Protonation of the trisulphur trinitride ion, S3N3−, with tetrafluoroboric acid yields the ring-contracted S-amino thiodithiazyl salt, S3N2NH2+BF4−. The crystal and molecular structure of this salt has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are triclinic, space group P1, with a = 5.445(2), b = 7.346(3), c = 9.473(5) Å, α = 85.89(4), β = 83.92(3), γ = 82.13(3)°, V = 372.6(4) Å3, Dc = 2.02 g cm−3, and Z = 2. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to give a final R = 0.060. The structure of the five-membered ring with a single exocyclic NH2 group bonded to sulphur is discussed in relation to other S3N2NR derivatives. The reasons for the instability of six-membered rings of the type S3N3R are discussed in the light of MNDO molecular orbital calculations on an S3N3H model.

Extended Hückel molecular orbital calculations have been performed on localized TiO68− units with the precise geometry of such a unit in solid rutile, anatase, and brookite TiO2 and tetragonal BaTiO3. The relative values of one-electron energy levels in these compounds are obtained in terms of a "self-consistent" charge and population calculation. Examination of the resulting energy levels and charge distributions has led to reasonable explanations of previously unexplained data on (1) the visible and near-ultraviolet absorption spectra of these compounds, (2) the low energy X-ray absorption edges of rutile, anatase, and brookite TiO2, and (3) the pressure dependence of the absorption edges of rutile TiO2 and tetragonal BaTiO3.

Feasibility of isomorphous substitution in electron diffraction is supported by a calculation of the mean alteration of the electron-diffraction structure factors for hemoglobin crystals caused by substituting two mercury atoms per molecule, following Green, Ingram & Perutz, but with allowance for the proportionality of f to Z3/4 for electron diffraction. This yields a mean net change in F of 12.5%, as contrasted with 22.8% for x-ray diffraction.Use of the hydration chamber in electron diffraction opens prospects for examining many proteins that yield only very thin crystals not suitable for x-ray diffraction. Examination in the wet state avoids treatments that could cause translocation of the heavy-atom labels or distortion of the crystal. Combined with low-fluence techniques, it enables study of the protein in a state as close to native as possible.We have undertaken a study of crystals of rat hemoglobin by electron diffraction in the wet state. Rat hemoglobin offers a certain advantage for hydration-chamber work over other hemoglobins in that it can be crystallized from distilled water instead of salt solutions.

Isoguanine, an analogue of guanine, is of intrinsic interest as a noncanonical nucleobase. The crystal structure of isoguaninium chloride (systematic name: 6-amino-2-oxo-1H,7H-purin-3-ium chloride), C5H6N5O+·Cl−, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structure analysis was supported by electrostatic interaction energy (E es) calculations based on charge density reconstructed with the UBDB databank. In the structure, two kinds of molecular tapes are observed, one parallel to (010) and the other parallel to (50\overline{4}). The tapes are formed by dimers of isoguaninium cations interacting with chloride anions. E es analysis indicates that cations in one kind of tape are oriented so as to minimize repulsive electrostatic interactions.
