The synthesis and room temperature structural characterization of the title compound [AgL2]+(C104)-, L= 2,6-diacetylpyridine, are reported. Crystals are orthorhombic, Pcan, a 19.629(7), b 14.603(4) and c 14.469(4) � , Z = 8; R was 0.050 for 1987 'observed' reflections. The structure contains two independent [AgL2]+ species, the central nitrogen atoms of the quasi-tridentate ligands being opposed in the coordination spheres of the silver atoms. Both have crystallographically imposed 2 symmetry; in one, this is normal to the N-Ag-N line [actual bond angle, 175.6(2); Ag-N, 2.316(6), Ag-O, 2.589(7) and 2.522(7) � ], relating the two ligands. In the other, it is coincident; for one ligand Ag-N and Ag-O are 2.285(8) and 2.500(8) � , while for the other the two values are 2.271(8) and 2.543(7) �. The silver-nitrogen distances are appreciably longer than the value of 2.166(4) � found for the [Ag( py )2]+ cation.

The room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structural characterization of the title compound (tpyH2)2[Tb(OH2)8]Cl7.~2⅓H2O is recorded. Crystals are triclinic, Pī , a 17.063(5), b 16.243(3), c 7.878(3) Ǻ, α 84.78(2), β 84.39(3), γ 87.81(2)°, Z = 2 formula units; 3167 'observed' diffractometer reflections were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a residual of 0.057. Notable features of interest of the compound are the 'chelation' of chloride ions by the terpyridinium cations , and the existence of a free [Tb(OH2)8]2+ cation in the presence of an abundance of chloride ions.

Mixed base pyridine (py)/triphenylphosphine adducts of the copper(1) halides, CuX, have been synthesized for 1 : 1 : 1 stoichiometry for X = chloride and iodide; single-crystal X-ray structure determinations of these show them to be isomorphous and isostructural with that of the bromide recorded elsewhere, being �,�′- dihalo-bridged dimers , [(PPh3)( py )CuX2Cu( py )(PPh3)], monoclinic, C2/c, a ≈ 26.2, b ≈ 14.3, c ≈ 11 .2 � , β ≈ 95, Z = 4 dimers. The bromide has been isolated as a new monoclinic C 2/m polymorph, a 11 .279(8), b 14.268(6), c 13.858(4) �, β 109.33(6)�, Z=4 dimers, and details of its structure are also recorded. The structures of their pyridine-4-carbonitrile (pycn) analogues have also been determined and found to be also binuclear, with no cyano-copper interactions; these also are an isomorphous, isostructural series, monoclinic P21/n, a ≈ 15.4, b ≈ 8.1, c ≈ 17.9 � , β ≈ 101 �, Z = 2 dimers. In each series of dimers, one half of the dimer is crystallographically independent, the generators of the other half being twofold rotor (C2/c phase), mirror (C2/m phase) and inversion centre (P21/n phase) respectively.

The synthesis, chemical and structural characterization of a series of pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp*) tantalum imido complexes and aryloxide derivatives are presented. Specifically, the imido complexes Cp*Ta(N t Bu)(CH2 R)2, where R = Ph [dibenzyl(tert-butylamido) (η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)tantalum(IV) (1)], Me2Ph [tert-butylamido)bis(2-methyl-2-phenylpropyl) (η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)tantalum(IV) (2)], CMe3 [(tert-butylamido)bis(2,2-dimethylpropyl) (η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)tantalum(IV) (3)], are reported. The crystal structure of (3) reveals α-agostic interactions with the Ta atom. The resulting increase in the tantalum core coordination improves electronic stability. As such it does not react with pentafluorophenol, in contrast to the other two reported imido complexes [(1) and (2)]. Addition of C6F5OH to (1) yields a dimeric aryl-oxide derivative, [Cp*Ta(CH2Ph)(OC6H5)(μ-O)]2 [di-μ-oxido-bis[benzyl(pentafluorophenolato) (η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)tantalum(V)] (4)]. Its crystal structure reveals long Ta—O(C6H5) bonds but short oxo-bridging Ta—O bonds. This is explained by accounting for the fierce electronic competition for the vacant d π orbitals of the electrophilic TaV centre. Steric congestion around each metal is alleviated by a large twist angle (77.1°) between the benzyl and pentafluorophenyl ligands and the ordering of each of these groups into stacked pairs. The imido complex (2) reacts with C6F5OH to produce a mixture of Cp*Ta(OC6F5)4 [tetrakis(pentafluorophenolato)(η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)tantalum(V) (5)] and [Cp*Ta(OC6F5)2(μ-O)]2 [di-μ-oxido-bis[bis(pentafluorophenolato)(η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)tantalum(V)] (6)]. Steric congestion is offset in both cases by the twisting of its pentafluorophenyl ligands. Particularly strong electronic competition for the empty d π metal orbitals in (6) is reflected in its bond geometry, and owes itself to the more numerous electron-withdrawing pentafluorophenyl ligands. The balance of steric and electronic factors affecting the reactivity of Cp* tantalum imido based complexes with pentafluorophenol is therefore addressed.

The aim of this work was analysis of isothermal sintering of zinc titanate ceramics doped with MgO obtained by mechanical activation. Mixtures of ZnO, TiO2 and MgO (0, 1.25 and 2.5%) were mechanically activated 15 minutes in a planetary ball mill. The powders obtained were pressed under different pressures and the results were fitted with a phenomenological compacting equation. Isothermal sintering was performed in air for 120 minutes at four different temperatures. Structural characterization of ZnO-TiO2-MgO system after milling was performed at room temperature using XRPD measurements. DTA measurements showed different activation energies for pure and doped ZnO-TiO2 systems. Thus addition of MgO stabilizes the crystal structure of zinc titanate.

The syntheses and room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structural characterization of binuclear 1 : 2 adducts formed between silver(I) (pseudo-)halides, AgX, and triphenylarsine, AsPh3, for X = Cl, Br, I, SCN (1)–(4), are described. The chloride (1), obtained from 2-methylpyridine, is triclinic, P-1, a 10·410(2), b 12·716(2), c 14·196(6) Å, α 113·38(2), β 109·41(2), γ 75·08(1)°, Z = 1 (dimer); conventional R on F was 0·037 for No 3979 independent ‘observed’ (I > 3σ(I)) reflections. The bromide (2a), obtained from 2,6-dimethylpyridine, and iodide (3), obtained from a mixture of AgI/saturated KI in MeOH solutions, are isomorphous, monoclinic, P 21/c a≈ 24·2, b ≈ 13·9, c ≈ 20·2 Å, β ≈ 109·5°, Z = 4 dimers; R was 0·046 and 0·044 for No 5670 and 6039 respectively. The thiocyanate (4) has a similar cell, a 24·12(1), b 12·558(8), c 23·244(4) Å, β 110·11(3)°, Z = 4 dimers, R being 0·044 for No 7956; one of the thiocyanate ligands (which bridge in Ag-SCN-Ag mode) is disordered. A second polymorph of the bromide (2b) (from a mixture of AgBr/saturated KBr in H2O) is also monoclinic, P 21/c, a 14·121(8), b 25·577(3), c 21·968(2) Å, β 125·54(3)°, Z = 4 dimers (R was 0·047 for No 5715). Ag–As range between 2·568(1) and 2·633(1) Å throughout the series; in the isomorphous bromide and iodide, values increase slightly: 2·578(1)–2·611(1), cf. 2·601(2)-2·633(1) Å respectively. Ag–X are 2·568(2)-2·670(2) (Cl); 2·688(2)–2·715(2) (Br); 2·828(2)–2·856(1) Å (I); Ag-S, N for the ordered SCN group are 2·646(3), 2·255(6) Å. A redetermination of improved precision (R 0·035, No 6030) is reported for the triphenylphosphine/thiocyanate analogue. The far-infrared spectra of [(Ph3As)2Ag(µ-X)2Ag (AsPh3)2] show v(AgX) bands at 185, 145 (X = Cl), 145, 130, 106 (X = Br) and 121 cm-1 (X = I). The splittings and band widths reflect a decrease in the degree of distortion of the Ag(µ-X)2Ag units from a symmetrically bridged structure from X = Cl to I.

The crystal structure of [C13H10N] [CuCl3(C13H9N)].H2O(C13H9N ≡ acridine ) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K, being refined by least squares to a residual of 0.037 for 1942 independent 'observed' reflections. Crystals are triclinic, Pī , a 16.27(2), b 10.080(8), c 7.236(5) Ǻ, α 88.85(6), β 82.68(8), γ 81.12(9)°, Z 2. The metal atom stereochemistry is unusual, being of pseudo-m symmetry; one of the chlorine atoms is coplanar with the copper and the acridine [Cu- Cl 2.237(2) Ǻ, N-Cu- Cl 143.5(1)°], with the other two disposed to either side of that plane [Cu- Cl 2.252(3), 2.243(2) Ǻ; Cl-Cu-Cl 145.62(7)°]. Cu-N is 2.018(5) Ǻ.

Syntheses and room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structural characterization of binuclear 1 : 2 adducts formed between silver(I) halides, AgX (X = Cl, Br, I), and triphenylstibine, SbPh3, are described. The three complexes are isomorphous, being triclinic, P-1, a ≈ 18·5, b ≈ 14·6, c ≈ 14·5 Å, α ≈ 62·5, β ≈ 74, γ ≈ 77°, Z = 2 centrosymmetric dimers. Conventional R on F were 0·043, 0·038 and 0·046 for 4984, 8479 and 4166 independent, ‘observed’ (I > 3σ(I)) reflections respectively. In [(Ph3b)2Ag(µ-X)2Ag(SbPh3)2], Ag–Sb range between 2·702(1) and 2·744(2) Å, lengthening slightly from chloride to iodide; Ag–X are 2·567(5)–2·628(4) (Cl), 2·684(1)–2·737(1) (Br) and 2·826(3)–2·869(3) Å (I). The far-infrared spectra of [(Ph3Sb)2Ag(µ-X)2Ag(SbPh3)2] show v(AgX) bands at 178, 158 (X = Cl), 121 (X = Br) and 110 cm-1 (X = I). The splittings and band widths reflect a decrease in the degree of distortion of the Ag(µ-X)2Ag units from a symmetrically bridged structure from X = Cl to I.

Redetermination of the room-temperature crystal structures of mononuclear chloro- and bromo-pyridinebis ( triphenylphosphine )silver(I) (previously described in space group P21/m) and di-μ-iodo-bis [(pyridine)( triphenylphosphine )silver(I)](previously described in space group C2/m), consequent upon the availability of crystals of improved quality, has permitted the reassignment of space groups as P21/a (with doubled a axis) and C2/c respectively, by virtue of the facilitated detection of weak superlattice reflections. Crystals of [ Cl,BrAg ( py )(PPh3)2] are monoclinic, P21/a, a ≈ 19.6, b ≈ 20.0, c ≈ 9.1Ǻ, β ≈ 97.5°, Z = 4; the structures were refined to residuals of 0.034 and 0.040 for 2965 and 2315 'observed' reflections respectively. [(PPh3)( py )AgI2Ag( py )(PPh3)] is monoclinic, C2/c, a 27.145(6), b 14.548(3), c 11.316(4)Ǻ, β 94.83(2)°, Z 4, refining to R 0.035 for 1892 'observed' reflections, and isomorphous with the [(PPh3)( py )CuX2Cu( py )(PPh3)] family. In spite of this reassignment, the previous descriptions of the AgX /N/P cores of the species are essentially unchanged, the previous residuals of the misassigned space group determinations being comparable with the present; the only non- trivial change lies in the fact that the disordered phenyl rings of the earlier work are now fully ordered. It now seems certain that the 'second polymorph' of [(PPh3)( py )CuBr2Cu( py )(PPh3)], recorded as being isomorphous with its C2/m silver iodide counterpart, is spurious and a consequence of the use of an inferior specimen.
