An crystal-growth technique for single crystal x-ray structure analysis of high-pressure forms of hydrogen-bonded crystals is proposed. We used alcohol mixture (methanol: ethanol = 4:1 in volumetric ratio), which is a widely used pressure transmitting medium, inhibiting the nucleation and growth of unwanted crystals. In this paper, two kinds of single crystals which have not been obtained using a conventional experimental technique were obtained using this technique: ice VI at 1.99 GPa and MgCl<sub>2</sub>·7H<sub>2</sub>O at 2.50 GPa at room temperature. Here we first report the crystal structure of MgCl2·7H2O. This technique simultaneously meets the requirement of hydrostaticity for high-pressure experiments and has feasibility for further in-situ measurements.

Abstract Crystals of K2Pt(CN)4Br2, K2Pt(CN)4I2 and K2Pt(CN)4Cl2 ·2H2O were grown, and their crystal structures have been determined from single crystal data. The structure of K2Pt(CN)4Cl2 has been determined and refined from X-ray powder data. All compounds crystallize monoclinicly (P21/c; Z = 2), and K2Pt(CN)4X2 with X = Cl, Br, I are isostructural. K2Pt(CN)4Cl2: a = 708.48(2); b = 903.28(3); c = 853.13(3) pm; β = 106.370(2)°; Rp = 0.064 (N(hkl) = 423). K2Pt(CN)4Br2: a = 716.0(1); b = 899.1(1); c = 867.9(1) pm; β = 106.85(1)°; R(F)N′ = 0.026 (N’(hkl) = 3757).

The room-temperature crystal structure of the perovskite lead hafnate PbHfO3 is investigated using both low-temperature single crystal X-ray diffraction (Mo Kα radiation, λ = 0.71069 Å) and polycrystalline neutron diffraction (D1A instrument, ILL, λ = 1.90788 Å). Single crystal X-ray data at 100 K: space group Pbam, a = 5.856 (1), b = 11.729 (3), c = 8.212 (2) Å, V = 564.04 Å3 with Z = 8, μ = 97.2 mm−1, F(000) = 1424, final R = 0.038, wR = 0.045 over 439 reflections with F >1.4σ(F). Polycrystalline neutron data at 383 K: a = 5.8582 (3), b = 11.7224 (5), c = 8.2246 (3) Å, V = 564.80 Å3 with χ2 = 1.62. Although lead hafnate has been thought to be isostructural with lead zirconate, no complete structure determination has been reported, as crystal structure analysis in both these materials is not straightforward. One of the main difficulties encountered is the determination of the oxygen positions, as necessary information lies in extremely weak l = 2n + 1 X-ray reflections. To maximize the intensity of these reflections the X-ray data are collected at 100 K with unusually long scans, a procedure which had previously been found successful with lead zirconate. In order to establish that no phase transitions exist between room temperature and 100 K, and hence that the collected X-ray data are relevant to the room-temperature structure, birefringence measurements for both PbZrO3 and PbHfO3 are also reported.

AbstractThis study presents the first crystal-structure determination of natural MgCO3·5H2O, mineral lansfordite, in comparison with previous structural works performed on synthetic analogues. A new prototype single-crystal X-ray diffractometer allowed us to measure an extremely small crystal (i.e. 0.020 mm × 0.010 mm × 0.005 mm) and refine anisotropically all non-hydrogen atoms in the structure and provide a robust hydrogen-bond arrangement. Our new data confirm that natural lansfordite can be stable for several months at room temperature, in contrast with previous works, which reported that such a mineral could be stable only below 10°C.

Murnaghan Equation

In-situ high-pressure energy dispersive X-ray diffraction measurements on CuBa 2- Ca 3 Cu 4 O 10 + δ (Cu-1234) have been performed by using diamond anvil cell (DAC) device with synchrotron radiation. The results suggest that the crystal structure of Cu-1234 superconductor is stable under pressures up to 34 GPa at room temperature. According to the Birch–Murnaghan equation of state, the bulk modulus is obtained to be ~ 150 GPa.

The synthesis and room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the title compound are recorded. Crystals are monoclinic, P 21/c, a 14.43(2), b 18.39(1), c 23.64(3) Ǻ, β 123.16(7)°, Z = 4, isostructural with the recently described Fe3Ru5 analogue; R was 0.048 for 6892 'observed' data [I > 3σ(I)]. The cluster is one of the few containing separated carbide ligands within a polyhedral metal skeleton, consisting of an Ru5C square pyramid and an Ru6C octahedron sharing a triangular face, with two PPh2 groups bridging opposite Ru-Ru vectors in each polyhedron.
