2011The crystal structure of [Co(NH3)6](ADC)(HADC) · 2H2O (1) (ADC2- =acetylenedicarboxylate) (P21=n, Z = 4) was mistakenly described as containing the [Co(H2O)6]3+ ion [I. Stein, U. Ruschewitz, Z. Naturforsch. , 66b, 471 - 478]. A revision is reported. While attempting to reproduce 1, we isolated phase-pure crystalline material of [Co(NH3)6]Cl2(HADC) · H2O (2), the crystal structure of which was also reported in the article above. Upon standing in the aqueous mother liquor at room temperature for several days, the needle-shaped crystals of 2disappear, while blockshaped crystals of the formerly unknown compound [Co(NH3)6](ADC)(HADC) (3) grow. Satellite peaks in the X-ray diffraction frames indicate that the crystal structure is incommensurately modulated. Dissolving crystals of 3 in water at elevated temperature leads to plate-shaped crystals of the new compound [Co(NH3)6]2(ADC)3 · 3H2O (4) upon slow cooling to room temperature. Compounds 2- 4 were investigated by elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. Structural characterization of 4 by single-crystal X-ray analysis was also achieved (P1̅ , Z = 2). Complex 1, however, could not be reproduced

The title compound, Ca2+xNd8–x(SiO4)6O2–0.5x(x= 0.49), was synthesized at 1873 K and rapidly quenched to room temperature. Its structure has been determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and compared with results reported using neutron and X-ray powder diffraction from samples prepared by slow cooling. The single-crystal structure from room temperature data was found to belong to the space groupP63/mand has the composition Ca2.49Nd7.51(SiO4)6O1.75[dicalcium octaneodymium hexakis(orthosilicate) dioxide], being isotypic with natural apatite and the previously reported Ca2Nd8(SiO4)6O2and Ca2.2Nd7.8(SiO4)6O1.9. The solubility limit of calcium in the equilibrium state at 1873 K was found to occur at a composition of Ca2+xNd8–x(SiO4)6O2–0.5x, wherex= 0.49.

The synthesis and characterization of 11 zinc halide derivatives that contain monodentate oxazoline ligands is described. The treatment of ether solutions of [ZnX2] (X = Cl, Br, I) with 2-aryl- or 2-methyl-2-oxazolines results in the formation of mildly hygroscopic complexes of the general formulae [ZnX2(ox)2] (ox = 2-methyl-2-oxazoline (1), 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-oxazoline (2), 2-phenyl-2-oxazoline (3), or 4,4-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2-oxazoline (4)), except in the case of ZnI2, which does not form an isolable complex — likely for steric reasons — with oxazoline 4. Treatment of [ZnBr2(4)2] with 1 reveals (1H NMR) that 1 only sluggishly displaces coordinated 4 at temperatures below 50 °C. The structural characterization, via single crystal X-ray diffraction, of six of the complexes, viz. [ZnI2(1)2], [ZnI2(2)2], [ZnX2(3)2] (X = Cl, Br, or I), and [ZnBr2(4)2], is also reported. All of these structurally characterized complexes are mononuclear zinc compounds with an overall distorted tetrahedral arrangement of the two halide and two oxazoline ligands around the zinc metal centre. The oxazoline series of complexes reported herein show little structural diversity, a facet which is in contrast to their substituted pyridine analogues.Key words: oxazoline, zinc, X-ray crystal structure, coordination complex, NMR spectroscopy, Zn(II).

The cubic iron hydroxy boracite Fe3B7O13OH・1.5H2O was synthesized from Fe2O3 and B2O3 under high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 3 GPa and 960 °C in a modified Walker-type multianvil apparatus. The crystal structure was determined at room temperature by X-ray diffraction on single crystals. It crystallizes in the cubic space group F4̄3c (Z = 8) with the parameters a = 1222.4(2) pm, V = 1.826(4) nm3, R1 = 0.0362, and wR2 = 0.0726 (all data). The B-O network is similar to that of other cubic boracites.

N,N′,N″,N‴-Tetraisopropylpyrophosphoramide 1 is a pyrophosphoramide with documented butyrylcholinesterase inhibition, a property shared with the more widely studied octamethylphosphoramide (Schradan). Unlike Schradan, 1 is a solid at room temperature making it one of a few known pyrophosphoramide solids. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and compared with that of other previously described solid pyrophosphoramides. The pyrophosphoramide discussed in this study was synthesised by reacting iso-propyl amine with pyrophosphoryl tetrachloride under anhydrous conditions. A unique supramolecular motif was observed when compared with previously published pyrophosphoramide structures having two different intermolecular hydrogen bonding synthons. Furthermore, the potential of a wider variety of supramolecular structures in which similar pyrophosphoramides can crystallise was recognised. Proton (1H) and Phosphorus 31 (31P) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (MS) were carried out to complete the analysis of the compound.

LATP-based composite electrolytes were prepared by sintering the mixtures of LATP precursor and La2O3 nano-powder. Powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy suggest that La2O3 can react with LATP during sintering to form fine LaPO4 particles that are dispersed in the LATP matrix. The room temperature conductivity initially increases with La2O3 nano-powder addition showing the maximum of 0.69 mS∙cm−1 at 6 wt.%, above which, conductivity decreases with the introduction of La2O3. The activation energy of conductivity is not largely varied with the La2O3 content, suggesting that the conduction mechanism is essentially preserved despite LaPO4 dispersion. In comparison with the previously reported LATP-LLTO system, although some unidentified impurity slightly reduces the conductivity maximum, the fine dispersion of LaPO4 particles can be achieved in the LATP–La2O3 system.

We report the growth and characterization of quaternary AlGaInN. A combination of photoluminescence (PL), high-resolution x-ray diffraction (XRD), and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) characterizations enables us to explore the contours of constant- PL peak energy and lattice parameter as functions of the quaternary compositions. The observation of room temperature PL emission at 351nm (with 20% Al and 5% In) renders initial evidence that the quaternary could be used to provide confinement for GaInN (and possibly GaN). AlGaInN/GaInN MQW heterostructures have been grown; both XRD and PL measurements suggest the possibility of incorporating this quaternary into optoelectronic devices.

Synthesis, isolation, and structural characterization of unique metal rich diamagnetic cobaltaborane clusters are reported. They were obtained from reactions of monoborane as well as modified borohydride reagents with cobalt sources. For example, the reaction of [Cp*CoCl]2 with [LiBH4·THF] and subsequent photolysis with excess [BH3·THF] (THF = tetrahydrofuran) at room temperature afforded the 11-vertex tricobaltaborane nido-[(Cp*Co)3B8H10] (1, Cp* = η5-C5Me5). The reaction of Li[BH2S3] with the dicobaltaoctaborane(12) [(Cp*Co)2B6H10] yielded the 10-vertex nido-2,4-[(Cp*Co)2B8H12] cluster (2), extending the library of dicobaltadecaborane(14) analogues. Although cluster 1 adopts a classical 11-vertex-nido-geometry with one cobalt center and four boron atoms forming the open pentagonal face, it disobeys the Polyhedral Skeletal Electron Pair Theory (PSEPT). Compound 2 adopts a perfectly symmetrical 10-vertex-nido framework with a plane of symmetry bisecting the basal boron plane resulting in two {CoB3} units bridged at the base by two boron atoms and possesses the expected electron count. Both compounds were characterized in solution by multinuclear NMR and IR spectroscopies and by mass spectrometry. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses confirmed the structures of the compounds. Additionally, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed in order to study and interpret the nature of bonding and electronic structures of these complexes.

In the present work, ZIF-8/6FDA-durene mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were synthesized and characterized. ZIF-8 nanocrystals, which were used as the inorganic filler, were synthesized using rapid room-temperature synthesis method whereas 6FDA-durene polyimide was synthesized by polycondensation method followed by chemical imidization. Pure and 6FDA-durene membranes loaded with 5 wt%, 10 wt% and 15 wt% of ZIF-8 were fabricated. The structural properties and morphology of the resultant membranes were characterized by using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) . The EDX images showed that ZIF-8 particles agglomerated in the polymer matrix. However, no phase separation was observed for all resultant MMMs.

AbstractZnO nano-tubes (ZNTs) have been successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal-etching method, and characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and room temperature photoluminescence measurement. The as-synthesized ZNTs have a diameter of 500 nm, wall thickness of 20–30 nm, and length of 5 µm. Intensity of the plane (0002) diffraction peak, compared with that of plane (10$$ \bar 1 $$0) of ZNTs, is obviously lower than that of ZnO nano-rods. This phenomenon can be caused by the smaller cross section of plane (0002) of the nano-tubes compared with that of other morphologies. On basis of the morphological analysis, the formation process of nano-tubes can be proposed in two stages: hydrothermal growth and reaction etching process.
