Centimeter-sized crystals of orthorhombic calcium formate, α-Ca(HCO2)2 from Alkali Lake, Oregon, USA have been studied by means of powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, infrared, and Raman spectroscopy. Based on the data on carbon isotope abundance in calcium formate and associated minerals, it was concluded that the formation of α-Ca(HCO2)2 may be a result of a combination of two factors: lake microbial metabolism and anthropogenic pollution with Agent Orange. Possible causes of stability of the low-density tetragonal β-Ca(HCO2)2 polymorph (formicaite) in boron ores are discussed.

Abstract We comprehensively report here a green route for synthesizing graphene oxide from waste batteries. The satisfactory yield, formulated wholly through basic medium, is validated through confirmatory tests via X-ray Diffraction analysis, FTIR, UV-Vis and Raman Spectroscopy. The overall scheme turns out to be engaging less reactants as well as facile; thus converting a waste material to a useful product.

By X-ray diffraction analysis and Raman spectroscopy, we studied samples of fine-grained graphite MPG-7 with detected chemical and structural defects. We determined the effect of structural and chemical defects on the micro- and macrostructure of graphite and estimated its crystallinity depending on the type of defects detected.

The dibenzamido alcanes, nDBN, for n = 2–10, have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction and infrared and Raman spectroscopy. From X-ray diffraction it was observed than the dihedral angle ε between the aromatic ring and the amido group averaged 28.3° and did not vary significantly with n. The torsion angle τ between the amide group and the aliphatic chain was found to be near 180° for n = 4, 6, 8, and 10. However, for n = 2, 3, 5, and 7, τ averaged 98°. In this last case the plane of the aliphatic chain is nearly perpendicular to the plane of the amide group. The study of ir and Raman spectra in relation to conformation revealed that the position of the amide V band depends on the value of the τ angle and could be used to infer if the latter is close to 180° or not.

Orange–brown crystals of composition Cu(pyz)2(CF3SO3) (pyz = pyrazine, 1,4-diazine) were obtained from methanol solutions containing Cu(CF3SO3)2 and pyrazine in approximate 1:2 mole ratio. Single crystal X-ray diffraction and infrared and Raman spectroscopy studies are reported. Crystals of the title compound are triclinic, a = 8.312(2), b = 10.903(3), c = 8.201(2) Å, α = 92.53(2), β = 113.77(2), γ = 91.40(2)°, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text] The structure was solved by heavy atom methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares to R = 0.035 and Rw = 0.044 for 2458 reflections with 1 ≥ 3σ(I). The compound contains chains of copper ions linked by bidentate bridging pyrazine ligands. The coordination around each copper is completed by monodentate pyrazine and trifluoromethanesulfonato groups to produce a distorted tetrahedral CuN3O chromophore. Keywords: crystal structure, μ-pyrazine copper(I) triflate polymer, vibrational spectra.
