ABSTRACT Andymcdonaldite is a new ferric-iron-tellurate mineral that occurs within Au-, Te-, and Bi-rich jasperoid at the Wildcat prospect in the Detroit district, Juab County, Utah. The mineral has a yellow-brown to brownish-black color, occurs as extremely cryptocrystalline (11–25 nm) material in thin films and breccia matrix fillings, and is associated with gold (native), tellurium (native), beyerite, clinobisvanite, and a variety of tellurium oxysalt minerals that include carlfriesite, eckhardite, frankhawthorneite, khinite, mcalpineite, paratellurite, tellurite, tlapallite, and xocolatlite. This is the first known natural occurrence of a phase with an ordered (tetragonal) inverse trirutile structure (A3+2B6+O6) which has many synthetic representatives. The B site in andymcdonaldite is occupied by Te and the A site is dominated by Fe with up to approximately 14 mole% substitution by other cations. An empirical formula of (Fe1.74Cu0.12Mn0.06Al0.05Mg0.05)Σ2.02Te1.01O6 was obtained from electron microprobe analyses. Powder X-ray diffraction data, Raman spectra, and unit-cell dimensions for andymcdonaldite strongly resemble those for the synthetic analogue, Fe3+2Te6+O6. The strongest X-ray diffraction lines are [dobsÅ(Iobs)(hkl)]: 4.14(27)(101), 3.28(100)(110), 2.54(71)(103), 1.71(72)(213), and 1.37(39)(303,116). The strongest Raman bands are at 748, 643, and 417 cm–1. The space group is P42/mnm and the cell dimensions are a 4.622–4.630 Å, c 9.077–9.087 Å, and V = 193.94–194.80 Å3 (Z = 2).

AbstractA synthetic analogue, Ca(Ti0.6Al0.2Ta0.16Nb0.04)OSiO4, of an aluminoan tantalian titanite previously described from Craveggia pegmatite (Piemonte, Italy) has been prepared by a ceramic synthesis technique and its crystal structure determined by Rietveld analysis of the powder X-ray diffraction pattern. The synthetic Al-Ta-Nb-rich titanite adopts space group A2/a implying that substitutions at the single octahedral site destroy the coherence of the off-centering of octahedral chains in the titanite structure resulting in a P21/a → A2/a phase transition. Unit-cell dimensions obtained for the Al-Ta-Nb-rich titanite are: a = 7.0649(1) Å; b = 8.7187(1) Å; c = 6.5701(1) Å; β = 113.755(1)°, V = 370.41(1) Å3. The extensive replacement of Ti by Al, Ta and Nb results in a considerable decrease in the distortion of all coordination polyhedra in the structure of this titanite. These structural data suggest that a solid solution CaTi1-x(Alx/2 [Ta,Nb]x/2)OSiO4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) adopting the titanite structure might exist.

The enzyme catalase (H2O2–H2O2 oxidoreductase; E.C. 11.1.6) was purified from haemolysate of human placenta and crystallized using the vapour-diffusion technique. Synchrotron-radiation diffraction data have been collected to 1.76 Å resolution. The enzyme crystallized in the space group P212121, with unit-cell dimensions a = 83.6, b = 139.4, c = 227.5 Å. A molecular-replacement solution of the structure has been obtained using beef liver catalase (PDB code 4blc) as a search model.

AbstractSingle crystals of the hydrous cadmium borate Cd6B22O39·H2O were obtained through a high-pressure/high-temperature experiment at 4.7 GPa and 1000 °C using a Walker-type multianvil apparatus. CdO and partially hydrolyzed B2O3 were used as starting materials. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study has revealed that the structure of Cd6B22O39·H2O is similar to that of the type M6B22O39·H2O (M=Fe, Co). Layers of corner-sharing BO4 groups are interconnected by BO3 groups to form channels containing the metal cations, which are six- and eight-fold coordinated by oxygen atoms. The compound crystallizes in the space group Pnma (no. 62) [R1=0.0379, wR2=0.0552 (all data)] with the unit cell dimensions a=1837.79(5), b=777.92(2), c=819.08(3) pm, and V=1171.00(6) Å3. The IR and Raman spectra reflect the structural characteristics of Cd6B22O39·H2O.

The crystal structure of natural diterpenoid alkaloid ranaconitine isolated from Aconitum sinomontanum Nakai has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal presents a monoclinic system, space group C2 with Z = 4, unit cell dimensions a = 30.972(19) Å, b = 7.688(5) Å, and c = 19.632(12) Å. Moreover, the intermolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds and weak π-π interactions play a critical role in expanding the dimensionality.

Variable-temperature high-resolution capillary-mode powder X-ray diffraction is used to assess changes in unit-cell dimensions as a function of temperature over the range 188–328 K. No evidence was found for any polymorphic transformations over this temperature range and thermal expansion coefficients for urea were found to be αa= (5.27 ± 0.26) × 10−5 K−1and αc= (1.14 ± 0.057) × 10−5 K−1.

3,5-Diphenyl-1,2-dithiolium-4-olate (1) reacts with aniline to form 1-phenylimino-2-phenylamino-3-phenylindene (3a). Under suitable conditions, 6-phenylbenzo[b]indeno[1,2-e]-1,2-thiazine is also formed. These structures are confirmed by alternative syntheses. The molecular structure of 3a has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 3a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with unit cell dimensions a = 20.777(3) Å, b = 6.130(3) Å, c = 31.327(3) Å, 3 = 99.59(1)°, and Z = 8. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least squares to a final R = 0.055. The molecular structure of 3a shows the three phenyl containing substituents to have the planes of their ring systems tilted between 40° and 60° from the plane of the indene system due to steric repulsions.

The crystal structures of two vanadium(v) complexes, VOL(OCH2CH3)(1) and (VOL)2O (2), where L is the dinegative , tridentate ligand 4- phenylbutane-2,4-dione benzoylhydrazonato (2-), were determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Crystals of (1) are monoclinic, space group P21/n, a 11.064(4), b 7.565(1), c 21.786(5) Ǻ and β 95.93(2)° and Z 4; those of (2) are also monoclinic, C2/ c, with unit cell dimensions a 18.287(3), b 14.991(2), c 11.643(2)Ǻ, β 92.85(2)° for Z 4. The structures were refined by full-matrix least-squares methods to final R 0.036 for 1801 reflections with I ≥ 2.5σ(I) for (1), and R 0.061 for 1272 reflections with I ≥ 2.5σ(I) for (2). The coordination environment of the vanadium atom in both structures is a tetragonal pyramid with the oxo ligand occupying the apical positon.
