Complexes obtained by the reaction of uranium pentabromide with triphenylphosphine and with ethane-1,2-diylbis(diphenylarsine) (Ph2AsCH2CH2AsPh2) have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure determination at 295 K and shown to be [Ph3PCMe2CH2C(O)Me]2- [Ubr6](1) and [Ubr4(Ph2As(O)CH2CH2AsPh2)2] (2). Crystals of (1) are orthorhombic, Pbca, a 20.46(1), b 16.033(8), c 15.663(10) �, Z 4, the structure being refined to a residual of 0.07 for 990 independent reflections; in the centrosymmetric anion, U-Br distances range from 2.750(5) to 2.803(5) �. Crystals of (2) are monoclinic, P21/c, a 12.64(1), b 10.870(6), c 20.81(2) �, 110.88(2)�, Z 2, the structure being refined to a residual of 0.05 for 1531 independent reflections. In the centrosymmetric molecule, U-Br distances are 2.806(4) and 2.811(4) �; the diarsine oxide ligand is unidentate, coordinated through the oxygen rather than the arsenic with U-O 2.19(1) �.

Protein microcrystals magnetically aligned in D2O hydrogels were subjected to neutron diffraction measurements, and reflections were observed for the first time to a resolution of 3.4 Å from lysozyme microcrystals (∼10 × 10 × 50 µm). This result demonstrated the possibility that magnetically oriented microcrystals consolidated in D2O gels may provide a promising means to obtain single-crystal neutron diffraction from proteins that do not crystallize at the sizes required for neutron diffraction structure determination. In addition, lysozyme microcrystals aligned in H2O hydrogels allowed structure determination at a resolution of 1.76 Å at room temperature by X-ray diffraction. The use of gels has advantages since the microcrystals are measured under hydrated conditions.

A series of phosphino triazoles are disclosed, within which, the phosphorus atom is appended by one, two or three triazole motifs. Gold(I) chloride complexes of the synthesised ligands were prepared and analysed by techniques including single crystal X-ray diffraction structure determination. <i>SambVca</i> (2.0) was used to determine percentage buried volumes. The effectiveness of these gold(I) chloride complexes to serve as precatalysts for alkyne hydration were assessed.<br>

The treatment of methyl 2,6-di-O-methyl-3,4-O-thiocarbonyl-β-D-galactoside with methyl iodide gives mainly the 3-deoxy-3-iodo-D-guloside , whereas the α- anomer of the above and methyl 2-O-methyl-3,4- O- thiocarbonyl-β-L-arabinoside give mainly the 4-deoxy-4-iodo-D- glycosides. An explanation is given for these and some previously reported results. As well, two of the above cyclic thiocarbonates (β-D-galacto and β-L- arabino), together with two cyclic thiocarbonates derived from methyl α-D- mannopyranoside, when treated with tributyltin hydride, gave mixtures (nearly 1:1) of products resulting from deoxygenation . Single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure determination of the β-D- galacto and the β-L- arabino cyclic thiocarbonates showed both pyranose rings to be in the 4C1 conformation.

The treatment of various thiols, phenols and amines with Viehe's salt (Me2N+=CCl2 Cl -), followed by addition to sodium hydrogen selenide in ethanol, can lead to useful syntheses of compounds containing the selenocarbonyl group, namely selenothiocarbamates, selenodithiocarbonates, selenothiocarbonates and selenoureas . As well, the combination of Viehe's salt/sodium hydrogen selenide allows the conversion of some carbohydrate cis vicinal diols into novel cyclic selenocarbonates, and a single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure determination of one of these selenocarbonates is reported. The treatment of these selenocarbonates with methyl iodide and various phosphorus reagents is reported, as well as some unsuccessful attempts towards tellurocarbonates and telluroureas.

The treatment of some monosaccharides and their derivatives with a,a-dimethoxytoluene and an acid catalyst in dimethylformamide at about 80° can lead to selective benzylidenation , e.g. methyl a-D- mannopyranoside gives mainly methyl 4,6-Obenzylidene-a-D-mannoside, together with two other minor monobenzylidene derivatives (2,3-) and two minor dibenzylidene derivatives (2,3:4,6-). The treatment of various other pyranoses and pyranosides is also described. As well, a 1H n.m.r . study of the acid transformation of some of the above α-D- mannosides is reported, together with a single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure determination of a novel monobenzylidene derivative, namely methyl (S)- 2,3-O-benzylidene-α-D-mannopyranoside.

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.

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.

Small single crystals of the Sm5Ge4-type (space group Pnma) germanides RE2Nb3Ge4 (RE = Sc, Y, Gd-Er, Lu) and Sc2Ta3Ge4 were synthesized by arc-melting of the respective elements. The samples were characterized by powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In all structures, except for Sc2.04Nb2.96Ge4 and Sc2.19Ta2.81Ge4, the rare earth and niobium atoms show full ordering on the three crystallographically independent samarium sites of the Sm5Ge4 type. Two sites with coordination number 6 are occupied by niobium, while the slightly larger site with coordination number 7 is filled with the rare earth element. Small homogeneity ranges with RE=Nb and RE=Ta mixing can be expected for all compounds. The ordered substitution of two rare earth sites by niobium or tantalum has drastic effects on the coordination number and chemical bonding. This was studied for the pair Y5Ge4/Y2Nb3Ge4. Electronic structure calculations show larger charge transfer from yttrium to germanium for Y5Ge4, contrary to Y2Nb3Ge4 which shows stronger covalent bonding due to the presence of Nb replacing Y at two sites

The crystal structure of the title compound [EuCl2(OH2)2]Cl ('europium trichloride hexahydrate') has been redetermined from single-crystal diffractometer data at 295 K and refined to a residual of 0.040 for 1094 independent 'observed' reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, P2/n, a 9.659(3), b 6.529(2), c 7.936(4) �, β 93.67(4)�, Z 2. The europium atom lies on a crystallographic twofold axis, which passes between the two planes of a square-antiprismatic coordination environment in which the two chlorine atoms, on opposite faces, lie cis to each other. Eu-O distances range from 2.401(6) to 2.431(5) �; Eu-Cl is 2.774(2) �.
