Å; β = 124·54±0·05°) was determined by 3-D least-squares methods. The alumino-silicate framework is composed of 4-, 5-, and 8-membered rings of tetrahedra. There are two sets of intersecting channels each defined by 8-membered rings. The (Ca, Na) atoms in the channels are in contact with seven water molecules and two oxygen atoms giving a coordination of nine at a cut-off distance of 2·77 Å. The average tetrahedral distance is lower than for anhydrous framework alumino-silicates but consistent with some other zeolite structures. Partial Al-Si ordering exists with one tetrahedron occupied preferentially by aluminum. This tetrahedron contains the two oxygen atoms that are coordinated with the (Ca, Na) atom.

The crystal structures of the title compounds, [Ni(OH2)4(en)] [SO4].2H2O, (1), and [Ni(OH2)4(bpy)]- [SO4].2H2O, (2), have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K, being refined by full matrix least-squares methods to residuals of 0.028,0.031 for 1852, 4323 independent 'observed' reflections respectively. Crystals of (1) are monoclinic, C2/c, a 9.459(4), b 12.192(7), c 12.294(3) �, β 119.84(4)�, Z 4. In the cation, Ni-N is 2.061(2) �; Ni-O (trans to O, N respectively) are 2.106(2), 2.063(2) �. Instead of being enlarged above 90� as predicted from repulsion theory, the angle between the pair of oxygen atoms trans to nitrogen is diminished, being 87 14(7)�. Crystals of (2) are triclinic, P1, a 11.476(5), b 9.351(5), c 7.793(4) �, α 77.63(4), β 83.52(3), γ87.40(4)�, Z 2. In the cation, Ni-N are both 2.063(2) �. Ni-O (trans to N, O respectively) are 2.060(2), 2.O42(2); 2.O80(2), 2�. The short Ni-O distance [2.042(2)�] is associated with the coordination of a trigonal water molecule.

The P2O74− anion consists of a pair of corner-sharing PO4 groups in a nearly staggered configuration. The mean bridging and terminal P—O bond lengths are 1.607 and 1.509 Å, respectively, and the P—O—P angle is 123.2°. The anions lie in planes parallel to (001). The Al ions are bonded to six oxygen atoms contributed by anions in three layers of P2O7 groups. The average Al—O bond length is 1.889 Å. The potassium ion is coordinated to ten oxygen atoms lying within a spherical shell with inner and outer radii of 2.739 and 3.185 Å.

Crystals of CaK2As2O7 and CdK2P2O7, both grown from the melt, are monoclinic with Z = 4.

The structures were refined by full-matrix least-squares methods utilizing 2070 reflections (R = 0.056) for the diarsenate and 1145 reflections (R = 0.067) for the diphosphate. Both structures contain pseudo-hexagonally packed anions, in staggered configurations, forming layers with the divalent cations in six coordinate sites between the layers. The average M—O bond lengths are 2.342 and 2.290 Å for M = Ca and Cd respectively. The K ion has nine oxygen atoms with mean K—O bond lengths of 2.943 and 3.020 Å in the diarsenate in the coordination sphere. The mean of the ten shortest K—O is 2.939 Å in the diphosphate.

The crystal structure of the title compound, NH4 [Co(NH3)4(SO3)2],3H2O, has been redetermined using diffractometer data at 295 K and refined by full-matrix least squares to a residual of 0.056 for 2068 'observed' reflections. Crystals are orthorhombic, P212121, a 10.978(4), b 17.552(7), c 6.828(3)Ǻ, Z 4. The redetermined structure provides accurate structural data for the cobalt environment; as well, it locates all hydrogen atoms and defines cations and water molecules un- ambiguously. Co-S are 2.224(2), 2.221(2) Ǻ. Co-N (trans to S) (1.993(6), 2.023(6) Ǻ) are longer than the mutually trans Co-N (1.970(7), 1.977(6) Ǻ); the difference in the former is a consequence of lattice hydrogen bonding.

Crystals of tetrakis(4-methylpyridine)cobalt(II) hexafluorophosphate, C24H28CoF12N4P2, are tetragonal, space group I41/acd, a = 18.434(7), c = 18.818(6) Å, Z = 8. The structure was solved by direct and Fourier methods. The positional and anisotropic thermal parameters were refined by full-matrix least-squares methods to R = 0.072 for 346 observed reflexions. The structure consists of discrete [Co(4-mepy)4]2+ and PF6− ions. The structure of the cation is a distorted tetrahedron of 4-methylpyridine ligands around cobalt (crystal symmetry S4) and that of the anion is a distorted octahedron of fluorines around phosphorus (crystal symmetry C2).
