The crystal structure of the ordered vacancy compound (OVC) Cu3In5Te9 was analyzed using powder X-ray diffraction data. Several structural models were derived from the structure of the Cu-poor Cu-In-Se compound b-Cu0.39In1.2Se2 by permuting the cations in the available site positions. The refinement of the best model by the Rietveld method in the tetragonal space group P2c (Nº 112), with unit cell parameters a = 6.1852(2) Å, c = 12.3633(9) Å, V = 472.98(4) Å3, led to Rp = 7.1 %, Rwp = 8.5 %, Rexp = 6.4 %, S = 1.3 for 162 independent reflections. This model has the following Wyckoff site atomic distribution: Cu1 in 2e (0,0,0); In1 in 2f (½,½,0), In2 in 2d (0,½,¼); Cu2-In3 in 2b (½,0,¼); in 2a (0,0,¼); Te in 8n (x,y,z).

Abstract In the course of our investigation of the ternary system K-Au-Sn we obtained the new compound KAu4Sn2. Its crystal structure has been determinated from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. It crystallizes in the tetragonal space group 1̅4̅c2 with unit-cell parameters a = 884.7 and c = 817.8 pm and Z = 4. The structure is comparable to that of the Tl2Se.

The technogenic mineral phases NH4MgCl3·6H2O and (NH4)2Fe3+Cl5·H2O from the burned dumps of the Chelyabinsk coal basin have been investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and high-temperature powder X-ray diffraction. The NH4MgCl3·6H2O phase is monoclinic, space group C2/c, unit cell parameters a = 9.3091(9), b = 9.5353(7), c = 13.2941(12) Å, β = 90.089(8)° and V = 1180.05(18) Å3. The crystal structure of NH4MgCl3·6H2O was refined to R1 = 0.078 (wR2 = 0.185) on the basis of 1678 unique reflections. The (NH4)2Fe3+Cl5·H2O phase is orthorhombic, space group Pnma, unit cell parameters a = 13.725(2), b = 9.9365(16), c = 7.0370(11) Å and V = 959.7(3) Å3. The crystal structure of (NH4)2Fe3+Cl5·H2O was refined to R1 = 0.023 (wR2 = 0.066) on the basis of 2256 unique reflections. NH4MgCl3·6H2O is stable up to 90 °C and then transforms to the less hydrated phase isotypic to β-Rb(MnCl3)(H2O)2 (i.e., NH4MgCl3·2H2O), the latter phase being stable up to 150 °C. (NH4)2Fe3+Cl5·H2O is stable up to 120 °C and then transforms to an X-ray amorphous phase. Hydrogen bonds provide an important linkage between the main structural units and play the key role in determining structural stability and physical properties of the studied phases. The mineral phases NH4MgCl3·6H2O and (NH4)2Fe3+Cl5·H2O are isostructural with natural minerals novograblenovite and kremersite, respectively.

There is only one formula in each unit cell, Z = 1, and the density of Tb3CuAl3Ge2 is ρx = 7.1696 g cm−3. The reliability factors characterizing the Rietveld refinement results are Rp = 6.43%, Rwp = 8.65%, RB = 4.81%, and RF = 4.09%, respectively. The powder XRD data of Tb3CuAl3Ge2 were presented and the reliability of indexation is F30 = 120.9(0.0073, 34).

Abstract. Gersdorffite, ideally NiAsS, and associated minerals from Contrada Zillì (Peloritani Mountains, Sicily, Italy) have been characterized through electron microprobe analysis and X-ray diffraction. Primary minerals, hosted in quartz veins, are represented by gersdorffite, tetrahedrite-(Fe), and chalcopyrite with minor pyrite and galena. Rare aikinite inclusions were observed in tetrahedrite-(Fe) and chalcopyrite. Gersdorffite occurs as euhedral to subhedral crystals, up to 1 mm in size, with (Sb,Bi)-enriched cores and (Fe,As)-enriched rims. Its chemical composition is (Ni0.79−0.95Fe0.18−0.04Co0.04−0.01)(As0.90−1.03Sb0.10−0.00Bi0.02−0.00)S0.98−0.92. It crystallizes in the space group P213, with unit-cell parameters a=5.6968(7) Å, V=184.88(7) Å3, and Z=4, and its crystal structure was refined down to R1= 0.035. Associated tetrahedrite-(Fe) has chemical formula (Cu5.79Ag0.07)Σ5.86(Cu3.96Fe1.59Zn0.45)Σ6.00(Sb3.95As0.17Bi0.03)Σ4.15S13.06, with unit-cell parameters a= 10.3815(10) Å, V=1118.9(3) Å3, and space group I-43m. Its crystal structure was refined to R1=0.027. Textural and crystallographic data suggest a polyphasic crystallization of gersdorffite under low-temperature conditions.

Abstract The crystal structure of a copper(II) complex of protonated sildenafil, CuCl3C22H31N6O4S⋅2H2O was studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with the unit cell parameters a = 15.4292(2), b = 9.06735(12), c = 21.1752(2) Å, V = 2945.48(7) Å3, Z = 4. The Cu atom is coordinated by the sildenafil ligand via the N2 atom of the pyrazolopyrimidine ring and by three chloride anions. Sildenafil is protonated at the methylated N6 atom of the piperazine ring and it is cation ligand with a 1+ charge.

Reactions between Co(II), Diphos, and NaBH3CN lead to Co(BH3CN)2(Diphos)2, 1, or [Co(BH3CN)(Diphos)2]X, 2 (X = ClO4 or BPh4), and, in certain solvents, 2 reacts to produce [Co(CN)(Diphos)2](ClO4). Compound 1 can be reversibly converted to Co(BH3CN)2(DMF)4, 4, via Co(BH3CN)2(Diphos)(DMF). In addition, 1 reacts with CO to form the Co(I) and Co(III) compounds [Co(Diphos)2](CO)]X and [Co(Diphos)2(CN)2]X (X = BH3CN or BPh4). Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of 4 show that the compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group [Formula: see text], with unit cell parameters a = 7.572(6), b = 9.695(6), c = 9.395(6) Å, α = 81.06(4), β = 68.46(5), γ = 68.19(5)°, V = 595.5 Å3, Z = 1, and dcalcd = 1.202 g cm−3. The structure converged to a conventional R factor of 0.040 for 2841 observations and showed an octahedral arrangement of four O atoms from DMF molecules and two trans N-bound BH3CN groups around the Co(II) center.
