The reactions of nickelocene with pyrazoles in benzene solution have resulted in the isolation of either dimeric compounds, [CpNi(μ-pz′)]2, (room temperature conditions) or trimetallic complexes, [CpNi(μ-pz″)2]2Ni, (elevated temperature conditions). Both dimeric and trimetallic species were obtained as red crystalline materials and X-ray structural investigations are reported for representative samples of each type. Structural features are interpreted and compared with similar, previously reported, nickel pyrazolate structures. Crystals of [CpNi(3,5-diMepz)]2 (C20H24N4Ni2), 1, are orthorhombic, a = 15.204(1), b = 17.967(2), c = 6.9786(9) Å, Z = 4, space group Ama2; those of [CpNi(4-NO2-3,5-diMepz)]2 (C20H22N6Ni2O2), 5, are orthorhombic, a = 17.145(3), b = 17.738(1), c = 7.006(1) Å, Z = 4, space group P212121; those of [CpNi(3,5-F6diMepz)]2 (C20H12F12N4Ni2), 6, are orthorhombic, a = 18.7134(8), b = 15.619(2), c = 7.7263(9) Å, Z = 4, space group Pnma; those of [CpNi(3,5-diMepz)2]2Ni (C30H38N8Ni3), 7, are triclinic, a = 10.078(2), b = 16.134(2), c = 9.992(1) Å, α = 91.586(10)°, β = 111.050(9)°, γ = 86.95(1)°, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text]; and those of [CpNi(4-Cl-3,5-diMepz)2]2Ni (C30H34Cl4N8Ni3), 10, are monoclinic, a = 10.2201(7), b = 16.174(1), c = 10.7207(9) Å, β = 108.193(5)°, Z = 2, space group P21/a. The structures were solved by direct (dimetallic species) or Patterson (trimetallic complexes) methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.035, 0.032, 0.058, 0.032, and 0.033 (Rw = 0.021, 0.026, 0.053, 0.028, and 0.032) for 1157, 1894, 1642, 4499, and 2113 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(F2), respectively. Keywords: crystal structures, nickel, nickelocene, pyrazolates, cyclopentadienyl.

Crystallographic structures of two new orthophosphates Ca0.50SbFe(PO4)3 and CaSb0.50Fe1.50(PO4)3 obtained by conventional solid state reaction techniques at 900 °C, were determined at room temperature from X-ray powder diffraction using Rietveld analysis. The two compounds belong to the Nasicon structural family. The space group is R3 for Ca0.50SbFe(PO4)3 and R3c for CaSb0.50Fe1.50(PO4)3. Hexagonal cell parameters for Ca0.50SbFe(PO4)3 and CaSb0.50Fe1.50(PO4)3 are: a=8.257(1) Å, c=22.276(2) Å, and a=8.514(1) Å, c=21.871(2) Å, respectively. Ca2+ and vacancies in {[Ca0.50]3a[◻0.50]3b}M1SbFe(PO4)3 are ordered within the two positions, 3a and 3b, of M1 sites. Structure refinements show also a quasi-ordered distribution of Sb5+ and Fe3+ ions within the Nasicon framework. Thus, in {[Ca0.50]3a[◻0.50]3b}M1SbFe(PO4)3, each Ca(3a)O6 octahedron shares two faces with two Fe3+O6 octahedra and each vacancy (◻(3b)O6) site is located between two Sb5+O6 octahedra. In [Ca]M1Sb0.50Fe1.50(PO4)3 compound (R3c space group), all M1 sites are occupied by Ca2+ and the Sb5+ and Fe3+ ions are randomly distributed within the Nasicon framework.

The donor-free silanimines tBu2Si=N-SiRtBu2 (R = tBu, Ph), which are prepared from tBu2ClSiN3 and NaSiRtBu2 at −78 ◦C inBu2O, decompose in benzene at room temperature with the formation of isobutene. Products of ene reactions of isobutene and tBu2Si=N-SiRtBu2 (R = tBu, Ph) are formed. X-Ray quality crystals of H2C=C(CH2SitBu2-NH-SiPhtBu2)2 (monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z = 4) were grown from a benzene solution at ambient temperature, whereas single crystals of H2C=C(CH2SitBu2-NH-SitBu3)2 (monoclinic, space group P21, Z = 2) were obtained by recrystallization from THF

The hydrothermal synthesis and both the chemical and structural characterization of a diamin iron phosphate are reported. A new synthetic route, by using n-butylammonium dihydrogen phosphate as a precursor, leads to the largest crystals described thus far for this compound. Its crystal structure is determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system (Pnma space group, a = 10.1116(2) Å, b = 6.3652(1) Å, c = 7.5691(1) Å, Z = 4) at room temperature and, below 220 K, changes towards the monoclinic system P21/n, space group. The in situ powder X-ray thermo-diffraction monitoring for the compound, between room temperature and 1100 K, is also included. Thermal analysis shows that the solid is stable up to ca. 440 K. The kinetic analysis of thermal decomposition (hydrogenated and deuterated forms) is performed by using the isoconversional methods of Vyazovkin and a modified version of Friedman. Similar values for the kinetic parameters are achieved by both methods and they are checked by comparing experimental and calculated conversion curves.

The crystal structures of the chiolite-related room temperature phases α-Na5M3F14 (MIII=Cr,Fe,Ga) are determined. For all of them, the space group is P21/n, Z=2; a=10.5096(3) Å, b=7.2253(2) Å, c=7.2713(2) Å, β=90.6753(7)° (M=Cr); a=10.4342(7) Å, b=7.3418(6) Å, c=7.4023(6) Å, β=90.799(5)° (M=Fe), and a=10.4052(1) Å, b=7.2251(1) Å, c=7.2689(1), β=90.6640(4)° (M=Ga). Rietveld refinements produce final RF factors 0.036, 0.033, and 0.035, and RWP factors, 0.125, 0.116, and 0.096, for MIII=Cr, Fe, and Ga, respectively. The MF6 polyhedra in the defective isolated perovskite-like layers deviate very few from perfect octahedra. Subtle octahedra tiltings lead to the symmetry decrease from the P4/mnc space group adopted by the Na5Al3F14 chiolite aristotype to the P21/n space group adopted by the title series. Facile twinning precluded till now the precise characterization of these compounds.

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper enzymes discovered within the last 10 years. By degrading recalcitrant substrates oxidatively, these enzymes are major contributors to the recycling of carbon in nature and are being used in the biorefinery industry. Recently, two new families of LPMOs have been defined and structurally characterized, AA14 and AA15, sharing many of previously found structural features. However, unlike most LPMOs to date, AA14 degrades xylan in the context of complex substrates, while AA15 is particularly interesting because they expand the presence of LPMOs from the predominantly microbial to the animal kingdom. The first two neutron crystallography structures have been determined, which, together with high-resolution room temperature X-ray structures, have putatively identified oxygen species at or near the active site of LPMOs. Many recent computational and experimental studies have also investigated the mechanism of action and substrate-binding mode of LPMOs. Perhaps, the most significant recent advance is the increasing structural and biochemical evidence, suggesting that LPMOs follow different mechanistic pathways with different substrates, co-substrates and reductants, by behaving as monooxygenases or peroxygenases with molecular oxygen or hydrogen peroxide as a co-substrate, respectively.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the physical stability as well as viscoelastic properties of the binary amorphous ezetimibe–simvastatin system. According to our knowledge, this is the first time that such an amorphous composition is prepared and investigated. The tendency toward re-crystallization of the amorphous ezetimibe–simvastatin system, at both standard storage and elevated temperature conditions, have been studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD). Our investigations have revealed that simvastatin remarkably improves the physical stability of ezetimibe, despite the fact that it works as a plasticizer. Pure amorphous ezetimibe, when stored at room temperature, begins to re-crystallize after 14 days after amorphization. On the other hand, the ezetimibe-simvastatin binary mixture (at the same storage conditions) is physically stable for at least 1 year. However, the devitrification of the binary amorphous composition was observed at elevated temperature conditions (T = 373 K). Therefore, we used a third compound to hinder the re-crystallization. Finally, both the physical stability as well as viscoelastic properties of the ternary systems containing different concentrations of the latter component have been thoroughly investigated.

The exhaustive hydroboration of the (C ≡ C )-groups in Me2Si(C ≡ CMe)2 (A ) by adding ethyldiboranes(6) at room temperature is presumed to lead initially to the formation of a mixture of the threo- and erythro-3,3,5,6-tetrakis(diethylboryl)-4,4-dimethyl-4-silaheptanes (1a , b). The threo-1a reacts further by borane catalysed intermolecular condensation to the substituted disilatetraboratricyclo[6.2.1.16.9]dodecane 2 with the formula , whose crystal structure [space group C2/c, a = 19.696(2), b = 10.371(1), c = 16.580(2) Å; β = 125.90(1)°; at 122 K] has been established by X -ray diffraction. In contrast, the erythro-1b undergoes intramolecular, thermal elimination of Et3B to give the 1,2-diethyl-2,4-bis(diethylboryl)- 3,3,5-trim ethyl-3-silaborolane (4). If A is added to an excess of undiluted B (“hydridebath”), then the two substituted diastereomers of the 1-carba-arachno-pentaboranes(10) (endo/exo-Et,SiH Me2) (3a, b), are formed preferentially as the result of an initial Si-C ≡-c le a v e d hydroboration.
