Abstract The crystal structure of szenicsite, Cu3MoO4(OH)4, orthorhombic, a = 8.5201(8), b = 12.545(1), c = 6.0794(6) Å, V = 649.8(2) Å3, space group Pnnm, Z = 4, has been solved by direct methods and refined by least-squares techniques to an agreement index (R) of 3.34% and a goodness-of-fit (S) of 1.11 for 686 unique observed [|F| ⩾ 4σF] reflections collected using graphite-monochromated Mo-Kα X-radiation and a CCD area detector. The structure contains three unique Cu2+ positions that are each coordinated by six anions in distorted octahedral arrangements; the distortions of the octahedra are due to the Jahn-Teller effect associated with a d 9 metal in an octahedral ligand-field. The single unique Mo6+ position is tetrahedrally coordinated by four O2− anions. The Cu2+ϕ6 (ϕ: unspecified ligand) octahedra share trans edges to form rutile-like chains, three of which join by the sharing of octahedral edges to form triple chains that are parallel to [001]. The MoO4 tetrahedra are linked to either side of the triple chain of Cu2+ϕ6 octahedra by the sharing of two vertices per tetrahedron, and the resulting chains are cross-linked through tetrahedral-octahedral vertex sharing to form a framework structure. The structure of szenicsite is closely related to that of antlerite, Cu3SO4(OH)4, which contains similar triple chains of edge-sharing Cu2+ϕ6 octahedra.

AbstractSingle phase Li5NBr2 was prepared by the reaction of Li3N and dry, OH-free LiBr under inert gas at 430 °C. In the quasi-binary system Li3-2xN1-xBrx, Li5NBr2 is the second most nitride rich compound after Li10N3Br. Following unit cell indexing using laboratory X-ray powder data the previously unknown structure of Li5NBr2 was solved from neutron powder diffraction data recorded at the flat-cone and powder diffractometer E2 at the rebuilt reactor BERII in Berlin. The title compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Immm (No. 71), a = 603.79(4), b = 1181.3(1), c = 390.14(3) pm with two formula units per unit cell. The L i-N -sublattice comprises linear chains of vertex sharing Li6N-octahedra which are aligned along the short c-axis and are separated by chains of bromine atoms. The N-Br arrangement may be regarded as an ordered AX2 variant of a cubic close packing involving two kinds of atoms. Lithium atoms occupy the tetrahedral holes formed by one nitrogen and three bromine atoms, as well as the N - N edges of the N2Br2 tetrahedra.
