The crystal structure of racemic dimethyl (4RS,5RS)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-4,5-dihydroisoxazole-4,5-dicarboxylate, C13H12N2O7, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. By analysing the degree of growth of the morphologically important crystal faces, a ranking of the most relevant non-covalent interactions determining the crystal structure can be inferred. The morphological information is considered with an approach opposite to the conventional one: instead of searching inside the structure for the potential key interactions and using them to calculate the crystal habit, the observed crystal morphology is used to define the preferential lines of growth of the crystal, and then this information is interpreted by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Comparison with the X-ray structure confirms the validity of the strategy, thus suggesting this top–down approach to be a useful tool for crystal engineering.

Abstract The new macrocyclic complexes of composition Rb(18-crown-6)AuX4 (X = Cl (1) and CN (2)) have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography (1: monoclinic, space group P21/n, with a = 8.747(1), b = 8.366(1), c = 15.404(1) Å; β = 104.37(1)°, V = 1092.0(3) Å3 , Z = 2; final R1 =0.025 for 2030 independent reflections used; 2: monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 14.765(3), 6 = 17.134(3), c = 8.855(2) Å; β = 90.20(1)°, V = 2240.2(8) Å3, Z = 4; final R1 = 0.080 for 2034 independent reflections used). Both structures consist of Rb(18-crown-6)+ cations (A) and complex aurate(III) anions AuX4- (B). Complex 1 has a linear polymeric array -A-B-A-B-(Rb-Cl 3.604(3), 3.654(3) Å) with the rubidium ions disordered 0.276(2) Å above and below the crown ether plane (Rb-O 2.819(5)-2.884(5) Å, av. 2.846(5) Å). The positioning of the rubidium atom away from the center of the 18-crown-6 is effected by the packing of the Rb(18-crown-6)+ and AuCl4- moieties, and by the resemblance in the charge and symmetry of the cationic and anionic parts of the structure. Complex 2 has a zig-zag polymeric array -A-B-A-B-(Rb-N 2.92(2), 2.94(1) Å) with orthogonal disposition of Rb(18-crown-6)+ and Au(CN)4- planes. The rubidium atom is situated 0.90(2) Å above the mean plane of the macrocyclic oxygen atoms (Rb-O 2.93(5)-3.15(4) Å) and adopts a typical “sunrise coordination”.

From X-ray analysis, the conclusions are drawn from averaged molecular informations. Thus, limitations are caused when analyzing systems whose symmetry is reduced due to interatomic interactions. In contrast, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) directly images atomic scale surface electron density distribution, with a resolution up to fractions of Angstrom units. The crucial point is the correlation between the electron density distribution and the localization of individual atoms, which is reasonable in many cases. Thus, the use of STM images for crystal structure determination may be permitted. We tried to apply RuCl3 - a layered material with semiconductive properties - for such STM studies. From the X-ray analysis it has been assumed that α-form of this compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m (AICI3 type). The chlorine atoms form an almost undistorted cubic closed package while Ru occupies 2/3 of the octahedral holes in every second layer building up a plane hexagon net (graphite net). Idealizing the arrangement of the chlorines a hexagonal symmetry would be expected. X-ray structure determination of isotypic compounds e.g. IrBr3 leads only to averaged positions of the metal atoms as there exist extended stacking faults of the metal layers.

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.
