The crystal structure of new Tb3CuAl3Ge2 quaternary compound was studied by the Rietveld method from powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. The Tb3CuAl3Ge2 compound crystallized in the hexagonal Y3NiAl3Ge2-type structure with space group P-62m (no. 189) and lattice parameters a = 7.0041(2) Å, c = 4.1775(1) Å, V = 177.48 Å3. There is only one formula in each unit cell, Z = 1, and the density of Tb3CuAl3Ge2 is ρx = 7.1696 g cm−3. The reliability factors characterizing the Rietveld refinement results are Rp = 6.43%, Rwp = 8.65%, RB = 4.81%, and RF = 4.09%, respectively. The powder XRD data of Tb3CuAl3Ge2 were presented and the reliability of indexation is F30 = 120.9(0.0073, 34).

The syntheses and IR spectra of the complexes [Mo2(O2C-Ph)4X2]2⊖ with X = N3, CI, Br and the counter ion PPh4⊕ are reported. The azido and the bromo complexes are obtained from a solution of [Mo2(O2CPh)4] with PPh4N3 in pyridine or by reaction with PPh4Br in CH2Br2, respectively. When (PPh4)2[Mo2(O2CPh)4(N3)2] is dissolved in CH2Cl2, nitrogen is evolved and the complex with X = CI is obtained. The crystal structure of (PPh4)2[Mo2(O2CPh)4Cl2] · 2CH2Cl2 was determined from X-ray diffraction data (5676 observed independent reflexions, R = 0.042). It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with four formula units per unit cell; the lattice constants are a = 1549, b = 1400, c = 1648 pm, β = 94.6°. The centrosymmetric [Mo2(O2CPh)4Cl2]2⊖ ion has a rather short Mo-Mo bond of 213 pm, whereas the MoCl bonds are very long (288 pm)

SummaryThe crystal structure of gersdorffite (III) has been examined with three-dimensional Weissenberg X-ray diffraction data. The unit cell is isometric with a 5·6849 ± 0·0003 Å, space group PI, and four formula units per cell. This structure has the sulphur and arsenic atoms equally distributed over the non-metal atom sites of pyrite. All atoms show significant random displacements from the ideal pyrite positions to produce triclinic symmetry, which serves to distinguish this mineral from a disordered cubic gersdorffite (II) and a partially ordered cubic gersdorffite (I). Factors responsible for the atomic distortions are discussed.

CH3HgN3 crystallizes in the space group P21/c with four molecules per unit cell. The structure was solved by common crystallographic methods using X-ray diffraction data that were collected at a temperature of 100°K. The cooling was necessary to limit the radiation damage of the crystals. The molecules possess an essentially linear C-Hg-N group; in the crystals they are associated to layers bearing the methyl groups on their outer side.

The crystal structure of [MePh3P]2TiCl6 was determined from X-ray diffraction data and refined to a residual index of R = 0.065. It crystallizes in the space group P2i/n with two formula units per unit cell; the cell dimensions are a - 921, b = 1314, c = 1648 pm and y - 100.87°. The TiCl62- ion occupies an inversion center and has the shape of a slightly distorted octahedron with Ti-Cl distances between 233 and 235 pm.

The crystal structure of the ordered vacancy compound (OVC) Cu3In5Te9 was analyzed using powder X-ray diffraction data. Several structural models were derived from the structure of the Cu-poor Cu-In-Se compound b-Cu0.39In1.2Se2 by permuting the cations in the available site positions. The refinement of the best model by the Rietveld method in the tetragonal space group P2c (Nº 112), with unit cell parameters a = 6.1852(2) Å, c = 12.3633(9) Å, V = 472.98(4) Å3, led to Rp = 7.1 %, Rwp = 8.5 %, Rexp = 6.4 %, S = 1.3 for 162 independent reflections. This model has the following Wyckoff site atomic distribution: Cu1 in 2e (0,0,0); In1 in 2f (½,½,0), In2 in 2d (0,½,¼); Cu2-In3 in 2b (½,0,¼); in 2a (0,0,¼); Te in 8n (x,y,z).
