Different Types

Experimentally,the grazing-incident X-ray topography at different diffraction conditions, and room temperature photo-luminescence spectroscopy, various different types of stacking-faults in epitaxial films on 4-degrees-off 4H-SiC wafers were identified precisely without wafer cutting. Their types and the numbers were investigated statistically. It became clear that (4,4) type stacking-faults were the most common ones and two different types were identified. Still 34% of the stacking-faults were unknown types in the present investigation.Several different kinds of stacking-faults formed on the surface of 4-degrees-off 4H-SiC epitaxial wafers were investigated. Their types could be identified and type distribution in a wafer could be obtained using X-ray topography and room temperature Photo-Luminescence without wafer cutting. Type determination of 8H(4,4)- stacking fault ; with or without strain field, could also be decideddemonstrated using this method.

Syntheses and room-temperature single crystal X-ray structure determinations are recorded for adducts [M(EPh3)4] (ClO4), M = Cu, E = As (1), Sb (2); M = Ag, E = As (3), Sb (4), enabling comparison with analogous, previously studied MP4 and MN4 environments. The four complexes so characterized all crystallize in the familiar rhombohedral R-3 array (a ≈ 14·4, c ≈ 52 Å, hexagonal setting) with the metal and chlorine atoms located on crystallographic threefold axes. In these arrays Cu–E (axial, off axis) are 2·493(2), 2·533(1) for (1), and 2·572(1), 2·577(1) Å for (2), the disparity in the two independent M-E distances being diminished relative to those of previously studied phosphorus analogues, perhaps in consequence of increasing E size. In (3) and (4), some cation disorder is evident in respect of the ligand pnictide atom (E); for the major components Ag-E are 2·652(3), 2·680(2) in (3); 2·732(2), 2·7295(8) Å in (4). Problems associated in defining the metal atom environment geometries in the latter are, nevertheless, more satisfactorily overcome in two further determinations of nitrate salts: [Ag(SbPh3)4] (NO3) (5) is of the rhombohedral family with no cation core disorder, Ag–E (axial, off axis) being 2·720(4), 2·725(2) Å, while the structural characterization of a 1 : 4 triphenylarsine adduct of silver nitrate is recorded as its tetraethanol solvate, namely [Ag(AsPh3)4] (NO3).~ 4C2H5OH(6), monoclinic, C2/c, a 18·373(4), b 20·786(5), c 21·070(8) Å, β 108·18(3)°, Z = 4 f.u. The silver atom of the [Ag(AsPh3)4]+cation unusually lies on a crystallographic 2 (rather than a 3 ) axis of the incipiently23 (T) array, with Ag-As 2·649(2), 2·650(2) Å and As-Ag-As ranging from 108·22(4) to 111·41(6)°. The structure determination of a chloroform solvate of (2), denoted (2a), of low precision, is noted, together with the structure of an interesting artefact, isomorphous with the rhombohedral oxoanion array, modelled as [Ag(PPh3)4]2 (SiF6).py (7). Bands in the far-infrared spectra of [M(AsPh3)4] (ClO4) are assigned to v(MAs) vibrations at 119 (M = Cu) and 103 cm¯1 (M = Ag); this produces a more consistent picture of the variation in the wavenumbers of the v(ME) modes in [M(EPh3)4]+ compounds than was available previously.

Structure Determinations

Single-crystal room-temperature X-ray structure determinations of the title compounds have been carried out. The two compounds are isomorphous, and isomorphous with the previously determined iodide analogue, being monoclinic, P 21/c, a ≈ 10.0, b ≈ 14.9, c ≈ 7.8 Ǻ, β ≈ 92°, Z = 4 formula units; residuals were 0.037, 0.036 for 2197, 1654 'observed' reflections for X = Cl , Br respectively. As in the iodide, the complexes are infinite polymers, with successive bismuth atoms bridged by the two halides and one sulfur atom of the ligand , which also chelates each bismuth. The structure determination of C5H5NCONEt2]2 [Cl5Bi(NC5H5)], isostructural with its thiocarbamoyl analogue, is also recorded.

AbstractIn this paper, the application of recently developed x-ray diffraction techniques to the characterization of thin epitaxial films will be discussed. The double-crystal diffractometer, with high resolution in the non-dispersive arrangement, enables the materials scientist to study epitaxial systems having a very small mismatch with high precision. A key part of the characterization of an epitaxial film is the determination of the strain tensor by measuring lattice spacing! in various directions The determination of strain and composition profiles in ion-implanted films, epitaxial layers and superlattices by rocking-curve analysis will also be reviewed. Grazingincidence diffraction, an emerging new technique, can be used to obtain structural details parallel to the interface on films with thicknesses ranging down to a few atomic layers. The synchroton has now become increasingly available as a powerful source of x radiation which will facilitate the application of conventional and grazing-incidence diffraction to ultra-thin films.

The 12: 1 reaction of urea (U) with CoI2in EtOH yielded the “clathrate-coordination” compound[CoU6]I2·4U (1). The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c. The lattice constants area= 9.844(4),b= 7.268(3),c= 24.12(1) Å, andβ=98.12(1)∘. The crystal structure determination demonstrates the existence of octahedral[CoU6]2+cations,I-counterions, and two different types (twoU1and twoU2) of hydrogen-bonded, lattice urea molecules. The[CoU6]2+cations and theU1lattice molecules form two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded layers which are parallel to theabplane. TheI-anions are placed above and below each layer, and are hydrogen bonded both toU1molecules and[CoU6]2+cations. EachU2molecule is connected to a[CoU6]2+cation through anN–H⋯Ohydrogen bond resulting in a three-dimensional network. Room temperature magnetic susceptibility and spectroscopic (solid-state UV/Vis, IR, Raman) data of1are discussed in terms of the nature of bonding and the known structure.

Structural Characterizations

A room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the 1 : 1 adduct of 1,10-phenanthroline (`phen") with lutetium(III) acetate (as its dihydrate) is recorded. Crystals are triclinic, P 1, a 12·430(8), b 10·681(4), c 8·134(8) Å, α 74·76(6), β 84·81(7), γ 74·29(4)°, Z = 2 f.u.; conventional R on |F| was 0·031 for No 3939 independent ‘observed’ (I > 3σ(I)) diffractometer reflections. The complex [(N,N′-phen)(O,O′-ac)Lu(O-ac-O′)4Lu(O,O′-ac)(N,N′-phen)].2H2O is binuclear, the lutetium being eight-coordinated by bidentate phen and ac (acetate) ligands and four oxygen atoms from the bridging acetate ligands. Also recorded is the structural characterization of 1 : 1 Lu(ac)2Cl/tpy (tpy = 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine) as its pentahydrate; this complex is triclinic, P 1, a 12·410(3), b 11·559(4), c 9·976(4) Å, α 85·19(3), β 70·30(3), γ 65·70(2)°, Z = 2, R 0·049 for No 4717. The complex is shown to be [(tpy)(H2O)2Lu(O2CCH3)2]Cl.3H2O, with the lutetium nine-coordinated by tridentate tpy, a pair of bidentate acetates and two unidentate water molecules, with the chloride uncoordinated. Structural characterizations of a number of 1 : 1 adducts of variously solvated lanthanoid(III) trichloroacetates, Ln(tca)3, with tpy are also recorded. Yb(tca)3/tpy/MeOH (1 : 1 : 1) is triclinic, P 1, a 14·016(4), b 12·951(5), c 9·604(3) Å, α 73·89(3), β 76·56(3), γ 69·20(3)°, Z = 2 f.u., R 0·057 for No 4465. The complex is mononuclear, the eight-coordinate N3YbO5 array containing tridentate tpy, unidentate methanol, and two unidentate and one bidentate chelating anions. 1 : 1 : 1 Ln(tca)3/tpy/OH2 adducts for Ln = La(-)Nd are triclinic, P 1, a ≈ 13·4, b ≈ 12·47, c ≈ 11·5 Å, α ≈ 114·5, β ≈ 89·9, γ ≈ 115·6°, Z = 1 binuclear array, R 0·061, 0·071 for No 3240, 2394. The two Ln atoms are O,O′-bridged by a pair of anions, the N3LnO6 nine-coordinate lanthanoid environment being completed by a tridentate tpy, one water, one unidentate and one bidentate anion. A 1 : 1 : 1 Lu(tca)3/tpy/OH2 array, by contrast, is triclinic, P 1, a 16·569(8), b 14·815(5), c 14·375(6) Å, α 62·05(3), β 81·35(4), γ 77·97(3)°, Z = 4 ‘mononuclear’ f.u., R 0·067 for No 6710. The array, remarkably, contains species of both of the above types in a 1 : 2 binuclear-to-mononuclear ratio, but with water replacing methanol in the mononuclear array.

AbstractA 16th century liturgical cope belonging to D. Teotónio of Braganza (collection of the Museum of Évora, ME 172/1) was selected for a material study. The cope is made of a variety of materials that include two different types of metal threads, dyed silk yarns, and vegetable yarns used in the weft. Several samples from different points representing the different metal thread types and colored silk yarns were collected. Stereomicroscopy (optical microscopy) and scanning electron microscopy were used for morphological analysis of the textile fibers and evaluation of metal thread degradation products. Evaluation of mordants and metal thread composition was carried out by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Liquid chromatography with diode array and mass spectrometry detection was used for dye identification, which allowed the determination of three different red dye sources and one yellow dye source in the colored silk yarns. Although different fabrics were used in the manufacturing of the cope, similarities identified in the characterization of the materials suggest that a single workshop was involved in its making.

New complex [Pt(Ph2bipy)Cl2] (1) is obtained from the reaction of H2PtCl6×6H2O and 4,4'-diphenyl-2,2'-bipyridine (Ph2bipy) in a mixture of methanol, chloroform, and dimethyl sulfo­xide. Suitable crystals of 1 for the diffraction experiment are obtained by slow evaporation of the resulted orange solution at room temperature. This complex is characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, UV-Vis, and luminescence spectroscopy and its structure is studied by the single crystal X-ray diffraction method. X-ray structure determination shows that in the structure of this compound, the Pt(II) atom is four-coordinated in a distorted square-planar configuration by two nitrogen atoms from a bidentate 4,4'-diphenyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand and two terminal chlorine atoms.

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.

In this paper the synthesis and the study of some complex compounds of Fe(III) with ligands derived from: 2-(4-chloro-phenylsulfanyl)-1-(2-hydroxy-3,5-diiodo-phenyl)-ethanone (HL1), 1-(3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxy-phenyl)-2-phenylsulfanyl-ethanone(HL2), and 2-(4-chloro-phenylsulfanyl)-1-(3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxy-phenyl)-ethanone (HL3) is presented. The characterization of these complexes is based on method as: the elemental chemical analysis, IR and ESR spectroscopy, M�ssbauer, the thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction. Study of the IR and chemical analysis has evidenced that the precipitates form are a complexes and the combination ratio of M:L is 1:2. The central atoms of Fe(III) presented paramagnetic properties and a octaedric hybridization. Starting from this precipitation reactions, a method for the gravimetric determination of Fe(III) with this organic ligands has been possible. Based on the experimental data on literature indications, the structural formulae of the complex compounds are assigned.
