Pressure allows one to explore the energy landscape and the various conformations of macromolecules. This might be one of the most interesting prospects of combining macromolecular crystallography (MX) with pressure perturbation. This paper presents innovations in high-pressure macromolecular crystallography (HPMX). A new-generation diamond anvil cell extends the technical feasibility of HPMX experiments up to about 2.5 GPa (depending on the sample). Thanks to the large useful aperture (82°) provided by this cell and special loading techniques (use of splinter and/or multiple samples), HPMX can now be more readily applied to crystals with very anisotropic habits and/or low-symmetry space groups, as demonstrated by analysis of diffraction data collected at 140 MPa from orthorhombic urate oxidase crystals. The behaviour of hexagonal crystals of an octanucleotide was investigated up to 2 GPa.

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.

AbstractThe mixed cation triel borate Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 was synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus at high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 12.5 GPa and 1300°C. Although the product could not be reproduced in further experiments, its crystal structure could be reliably determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41/a (origin choice 2) with the lattice parameters a = 11.382(2), c = 15.244(2) Å, and V = 1974.9(4) Å3. The structure of the quaternary triel borate consists of a complex network of BO4 tetrahedra, edge-sharing InO6 octahedra in dinuclear units, and very dense edge-sharing GaO6 octahedra in tetranuclear units.

In situ high pressure energy dispersive X-ray diffraction measurements on layered perovskite-like manganate Ca 3 Mn 2 O 7 under pressures up to 35 GPa have been performed by using diamond anvil cell with synchrotron radiation. The results show that the structure of layered perovskite-like manganate Ca 3 Mn 2 O 7 is unstable under pressure due to the easy compression of NaCl-type blocks. The structure of Ca 3 Mn 2 O 7 underwent two phase transitions under pressures in the range of 0~35 GPa. One was at about 1.3 GPa with the crystal structure changing from tetragonal to orthorhombic. The other was at about 9.5 GPa with the crystal structure changing from orthorhombic back to another tetragonal.

The new rare-earth fluoride borates RE2(BO3)F3 (RE=Tb, Dy, Ho) were synthesized under highpressure/ high-temperature conditions of 1:5 GPa=1200 °C for Tb2(BO3)F3 and 3:0 GPa=900 °C for Dy2(BO3)F3 and Ho2(BO3)F3 in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus from the corresponding rareearth sesquioxides, rare-earth fluorides, and boron oxide. The single-crystal structure determinations revealed that the new compounds are isotypic to the known rare-earth fluoride borate Gd2(BO3)F3. The new rare-earth fluoride borates crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/c (Z = 8) with the lattice parameters a=16:296(3), b=6:197(2), c=8:338(2) Å , b =93:58(3)° for Tb2(BO3)F3, a= 16:225(3), b = 6:160(2), c = 8:307(2) Å , b = 93:64(3)° for Dy2(BO3)F3, and a = 16:189(3), b = 6:124(2), c = 8:282(2) Å , β= 93:69(3)° for Ho2(BO3)F3. The four crystallographically different rare-earth cations (CN=9) are surrounded by oxygen and fluoride anions. All boron atoms form isolated trigonal-planar [BO3]3- groups. The six crystallographically different fluoride anions are in a nearly planar coordination by three rare-earth cations.
