AbstractThe structures of tokkoite, K2Ca4[Si7O18OH](OH,F) and tinaksite, K2Ca2NaTi[Si7O18OH]O from the Murun massif (Russia) were refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data in the triclinic space group P1̄. Average crystallographic data are a ≈ 10.423, b ≈ 12.477, c ≈ 7.112 Å, α ≈ 89.92°, β ≈ 99.68°, γ ≈ 92.97°, V ≈ 910.5 Å3 for tokkoite; a ≈ 10.373, b ≈ 12.176, c ≈ 7.057 Å, α ≈ 90.82°, β ≈ 99.22°, γ ≈ 92.80°, V ≈ 878.5 Å3 for tinaksite. The substantial similarities between the geometrical parameters of the tokkoite and tinaksite structures led us to conclude that the two minerals are isostructural. However, major differences of tokkoite with respect to tinaksite are larger lattice constants, especially concerning the b parameter, longer <M–O> distances, especially <M1–O>; larger values of the M1–M3 and O20–O2 bond lengths, and a stronger distortion of the M1 polyhedron. Mössbauer analysis showed that significant trivalent iron is present, VIFe3+ 40.0(7)% in tokkoite and 12.8(3)% in tinaksite. It is confirmed that 2Ca(M1+M2)2+ + (F,OH)(O20)–↔ Ti(M1)4+ + Na(M2)+ + O(O20)– is the exchange reaction that describes the relation between tokkoite and tinaksite. In addition, this exchange reaction causes local stress involving mainly the M1 site and its interaction with the M2 and M3 sites.

An improved synthesis for [VCl2(N3S2)]∞, was found in the reaction of VOCl3 with (NSCl)3; when the reaction is performed in H2CCl2 and (NSCl)3 is used in excess, the thiazyl-solvate [VCl2(N3S2) · NSCl]2 is obtained. [VCl2(N3S2)] reacts with AsPh4Cl to form (AsPh4)2[VCl3(N 3S2)]2; this reacts with AgN3 in CH2Cl2 suspension to yield (AsPh4)2[V (N3)3(N3S2)]2 · CH2Cl2. The compounds were characterized by their IR and 51V NMR spectra. The latter are compared with new 51V NMR data for [VO2Cl2]⊖ and [VOCl4]⊖ ; a decrease of 51V shielding in the order [VO2Cl2]⊖ > [VOCl4]⊖ > [VX3(N3S2)]22⊖ (X - N3 > Cl) is found, which is interpreted in terms of increasing polarizability of the ligands and of ring contributions to the extreme deshielding observed with the thiazenovanadates.The crystal structure of (AsPh4)2[V(N3)3(N3S2)]2 · CH2Cl2 was determined from X-ray diffraction data (1496 observed reflexions, R = 0.058). It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1̄ with one formula unit per unit cell and with the lattice constants a - 1087, b = 1317, c = 1350 pm, α = 58.8, β = 85.9, γ = 68.0°. The structure consists of AsPh4⊕ ions, CH2Cl2 molecules and centrosymmetric [V(N3)3(N3S2)]22⊖ anions. In the latter. N3S2 ligands are bonded to the V atoms in a chelate manner with short V = N bonds (189 and 172 pm) forming planar VN3S2 rings. The dimerization is accomplished by V -N donor-acceptor interactions (224 pm) involving one N atom of each VN3S2 ring. The vanadium coordination number of 6 is com pleted by three azido groups with V -N bond distances of 200 to 204 pm.

The crystal structure redetermination of Sr2PdO3 (distrontium palladium trioxide) was carried out using high-quality single-crystal X-ray data. The Sr2PdO3 structure has been described previously in at least three reports [Wasel-Nielen & Hoppe (1970). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 375, 209–213; Muller & Roy (1971). Adv. Chem. Ser. 98, 28–38; Nagata et al. (2002). J. Alloys Compd. 346, 50–56], all based on powder X-ray diffraction data. The current structure refinement of Sr2PdO3, as compared to previous powder data refinements, leads to more precise cell parameters and fractional coordinates, together with anisotropic displacement parameters for all sites. The compound is confirmed to have the orthorhombic Sr2CuO3 structure type (space group Immm) as reported previously. The structure consists of infinite chains of corner-sharing PdO4 plaquettes interspersed by SrII atoms. A brief comparison of Sr2PdO3 with the related K2NiF4 structure type is given.

The crystal structure of magnesium zinc divanadate, MgZnV2O7, was determined and refined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. The title compound was synthesized by a solid-state reaction at 1023 K in air. The crystal structure is isotypic with Mn0.6Zn1.4V2O7 (C2/m; Z = 6) and is related to the crystal structure of thortveitite. The asymmetric unit contains two metal sites with statistically distributed magnesium and zinc atoms with the atomic ratio close to 1:1. One (Mg/Zn) metal site (M1) is located on Wyckoff position 8j and the other (M2) on 4h. Three V sites (all on 4i), and eight O (three 8j, four 4i, and one 2b) sites complete the asymmetric unit. The structure is an alternate stacking of V2O7 layers and (Mg/Zn) atom layers along [20\overline{1}]. It is distinct from other related structures in that each V2O7 layer consists of two groups: a V2O7 dimer and a V4O14 tetramer. Mixed-occupied M1 and M2 are coordinated by oxygen atoms in distorted trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral sites, respectively.

In the present work X-ray studies were performed on annealed Fe78Nb2B20 amorphous alloy prepared by melt-spinning technique. All the samples were annealed in vacuum for 1 hour at temperatures up to 800°C. For the studied alloy -Fe and Fe2B are the stable, crystalline phases. The -Fe crystallized as the first crystalline phase in the sample annealed at 350°C. On the other hand, metastable Fe3B phase appeared to be stable during annealing in 425-800°C temperature range. The best fitting of the experimental X-ray data to as jet available ICDD files was obtained for Ni3P type structure (39-1315 – S.G.: I (82)). New, experimental powder diffraction data for metastable Fe3B phase prepared according to ICDD standards were elaborated for the sample annealed at 600°C. For this sample the best agreement between the calculated values of lattice constants and positions of experimental diffraction lines was obtained. The X-ray data were collected using X-Pert Philips diffractometer equipped with curved graphite monochromator on diffracted beam. The Treor program was applied for the analysis of X-ray diffraction data.

The intermetallic cerium compounds CePdGe, CePtSi, and CePtGe were synthesized from the elements by arc-melting and subsequent annealing. The structure of CePtSi was refined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data: LaPtSi-type (ordered α-ThSi2 version), 141md, a = 419.6(1) and c = 1450.0(5) pm, wR2 = 0.0490, 362 F2 values and 16 variables. The Pt-Si distances within the three-dimensional [PtSi] network are 242 pm, indicating strong Pt-Si interactions. Hydrogenation of the three compounds at 623 K and 4 MPa H2 gave no indication for hydride formation.

The syntheses and IR spectra of the complexes [Mo2(O2C-Ph)4X2]2⊖ with X = N3, CI, Br and the counter ion PPh4⊕ are reported. The azido and the bromo complexes are obtained from a solution of [Mo2(O2CPh)4] with PPh4N3 in pyridine or by reaction with PPh4Br in CH2Br2, respectively. When (PPh4)2[Mo2(O2CPh)4(N3)2] is dissolved in CH2Cl2, nitrogen is evolved and the complex with X = CI is obtained. The crystal structure of (PPh4)2[Mo2(O2CPh)4Cl2] · 2CH2Cl2 was determined from X-ray diffraction data (5676 observed independent reflexions, R = 0.042). It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with four formula units per unit cell; the lattice constants are a = 1549, b = 1400, c = 1648 pm, β = 94.6°. The centrosymmetric [Mo2(O2CPh)4Cl2]2⊖ ion has a rather short Mo-Mo bond of 213 pm, whereas the MoCl bonds are very long (288 pm)

AbstractThe compounds (Pn4P)4Sb8I28 (1) and (Ph4P)Sb3I10 (2) were prepared by the reaction of SbI3 and Ph4PI in acetonitrile (molar ratios 2:1 and 3:1 respectively). The structures of 1 and 2 were determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data.1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̄ with a - 1321.7(5). b = 1346.7(5), c = 2201.8(8) pm, α = 104.18(2). β = 99.92(2), γ = 100.33(2)°; 2: monoclinic, C2/c, a = 2371.1(2), b = 745.0(1), c = 2495.1(2) pm, β = 100.75(1)°.Whereas 1 exhibits isolated Sb8I284- ions, the anions of 2 are built up of polymeric chains [Sb3I10- ]∞. In both compounds the distorted Sbl6 octahedra are linked by common edges. The Sb-I distances are in the range between 277.4 and 354.8 pm (1) and between 277.4 and 342.4 pm (2). The observed structures do not only depend on stoichiometry, the nature of the counter cations, and the possibility of oligomerisation but also on the wide variety of the Sb-I bond strengths and the different bridges formed by iodine.The lone pair of Sb(III) seems to be predominantly 5 s2.

X-ray powder data originally published for innelite—Na2Ba3(Ba, K, Mn)(Ca, Na)Ti(TiO2)2[Si2O7]2(SO4)2—were erroneously those of catapleiite. The new data reported here are compared with powder data calculated from the published structure. The cell is triclinic (space group P1, Z=1), a=14.71(1) Å, b=7.115(7) Å, c=5.379(4) Å, α=90.02(7)°, β=94.68(8)°, γ=98.43(9)°, V=555.0(6) Å3, F30=5.2(0.053,109).
