Composition Structure

A fundamental problem in materials science consists in establishing a relationship between the chemical composition, structure, and properties of materials. This issue can be solved through the study of multicomponent systems and the directed synthesis of promising compounds. Of practical interest here are active dielectrics that are based on complex oxide compounds, specifically molybdates. Among complex molybdates and tungstates, ternary caged molybdates of the following structural types are of greatest importance: nasicon, perovskite, langbeinite, etc. Due to their widely varying elemental and quantitative compositions, such molybdates are convenient models for structural and chemical design, as well as the establishment of “composition–structure– properties” genetic relationships. Bismuth-containing complex molybdate systems exhibit the formation of phases having ferro-piezoelectric, ionic, and other properties. In this work, the Rb2MoO4–Bi2(MoO4)3–Zr(MoO4)2 ter nary salt system was studied for the first time using the method of intersecting sections in the subsolidus region (450–650 ℃). To this end, quasibinary sections were identified; triangulation was performed. Ternary molybdates Rb5BiZr(MoO4)6 and Rb2BiZr2(MoO4)6,5 were formed in the system using a ceramic technology. These compounds are isostructural to the previously obtained REE molybdates (M5LnZr(MoO4)6) but contain trivalent bismuth instead of rare earth elements. The structure of Rb5BiZr(MoO4)6 was adjusted via the Rietveld refinement technique using the TOPAS 4.2 software package. The ternary molybdate crystallizes in a trigonal system, with the following unit cell parameters of the R`3c space group: a = 10.7756(2) and c = 39.0464(7) Å. According to the studies of thermal properties exhibited by M5BiZr(MoO4)6, these ternary molybdates undergo the first-order phase transition in the temperature range of 450–600 ºC. The IR and Raman spectra of M5BiZr(MoO4)6 reveal the crystallization of ternary molybdates in the R`3c space group. The conducted comparative characterization of M2MoO4–Bi2(MoO4)3–Zr(MoO4)2 phase diagrams suggests that the phase equilibria of these systems depend on the nature of molybdates of monovalent elements.

New compounds Li3Ba2Bi3(XO4)8(Х = Mo, W) were obtained by the ceramic technology. Those are the first representatives of the ternary molybdates and tungstates Li3Ba2Bi3(XO4)8 family, which contain different from the rare earth elements trivalent metal. The sequence of chemical transformations occurring during the Li3Ba2Bi3(WO4)8 formation has been established. The primary characterization of the obtained phases was carried out and their ion-conducting properties were studied. The synthesized compounds are shown to melt incongruently, isostructural to the lanthanide-containing analogues (structural type of BaNd2(MoO4)4, sp. gr. C2/c) and crystallize in the monoclinic crystal system with unit cell parameters а = 5.2798(1), b = 12.8976(4), c = 19.2272(5) Å, β = 90.978(2)° (Х = Mo), а = 5.2733(2), b = 12.9032(4), c = 19.2650(6) Å, β = 91.512(3)° (Х = W). Li3Ba2Bi3(XO4)8 are found to undergo the diffuse first-order phase transitions at 441°C (molybdate) and 527°C (tungstate), after that their conductivity reaches values of 10–3–10–4 S/cm.

Adenylate Kinases

Adenylate kinases (AdKs; EC 2.7.3.4) play a critical role in intercellular homeostasis by the interconversion of ATP and AMP to two ADP molecules. Crystal structures of adenylate kinase fromStreptococcus pneumoniaeD39 (SpAdK) have recently been determined using ligand-free and inhibitor-bound crystals belonging to space groupsP21andP1, respectively. Here, new crystal structures of SpAdK in ligand-free and inhibitor-bound states determined at 1.96 and 1.65 Å resolution, respectively, are reported. The new ligand-free crystal belonged to space groupC2, with unit-cell parametersa= 73.5,b= 54.3,c= 62.7 Å, β = 118.8°. The new ligand-free structure revealed an open conformation that differed from the previously determined conformation, with an r.m.s.d on Cαatoms of 1.4 Å. The new crystal of the complex with the two-substrate-mimicking inhibitorP1,P5-bis(adenosine-5′-)pentaphosphate (Ap5A) belonged to space groupP1, with unit-cell parametersa= 53.9,b= 62.3,c= 63.0 Å, α = 101.9, β = 112.6, γ = 89.9°. Despite belonging to the same space group as the previously reported crystal, the new Ap5A-bound crystal contains four molecules in the asymmetric unit, compared with two in the previous crystal, and shows slightly different lattice contacts. These results demonstrate that SpAdK can crystallize promiscuously in different forms and that the open structure is flexible in conformation.

A new, unified superspace approach to the structural characterization of the perovskite-related Sr n (Nb,Ti) n O3n + 2 compound series, strontium niobium/titanium oxide, is presented. To a first approximation, the structure of any member of this compound series can be described in terms of the stacking of (110)-bounded perovskite slabs, the number of atomic layers in a single perovskite slab varying systematically with composition. The various composition-dependent layer-stacking sequences can be interpreted in terms of the structural modulation of a common underlying average structure. The average interlayer separation distance is directly related to the average structure periodicity along the layer stacking direction, while an inherent modulation thereof is produced by the presence of different types of layers (particularly vacant layers) along this stacking direction. The fundamental atomic modulation is therefore occupational and can be described by means of crenel (step-like) functions which define occupational atomic domains in the superspace, similarly to what occurs for quasicrystals. While in a standard crystallographic approach, one must describe each structure (in particular the space group and cell parameters) separately for each composition, the proposed superspace model is essentially common to the whole compound series. The superspace symmetry group is unique, while the primary modulation wavevector and the width of some occupation domains vary linearly with composition. For each rational composition, the corresponding conventional three-dimensional space group can be derived from the common superspace group. The resultant possible three-dimensional space groups are in agreement with all the symmetries reported for members of the series. The symmetry-breaking phase transitions with temperature observed in many compounds can be explained in terms of a change in superspace group, again in common for the whole compound series. Inclusion of the incommensurate phases, present in many compounds of the series, lifts the analysis into a five-dimensional superspace. The various four-dimensional superspace groups reported for this incommensurate phase at different compositions are shown to be predictable from a proposed five-dimensional superspace group apparently common to the whole compound series. A comparison with the scarce number of refined structures in this system and the homologous (Nb,Ca)6Ti6O20 compound demonstrates the suitability of the proposed formalism.

ABSTRACTWe report one amorphous and four new crystalline phases in the Bi-Sr-0 system. The structure of three of the crystalline phases was identified. The Br10Bi6O24-y phase, which is cubic with space group Fm3m and cell parameter a = 0.8471(1) nm. The SreBi10O27-y phase, which is tetragonal with the space group I/mmm, and cell parameters a = 0.6007(1), c = 0.8376(1) nm. The SreBi10O27-y phase, which is tetragonal with space group I/mmm and cell parameters a = 1.3221(1), c = 0.4249(1) nm. We show that in the crystalline structures Sr and Bi occupy equivalent sites.

Hexagonal (Na3/4K1/4)AlGeO4 crystallizes in the space group P63 with unit-cell parameters a = 10.164 (2), c = 8.540 (2) Å and Z = 8 [wR(F 2) = 0.066 for all 3060 independent reflections]. Monoclinic (Na3/4K1/4)AlGeO4 crystallizes in the space group P21 with unit-cell parameters a = 10.0477 (4), b = 8.5764 (4), c = 10.2118 (4) Å, β = 119.035 (1)° and Z = 8 [wR(F 2) = 0.120 for all 3194 independent reflections measured on a twinned crystal]. Both structures belong to the large family of stuffed tridymites, with the Al and Ge atoms occupying tetrahedral sites, and the alkali atoms occupying the cavities of the tetrahedral framework. Hexagonal (Na3/4K1/4)AlGeO4 is isostructural with the silicate mineral nepheline (Na3/4K1/4)AlSiO4, while monoclinic (Na3/4K1/4)AlGeO4 corresponds to a minor distortion of the nepheline structure. Chemical analysis by electron microprobe and structure determination of flux-grown single crystals indicate that the hexagonal form with the chemical formula (Na0.78K0.19)Al0.97Ge1.03O4 may be stabilized by an alkali deficiency similar to that found in hexagonal natural nephelines. In contrast, all alkali sites are fully occupied in the monoclinic form of composition (Na0.75K0.25)AlGeO4 and the lower symmetry eliminates the oxygen disorder present in the hexagonal form.

Abstract High-temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments up to T = 2710 °C have been performed on ZrSiO4 and ZrO2 powders, using the container-less levitation technique. A two-dimensional imaging plate (IP) detector was used for short-time observation. The diffraction data in a wide area was projected in one dimension. The unit cell parameters, thermal expansions, and c/a ratios for ZrSiO4 (space group I41/amd and Z = 4), tetragonal ZrO2 (space group P42/nmc and Z = 2) and cubic ZrO2 (space group  F m 3   ‾ m $Fm3‾{}m$ and Z = 4) were measured to understand the high-temperature behaviors. The transition temperature between tetragonal and cubic ZrO2 was specified to be between 2430 and 2540 °C. The pre-transitional behavior was observed around 2200 °C. As no clear change in unit cell volume is evident, the phase boundary between the tetragonal and the cubic phase has been shown to be a positive slope. The ZrO2 and ZrO2–SiO2 phase diagrams are proposed based on the chemical composition and the crystal structure.

We studied the photochemical reactivity of salts of 4-(2,4,6-triisopropylbenzoyl)benzoic acid with propane-1,2-diamine (1), methanamine (2), cyclohexanamine (3), and morpholine (4), for compounds (1), (3), and (4) at 0.1 MPa and for compounds (1) and (2) at 1.3 GPa and 1.0 GPa, respectively. The changes in the values of the unit cell parameters after UV irradiation and the values of the intramolecular geometrical parameters indicated the possibility of the occurrence of the Norrish–Yang reaction in the case of all the compounds. The analysis of the intramolecular geometry and free spaces revealed which o-isopropyl group takes part in the reaction. For (1), the same o-isopropyl group should be reactive at ambient and high pressures. In the case of (2), high pressure caused the phase transition from the space group I2/a with one molecule in the asymmetric unit cell to the space group P1¯ with two asymmetric molecules. The analysis of voids indicated that the Norrish–Yang reaction is less probable for one of the two molecules. For the other molecule, the intramolecular geometrical parameters showed that except for the Norrish–Yang reaction, the concurrent reaction leading to the formation of a five-membered ring can also proceed. In (3), both o-isopropyl groups are able to react; however, the bigger volume of a void near 2-isopropyl may be the factor determining the reactivity. For (4), only one o-isopropyl should be reactive.
