ABSTRACTSince the discovery of the high-Tc superconductor in the La-Ba-Cu-O system [1], a great deal of experimental and theoretical effort have been made to clarify the nature of the Cu-based oxides. In order to elucidate mechanism of the high-Tc superconductivity, discovery of a new type of superconductor is no doubt of great importance. Recently, Akimitsu et al. found a new oxide superconductor in the Nd-Ce-Sr-Cu-O system [2]. Soon after their discovery, the superconducting phase was isolated and identified [3]. It has a tetragonal cell with space group P4/nmm and has a structure closely related to but different from the K2NiF4− or T'-Nd2CuO4− -type structure. Although, Tc of the Nd-Ce-Sr-Cu oxide is not so high (ca. 20 K) compared with the 1–2–3 or Bi(Tl)-based superconductors, it has aroused interest widely due to a very simple crystal structure. In this article, I will discuss superconductivity and crystal chemistry of the Nd-Ce-Sr-Cu oxide. Also, various compounds isostructural to it will be presented.

The title compound has been obtained by arc-melting of the elemental components and subsequent annealing at 800 °C. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Immm, a = 430.3(1), b = 1235.0(2), c = 967.6(3) pm, V = 0.5142(2) nm3, Z = 2. The structure has been determined from single-crystal X-ray data and refined to R = 0.0181 for 747 F2 values and 28 variables. It is of a new type and can be described as a ternary ordered version of the binary La3Al11-type structure. Dy3Co6Sn5 is built up from DyCo2Sn2 and DyCo2Sn slabs with ThCr2Si2 and Cu3Au-like atomic arrangements, respectively. Its crystal chemistry is compared with that of structurally related rare earth transition metal gallides.

The new ternary stannides RE2Au2Sn (RE = Gd, Tb) and indides RE2Au2In (RE = Y, Gd-Tm, Lu) were synthesized by arc-melting of the elemental components and subsequent annealing at 800 °C. While Gd2Au2Sn, Tb2Au2Sn and the indides with RE = Y, Gd-Er crystallize in the ordered U3Si2 structure, Tm2Au2In and Lu2Au2In adopt the ordered Zr3Al2 structure, respectively. The crystal structure of Dy2Au2In was refined from single-crystal X- ray data: P4/mbm, Z = 2, a = 784.1(1) pm, c = 373.9(1) pm, V = 0.2299 nm3 and R = 0.028 for 342 F2 values and 12 variables. The tin (indium) atoms in these compounds occupy [RE8] square prisms and the gold atoms are surrounded by [RE6] trigonal prisms. These fragments are derived from the AlB2 and CsCl-type structures. The crystal chemistry of these com­pounds is briefly discussed.

Very recently H. Maeda et al.1 reported a high Tc superconducting material of the composition BiSrCaCu2O χ that makes a feature of containing no rare earth metal. We are interested in the structural and chemical aspects of this new class of materials.2 We have prepared a homogeneous sample for the superconducting phase in the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system, and have determined its crystal structure by powder XRD method. At a very late stage we noticed the structural work by a Bellcore group.3 Fortunately our work has quite a number of distinguishable features.

Abstract In this work, a new type of zinc(II) coordination polymer {[Zn(HIDC)(BBM)0.5]·H2O} n (Zn-CP) was synthesized using 4,5-imidazoledicarboxylic acid (H3IDC) and 2,2-(1,4-butanediyl)bis-1,3-benzimidazole (BBM) under hydrothermal conditions. Its structure has been characterized by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The Zn(II) ion is linked by the HIDC2− ligand to form a zigzag chain by chelating and bridging, and then linked by BBM to form a layered network structure. Adjacent layers are further connected by hydrogen bond interaction to form a 3-D supramolecular framework. The solid-state fluorescence performance of Zn-CP shows that compared with free H3IDC ligand, its fluorescence intensity is significantly enhanced.

Organic dairy cows were used to evaluate the effect of two organic pasture production systems (temperate grass species and warm-season annual grasses and cool-season annuals compared with temperate grasses only) across two grazing seasons (May to October of 2014 and 2015) on milk production, milk components (fat, protein, milk urea nitrogen (MUN), somatic cell score (SCS)), body weight, body condition score (BCS), and activity and rumination (min/day). Cows were assigned to two pasture systems across the grazing season at an organic research dairy in Morris, Minnesota. Pasture System 1 was cool-season perennials (CSP) and Pasture System 2 was a combination of System 1 and warm-season grasses and cool-season annuals. System 1 and System 2 cows had similar milk production (14.7 and 14.8 kg d−1), fat percentage (3.92% vs. 3.80%), protein percentage (3.21% vs. 3.17%), MUN (12.5 and 11.5 mg dL−1), and SCS (4.05 and 4.07), respectively. Cows in System 1 had greater daily rumination (530 min/day) compared to cows in System 2 (470 min/day). In summary, warm-season annual grasses may be incorporated into grazing systems for pastured dairy cattle.
