A short overview of recent results on the effects of pressure (collisions) regarding the shape of isolated infrared lines of water vapour is presented. The first part of this study considers the basic collisional quantities, which are the pressure-broadening and -shifting coefficients, central parameters of the Lorentzian (and Voigt) profile and thus of any sophisticated line-shape model. Through comparisons of measured values with semi-classical calculations, the influences of the molecular states (both rotational and vibrational) involved and of the temperature are analysed. This shows the relatively unusual behaviour of H 2 O broadening, with evidence of a significant vibrational dependence and the fact that the broadening coefficient (in cm −1 atm −1 ) of some lines increases with temperature. In the second part of this study, line shapes beyond the Voigt model are considered, thus now taking ‘velocity effects’ into account. These include both the influence of collisionally induced velocity changes that lead to the so-called Dicke narrowing and the influence of the dependence of collisional parameters on the speed of the radiating molecule. Experimental evidence of deviations from the Voigt shape is presented and analysed. The interest of classical molecular dynamics simulations, to model velocity changes, together with semi-classical calculations of the speed-dependent collisional parameters for line-shape predictions from ‘first principles’, are discussed.

Abstract The ternary compound β-Li2ZnGe was prepared and its structure determined from powder and single crystal data. The compound crystallizes in a modified Na3As type structure, space group Ṗ̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇̇3̄m 1 - D33d.The cell parameters are: a = 432.6 pm, c = 1647.0 pm, c/a= 3.83.A phase transition between a-and β-Li2ZnGe was found and the reaction of the elements lithium, zinc and germanium to a-Li2ZnGe was followed by differential thermal analysis. The temperatures and the enthalpies of transition and fusion were determined.

The new oxynitride of molybdenum, Na5MoO4N was prepared from stoichiometric mixtures of the starting materials MoO2, Na2O2 and NaN3 which were heated in a special regime up to 500°C, and cooled down slowly. Its crystal structure was solved and refined from single crystal data (orthorhombic, Cmcm, a = 991.1(2), b = 574.3(1), c = 1067.7(2) pm, R1 = 0.0153, wR2 = 0.0427). The structure consists of isolated [MoO4N]5− rectangular pyramids which are separated by Na+ cations. This compound is structurally related to Na5WO4N which crystallizes in space group Cmc21

The equiatomic rare earth compounds REPtZn (RE = Y, Pr, Nd, Gd-Tm) were synthesized from the elements in sealed tantalum tubes by high-frequency melting at 1500 K followed by annealing at 1120 K and quenching. The samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The structures of four crystals were refined from single-crystal diffractometer data: TiNiSi type, Pnma, a = 707.1(1), b = 430.0(1), c = 812.4(1) pm, wR2 = 0.066, 602 F2, 21 variables for PrPt1.056Zn0.944; a = 695.2(1), b = 419.9(1), c = 804.8(1) pm, wR2 = 0.041, 522 F2, 21 variables for GdPt0.941Zn1.059; a = 688.2(1), b = 408.1(1), c = 812.5(1) pm, wR2 = 0.041, 497 F2, 22 variables for HoPt1.055Zn0.945; a = 686.9(1), b = 407.8(1), c = 810.4(1) pm, wR2 = 0.061, 779 F2, 20 variables for ErPtZn. The single-crystal data indicate small homogeneity ranges REPt1±xZn1±x. The platinum and zinc atoms build up three-dimensional [PtZn] networks (265 - 269 pm Pt-Zn in ErPtZn) in which the erbium atoms fill cages with coordination number 16 (6 Pt + 6 Zn + 4 Er). Bonding of the erbium atoms to the [PtZn] network proceeds via shorter RE-Pt distances, i. e. 288 - 293 pm in ErPtZn.
