The possibility of localized doping by Er3+ diffusion at moderate (less than 500 °C) temperature was for the first time demonstrated for sapphire single crystal wafers. The doping was achieved by immersing the substrate wafers into reaction melt containing small amounts of erbium salt. The crucial point of the presented technology was a crystallographic orientation of the used wafers. The most suitable orientation of the cuts was the “X-cut” with orientation (11–20). The strong anisotropy of the moderate temperature Er3+ doping into lithium niobate and sapphire was explained on the basis of the crystal structure of particular cuts.

Abstract The molecular and single crystal structure of O,O-diethyl O-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl] phosphorothioate oxalate, as determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies, is described for the first time; although this compound is well-known by industry and research from the mid-20th century. The known decomposition product of pure O,O-diethyl O-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl] phosphorothioate could also be structurally characterized. Additionally, the compounds are characterized by recent analytical methods e.g. NMR. The findings of our study support the thesis that the isolated decomposition product must be a by-product of the thiono-thiolo rearrangement process of the title compound.

Pseudobinary cyanides of monovalent and divalent metals were synthesized, and X-ray and Raman data of the cyanides were measured. Single crystal X-ray structure analyses were performed on Zn(CN)2 (Pn3̄m (No. 224), a = 591.32(7) pm), Hg(CN)2 (I4̄2d (No. 122), a = 969.22(14) and c = 890,15(18) pm) and for the first time on AgCN (I4̄2d (No. 166), a = 600.58(8) and c = 526.28(11) pm). The data are compared with literature data. The reaction of TlF and NaCN in 25% aqueous ammonia solution in air led to Tl5(CO3)2(CN) which was characterized by X-ray (Cmca (No. 64), 1468.1(3), 1171.6(2) and 1266.0(3) pm) and Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract Ba2ZnGe2S6O was prepared for the first time and the crystal structure determined by using single crystal X-ray methods. The space group is D32d-P4̄21m, tetragonal (No. 113). Lattice constants: a = 963.59 ± 0.22; c = 645.06 ± 0.25 pm. The tetrahedral framework structure is described and discussed. Zn is linked only to sulfur. The oxygen belongs to the coordination sphere of Ge and Ba.

A single crystal of Nd5Mo3O16with lead partly substituting for neodymium, which has a fluorite-like structure, was studied by precision X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission microscopy and EDX microanalysis. The crystal structure is determined in the space group Pn\bar 3n. It was found that the Pb atoms substitute in part for Nd atoms in the structure and are located in the vicinity of Nd2 positions. Partial substitutions of Mo cations for Nd positions and of Nd for Mo positions in crystals of theLn5Mo3O16oxide family are corroborated by X-ray diffraction for the first time. The first experimental verification of the location of an additional oxygen ion in the voids abutting MoO4tetrahedra was obtained.

The crystal structure of bentorite, ideally Ca6Cr2(SO4)3(OH)12·26H2O, a Cr3+ analogue of ettringite, is for the first time investigated using X-ray single crystal diffraction. Bentorite crystals of suitable quality were found in the Arad Stone Quarry within the pyrometamorphic rock of the Hatrurim Complex (Mottled Zone). The preliminary semi-quantitative data on the bentorite composition obtained by SEM-EDS show that the average Cr/(Cr + Al) ratio of this sample is >0.8. Bentorite crystallizes in space group P31c, with a = b = 11.1927(5) Å, c =21.7121(10) Å, V = 2355.60(18) Å3, and Z = 2. The crystal structure is refined, including the hydrogen atom positions, to an agreement index R1 = 3.88%. The bentorite crystal chemical formula is Ca6(Cr1.613Al0.387)Σ2[(SO4)2.750(CO3)0.499]Σ3.249(OH)11.502·~25.75H2O. The Raman spectra of bentorite from two different localities exhibit the presence of the main stretching and bending vibrations related to the sulfate group at 983 cm−1 (ν1), 1109 cm−1 (ν3), 442 cm−1 (ν2), and 601 cm−1 (ν4). Moreover, the presence of bands assigned to the symmetric Cr(OH)63− stretching mode and hydroxyl deformation vibrations of Cr–OH units at ~540 cm−1 and ~757 cm−1, respectively, may be used to distinguish between ettringite and bentorite. In situ high temperature single crystal XRD experiments show that the decomposition of bentorite starts at ca. 45 °C and that a dehydroxylation product similar to metaettringite is formed.

Clavorubin (1,5,6,8-tetrahydroxy-3-methyl-9,10-dioxoanthracene-2-carboxylic acid) (1), previously known only from the ascomycetious rye fungus Claviceps purpurea (‘ergot’), has been isolated from the fruit bodies of two Australasian basidiomycetes belonging to the genus Cortinarius and characterized by spectroscopic and chemical methods. A single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of the methyl ester (4) of 6-O-methylclavorubin establishes unequivocally, for the first time, the structure of the natural product.

The crystal structure of the title compound [CO(C15H11N3)2]Cl3 has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K and refined by least-squares methods to a residual of 0.069 for 2953 'observed' reflections. Crystals are triclinic, PI, a 9.018(4), b 11.751(4), c 18.085(6)�, α 9O.82(6), β 9O.66(7), γ 90.79(7)�, Z 2. The determination establishes for the first time metal-nitrogen distances in the bis(terpyridyl)cobalt(III) species; (Co-N)(central, distal) are 1.86, 1.93 �. The precision of the determination is adversely affected by widespread solvent/anion disorder.
