New compounds Li6MB3O9 (M=Nd,Sm,Eu,Tm,Er) were synthesized by solid-state reaction. The crystal structure of Li6NdB3O9 was analyzed from both powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction data. The results obtained by powder diffraction analysis and Rietveld refinement are a=7.2725(4) Å, b=16.6398(9) Å, c=6.7529(5) Å, β=105.398(8)°, and space group P21/c, which agree with the results obtained by single crystal diffraction analysis: a=7.2712(4) Å, b=16.6268(9) Å, c=6.7484(4) Å, β=105.411(1)°, and space group P21/c. This compound is isostructural with Li6YB3O9. Single crystal structure analysis showed that the fundamental building unit of these isostructural compounds comprises three isolated [BO3]3− triangles, one distorted [NdO8]13− triangulated dodecahedron, four distorted [LiO5]9− five-coordinated polyhedra, and two [LiO4]7− tetrahedron. An analysis of the infrared spectrum of Li6NdB3O9 confirmed the presence of isolated [BO3]3− triangles in Li6NdB3O9. The remaining four Li6MB3O9 (M=Nd, Sm, Eu, Tm, and Er) compounds were found to be isostructural with Li6NdB3O9. Their unit cell dimensions decrease with an increase in the atomic number of the rare-earth atoms. DTA and TGA measurements of Li6MB3O9 (M=Nd, Sm, Eu, Tm, and Er) revealed that these borates congruently melt from 800 °C to 860 °C.

The crystal structure of [Rh(OH2)6](ClO4)3.3H2O has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and found to be isomorphous with that of M(ClO4)2.6H2O (M= Fe, Zn, Mn, Co, Ni) and LiClO4.3H2O. Crystal: are hexagonal, space group P63mc with unit cell dimensions a 7.817(2) and c 5.208(1) �. The lattice consists of a uniform arrangement of H2O and ClO4- groups with the RhIII centre occupying 1/3 of the octahedral sites formed by the H2O groups. The RhIII is not situated at the centre of the octahedron. However, the two Rh-O distances [2.128(6) and 2.136(6) �] may be considered identical, i.e. within the errors.

AbstractThe new compounds LiK[C(CN)3]2 and Li[C(CN)3]·½ (H3C)2CO were synthesized and their crystal structures were determined. Li[C(CN)3]·½ (H3C)2CO crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Ima2 (no. 46) with the cell parameters a=794.97(14), b=1165.1(2) and c=1485.4(3) pm, while LiK[C(CN)3]2 adopts the monoclinic space group P21/c (no. 14) with the cell parameters a=1265.7(2), b=1068.0(2) and c=778.36(12) pm and the angle β=95.775(7)°. Single crystals of K[C(CN)3] were also acquired, and the crystal structure was refined more precisely than before corroborating earlier results.

The crystal structure of natural diterpenoid alkaloid ranaconitine isolated from Aconitum sinomontanum Nakai has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal presents a monoclinic system, space group C2 with Z = 4, unit cell dimensions a = 30.972(19) Å, b = 7.688(5) Å, and c = 19.632(12) Å. Moreover, the intermolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds and weak π-π interactions play a critical role in expanding the dimensionality.

3,5-Diphenyl-1,2-dithiolium-4-olate (1) reacts with aniline to form 1-phenylimino-2-phenylamino-3-phenylindene (3a). Under suitable conditions, 6-phenylbenzo[b]indeno[1,2-e]-1,2-thiazine is also formed. These structures are confirmed by alternative syntheses. The molecular structure of 3a has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 3a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with unit cell dimensions a = 20.777(3) Å, b = 6.130(3) Å, c = 31.327(3) Å, 3 = 99.59(1)°, and Z = 8. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least squares to a final R = 0.055. The molecular structure of 3a shows the three phenyl containing substituents to have the planes of their ring systems tilted between 40° and 60° from the plane of the indene system due to steric repulsions.

1,3-Diisobutyl thiourea was synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It gives a monoclinic (α=γ= 90 andβ  ≠90) structure with the space group P21/c. The unit cell dimensions area= 11.5131 (4) Å,b= 9.2355 (3) Å,c= 11.3093 (5) Å,α= 90°,β= 99.569° (2),γ= 90°,V= 1185.78 (8) Å3, andZ= 4. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular (N–H⋯S) hydrogen bonding in the molecules. The optimized geometry and Mullikan's charges of the said molecule calculated with the help of DFT using B3LYP-6-311G model support the crystal structure.

The room-temperature crystal structure of the perovskite lead hafnate PbHfO3 is investigated using both low-temperature single crystal X-ray diffraction (Mo Kα radiation, λ = 0.71069 Å) and polycrystalline neutron diffraction (D1A instrument, ILL, λ = 1.90788 Å). Single crystal X-ray data at 100 K: space group Pbam, a = 5.856 (1), b = 11.729 (3), c = 8.212 (2) Å, V = 564.04 Å3 with Z = 8, μ = 97.2 mm−1, F(000) = 1424, final R = 0.038, wR = 0.045 over 439 reflections with F >1.4σ(F). Polycrystalline neutron data at 383 K: a = 5.8582 (3), b = 11.7224 (5), c = 8.2246 (3) Å, V = 564.80 Å3 with χ2 = 1.62. Although lead hafnate has been thought to be isostructural with lead zirconate, no complete structure determination has been reported, as crystal structure analysis in both these materials is not straightforward. One of the main difficulties encountered is the determination of the oxygen positions, as necessary information lies in extremely weak l = 2n + 1 X-ray reflections. To maximize the intensity of these reflections the X-ray data are collected at 100 K with unusually long scans, a procedure which had previously been found successful with lead zirconate. In order to establish that no phase transitions exist between room temperature and 100 K, and hence that the collected X-ray data are relevant to the room-temperature structure, birefringence measurements for both PbZrO3 and PbHfO3 are also reported.

A new Nasicon phosphates series [Na3+xCr2−xCox(PO4)3(0⩽x⩽1)] was synthesized by a coprecipitation method and structurally characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The selected compound Na3.5Cr1.5Co0.5(PO4)3 (x=0.5) crystallizes in the R3c space group with the following hexagonal unit-cell dimensions: ah=8.7285(3) Å, ch=21.580(2) Å, V=1423.8(1) Å3, and Z=6. This three-dimensional framework is built of PO4 tetrahedra and Cr∕CoO6 octahedra sharing corners. Na atoms occupy totally M(1) sites and partially M(2) sites.
