Single crystals of Na0.44MnO2 (=Na4Mn9O18) have been synthesized by a flux method at 1173 K for the first time. The crystal structure of Na0.44MnO2 has been refined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The framework structure consists of double and triple rutile-type chains of edge-sharing MnO6 octahedra and a single chain of edge-sharing MnO5. The Mn-O bond distance and bond valence analyses revealed the manganese valence Mn3+/Mn4+ ordering in the Na0.44MnO2 structure.

AbstractIdeal sillenite type Bi12FeO20 (BFO) micron sized single crystals have been successfully grown via inexpensive hydrothermal method. The refined single crystal X-ray diffraction data reveals cubic Bi12FeO20 structure with single crystal parameters. Occurrence of rare Fe4+ state is identified via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The lattice parameter (a) and corresponding molar volume (Vm) of Bi12FeO20 have been measured in the temperature range of 30–700 °C by the X-ray diffraction method. The thermal expansion coefficient (α) 3.93 × 10–5 K−1 was calculated from the measured values of the parameters. Electronic structure and density of states are investigated by first principle calculations. Photoelectrochemical measurements on single crystals with bandgap of 2 eV reveal significant photo response. The photoactivity of as grown crystals were further investigated by degrading organic effluents such as Methylene blue (MB) and Congo red (CR) under natural sunlight. BFO showed photodegradation efficiency about 74.23% and 32.10% for degrading MB and CR respectively. Interesting morphology and microstructure of pointed spearhead like BFO crystals provide a new insight in designing and synthesizing multifunctional single crystals.

The crystal structure redetermination of Sr2PdO3 (distrontium palladium trioxide) was carried out using high-quality single-crystal X-ray data. The Sr2PdO3 structure has been described previously in at least three reports [Wasel-Nielen & Hoppe (1970). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 375, 209–213; Muller & Roy (1971). Adv. Chem. Ser. 98, 28–38; Nagata et al. (2002). J. Alloys Compd. 346, 50–56], all based on powder X-ray diffraction data. The current structure refinement of Sr2PdO3, as compared to previous powder data refinements, leads to more precise cell parameters and fractional coordinates, together with anisotropic displacement parameters for all sites. The compound is confirmed to have the orthorhombic Sr2CuO3 structure type (space group Immm) as reported previously. The structure consists of infinite chains of corner-sharing PdO4 plaquettes interspersed by SrII atoms. A brief comparison of Sr2PdO3 with the related K2NiF4 structure type is given.

Crystal Lattice Parameters

In pharmaceutical sciences, the crystal structure is of primary importance because it influences drug efficacy. Due to difficulties of growing a large single crystal suitable for the single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, powder diffraction method is widely used. In powder method, two-dimensional diffraction information is projected onto one dimension, which impairs the accuracy of the resulting crystal structure. To overcome this problem, we recently proposed a novel method of fabricating a magnetically oriented microcrystal array (MOMA), a composite in which microcrystals are aligned three-dimensionally in a polymer matrix. The X-ray diffraction of the MOMA is equivalent to that of the corresponding large single crystal, enabling the determination of the crystal lattice parameters and crystal structure of the embedded microcrytals.[1-3] Because we make use of the diamagnetic anisotropy of crystal, those crystals that exhibit small magnetic anisotropy do not take sufficient three-dimensional alignment. However, even for these crystals that only align uniaxially, the determination of the crystal lattice parameters can be easily made compared with the determination by powder diffraction pattern. Once these parameters are determined, crystal structure can be determined by X-ray powder diffraction method. In this paper, we demonstrate possibility of the MOMA method to assist the structure analysis through X-ray powder and single crystal diffraction methods. We applied the MOMA method to various microcrystalline powders including L-alanine, 1,3,5-triphenyl benzene, and cellobiose. The obtained MOMAs exhibited well-resolved diffraction spots, and we succeeded in determination of the crystal lattice parameters and crystal structure analysis.

Homoleptic eight-fold coordinated methylisocyanide complexes of W(IV) and W(V) have been prepared for the first time. The reaction of [NBu4]4[W(CN)8] with methyl triflate MeOTf gives [W(CNMe)8][OTf]4. The even stronger methylating mixture of methyl fluoride MeF and arsenic pentafluoride AsF5 in liquid sulfur dioxide SO2 is able to fully alkylate both [NBu4]4[W(CN)8] and [NBu4]3[W(CN)8]. The paramagnetic octakis(methylisocyanide)- tungsten(V) [W(CNMe)8][AsF6]5 is thermally highly unstable above −30 °C. All compounds have been characterized via single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR and Raman, as well as NMR or EPR spectroscopy<br>

Two symmetrical dibenzoquinone derivatives were isolated from solid cultures of the fungus Acremonium cavaraeanum. Compound 1 was new and identified as 2,7-dihydroxy-3,6,9-trimethyl-9 H-xanthene-1,4,5,8-tetraone. Compound 2 was 3,3’,6,6’-tetrahydroxy-4,4’-dimethyl-1,1’-bi- p-benzoquinone, i.e. oosporein, which was reported from A. cavaraeanum for the first time. The structure of the dibenzoquinone (1) was unambiguously elucidated using a combination of MS, IR, 1D- and 2D-NMR, and the dibenzoquinone (2) was further determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

The intermetallic cerium compounds CePdGe, CePtSi, and CePtGe were synthesized from the elements by arc-melting and subsequent annealing. The structure of CePtSi was refined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data: LaPtSi-type (ordered α-ThSi2 version), 141md, a = 419.6(1) and c = 1450.0(5) pm, wR2 = 0.0490, 362 F2 values and 16 variables. The Pt-Si distances within the three-dimensional [PtSi] network are 242 pm, indicating strong Pt-Si interactions. Hydrogenation of the three compounds at 623 K and 4 MPa H2 gave no indication for hydride formation.

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.

The structure of the layered noncentrosymmetric titanosilicate AM-1 (also known as JDF-L1, disodium titanium tetrasilicate dihydrate), Na4Ti2Si8O22·4H2O, grown as small single crystals without the use of organics, has been refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The H atom has been located for the first time, and the hydrogen-bonding scheme is also characterized by IR and Raman spectroscopy. All atoms are in general positions except for the Na, the Ti, one Ti-bound O, one Si-bound O and the water O atoms (site symmetries 2, 4, 4, 2 and 2, respectively).

Academic Laboratory

Single crystal X-ray diffraction methods for the study of crystalline materials, although reliable, have been, mainly confined to the academic laboratory because of the rather lengthy and complex procedure necessary to determine the unit cell and the space group. The situation has now changed. Several recent developments give single-crystal methods considerable potential for routine Industrial use. They Include growth of the data base, advances in lattice theory, and automation of the single-crystal X-ray diffractometer. To identify an unknown, one can start with a single crystal, mount it on the diffractometer, determine a refined primitive cell, reduce the cell, and check against a file of known reduced cells. The entire procedure can be automated. As a result, the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method can now complement the powder method for the routine analysis of crystalline materials.
