In this work, the method of IR digital holography intended for detection of volumetric defects in ZnGeP2 single crystals has been tested. The holographic method is verified by a comparison of the results obtained with the data obtained by other methods. The spatial resolution of the experimental setup is ~15–20 µm. The volumetric defects of the ZnGeP2 crystal structure (in samples with thickness up to 50 mm) such as growth striations, dislocation chain, and inclusions of the second phase (Zn3P2) shaped as needles up to ~100 µm long and ~10 µm wide have been visualized by the method of IR digital holography.

The synthesis and the characterization of the complex salt [Au(tBu2PH)2][HCl2] (2) resulting from the reaction of hydrogen tetrachloridoaurate(III) hydrate with tBu2PH in dichloromethane at room temperature is reported. Single crystals of 2 have been analyzed by X-ray crystallography: monoclinic, P21=c, Z = 12, a = 12:0805(3), b = 12:3729(4), c = 46:7506(13) Å ; ß = 90:948(2)°; V = 6986:9(3) Å3; T = 173(2) K. The hydrogen bihalide anions [HCl2]- fill the interstices between the large complex cations [Au(tBu2PH)2]+ in the crystal.

Single crystals of Cu(pdz)Cl2 were grown by using gel methods with tetramethoxysilane as the gel-forming reagent. Thermal decomposition is interpreted. Crystal data for the complex : monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 938.3(3) pm, b = 1242.9(3) pm, c = 675.7(4) pm, β = 128.48(5)°. A crystal structure analysis reveals CuCl2 molecules connected by pyridazine in the form of zigzag-chains. Between these chains there are only Van-der-Waals-Interactions.

Blue single crystals of Cu[μ3-O3P(CH2)2COOH].2H2O (1) and Cu[(RS)-μ3-O3PCH(C2H5)COOH].3H2O (2) have been prepared in aqueous Cu2+-solutions (pH = 2.5–3.5) containing 3-phosphonopropionic acid (1) and (RS)-2-phosphonobutyric acid (2), respectively. 1: Space group Pbca (no. 61) with a = 812.5(2), b = 919.00(9), c = 2102.3(2) pm. Cu2+ is five-fold coordinated by three oxygen atomsstemming from [O3P(CH2)2COOH]2– anions and two water molecules. The Cu-O bond lengths range from194.0(3) to 231.8(4) pm. The connection between the [O3P(CH2)2COOH]2– anions and the Cu2+ cations yields apolymeric structure with layers parallel to (001). The layers are linked by hydrogen bonds. 2: Space group Pbca(no. 61) with a = 1007.17(14), b = 961.2(3), c = 2180.9(4) pm. The copper cations are surrounded by five oxygen atoms in a square pyramidal fashion with Cu-O bonds between 193.6(4) and 236.9(4) pm. The coordination between [O3PCH(C2H5)COOH]2- and Cu2+ results in infinite puckered layers parallel to (001). The layers are not connected by any hydrogen bonds. Each layer contains both R and S isomers of the [O3PCH(C2H5)COOH]2-dianion. Water molecules not bound to Cu2+ are intercalated between the layers.UV/Vis spectra suggest three d-d transition bands at 743, 892, 1016 nm for 1 and four bands at 741, 838, 957and 1151 nm for 2, respectively. Magnetic measurements suggest a weak antiferromagnetic coupling betweenCu2+ due to a super-superexchange interaction. Thermoanalytical investigations in air show that the compounds are stable up to 95 °C (1) and 65 °C (2), respectively.

L-valine L-valinium perchlorate monohydrate single crystal has been synthesized by slow evaporation technique at room temperature. The crystal structure and space group of the crystal were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffractometer. Optical behavior of the crystal was analyzed by using UV-visible spectrophotometer. Thermal stability was discussed by using thermo gravimetric analysis. Mechanical strength of the grown crystal was studied using Vickers microhardness tester. Nonlinear optical property was explored to confirm the second harmonic generation efficiency of the grown crystal. These preliminary investigations suggest that the title compound can serve as a potential material for photonics applications. Full Text: PDF ReferencesD. J.

Pale grey-blue, transparent single crystals of Ba2[BN2]Cl (I4132 (no. 214), a = 1462.88(1) pm, Z = 24) are obtained by the reaction of Ba, BaCl2, BN and NaN3 in arc-welded Ta ampoules at 1200 K. The crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ray structure analysis. The Raman and IR spectra of the title compound show the expected fundamental frequencies (νs = 1038; νas = 1969 and 2087; δ = 616 / 636 cm−1) for a nitridoborate unit with D∞h symmetry. The [N-B-N] structure obtained by X-ray single crystal structure determination corroborates this finding within the standard deviations of the measurement with d(B-N) = 132.3(8) pm and ∡ (N-B-N) = 178.5(13)°. Our results compare well to the data reported for cubic and orthorhombic Ba3[BN2]2 as well as to the isotypic compound Ba2[BN2]Br.

The cubic iron hydroxy boracite Fe3B7O13OH・1.5H2O was synthesized from Fe2O3 and B2O3 under high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 3 GPa and 960 °C in a modified Walker-type multianvil apparatus. The crystal structure was determined at room temperature by X-ray diffraction on single crystals. It crystallizes in the cubic space group F4̄3c (Z = 8) with the parameters a = 1222.4(2) pm, V = 1.826(4) nm3, R1 = 0.0362, and wR2 = 0.0726 (all data). The B-O network is similar to that of other cubic boracites.
