The cause of the split of 4A4E(4G) Mn2+ excited level measured on minerals spectra is discussed. It is our view that ∆E = |4E(4G) − 4A(4G)| should be considered an important spectroscopic parameter. Among the possible reasons for the energy levels splitting taken under consideration, such as the covalent bond theory, the geometric deformation of the coordination polyhedron and the lattice site’s symmetry, the first one was found to be inappropriate. Two studied willemite samples showed that the impurities occur in one of the two available lattice sites differently in both crystals. Moreover, it was revealed that the calculated crystal field Dq parameter can indicate which of the two non-equivalent lattice sites positions in the willemite crystal structure was occupied by Mn2+. The above conclusions were confirmed by X-ray structure measurements. Significant differences were also noted in the Raman spectra of these willemites.

AbstractThe homocyclic S11 and S13 molecules have been synthesized from titanocenepentasulfide and S6Cl2 or S8Cl2, respectively, and obtained as yellow crystals which are metastable for several days at 20 °C. X-Ray structural analyses of single crystals at -105± 5 °C exhibited molecules of approximately C2 symmetry with bond distances (d), bond angles (a) and torsional angles (r) in the following ranges: S11 : d = 203.2 -211.0 pm, α = 103.3-108.6°, τ = 69.3 - 140.5°; S13: d = 197.8 - 211.3 pm, α = 102.8-111.1°, τ = 29.5 - 116.3°. Infrared and Raman spectra of S11 and S13 are reported. In addition, the synthesis of S6Cl2 and S8Cl2 from S6 or S8, respectively, and chlorine is described.

A study of the polarized infrared and Raman spectra of acenaphthylene single crystals has been made. These results, together with Gordon and Yang's preliminary X-ray work, suggest that the molecules pack in some disordered arrangement in the solid at room temperature. Most of the A1 fundamentals were identified in the Raman solution spectrum from their low depolarization ratio, and a few tentative assignments of nontotally symmetric fundamentals were made.

X-ray atomic orbital (XAO) analysis revealed that at both temperatures the electrons are transferred from B 2px (= py ) to Ce 5d and 4f orbitals. At 340 K 5d(j = 5/2)Γ8 orbitals are occupied partially, but 4f(j = 5/2)Γ8 orbitals are more populated than 4f(j = 5/2)Γ7 orbitals, in contrast to our observation at 430 K [Makita et al. (2007). Acta Cryst. B63, 683–692]. At 535 K the XAO analysis revealed clearly that the order of the energy levels of 4f(j = 5/2)Γ8 and Γ7 states reversed again and is the same as that at room temperature. It also limited the possible 5d configurations to three models among the nine possible ones. However, the XAO analysis could not decide which of the three models was the best with the present accuracy of the measurement. Two of them have partially and fully occupied 5d(j = 5/2)Γ7 orbitals and the remaining one has a fully occupied 5d(j = 3/2)Γ8 orbital. Since the lobes of 5d(j = 3/2)Γ8 or 5d(j = 5/2)Γ7 orbitals do not overlap with the 4f(j = 5/2)Γ8 orbitals as well as the 5d(j = 5/2)Γ8 orbitals, the order of the energy levels of the 4f(j = 5/2) orbitals became the same as that at room temperature. These results indicate that the crystal field varies with temperature due to the electron transfer from B 2p to Ce 5d orbitals. The difference densities after the spherical-atom refinement at the three temperatures clearly revealed the different combinations of 4f and 5d orbitals which are occupied. In the present study positive peaks due to the 4f electrons appear near the Ce nucleus and those due to 5d orbitals are found in the area outside the 4f peaks. Between the two areas there is a negative area distributed spherically at 340 K. The negative area produced by the contraction of 4f(j = 5/2)Γ8 orbitals seems to reduce the electron repulsion of the 5d(j = 5/2)Γ8 orbitals and helps the 4f(j = 5/2)Γ8 orbitals to remain as the ground state.

The crystal structure of [Cuen2(NO3)]SeCN was solved by the single-crystal X-ray structural analysis method. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system with space group Pc. The unit cell has dimensions: a = 0.9254(3), b = 1.4018(3), c = 0.9722(5) nm, β = 99.20(3)°. The structure was refined by the least squares method to a final value of R = 6.8% for 1965 observed reflections. The crystal structure consits of polymeric cation chain [Cuen2(NO3)]+ and of free uncoordinated SeCN- anions. The nitrate ion NO-3 forms a bridging unit between two [Cuen3]2+ cations. The coordination polyhedron around the Cu(II) atom is a deformed octahedron, formed of two ethylendiamine molecules and two oxygen atoms of the NO-3 ions, bonded to divalent copper in the axial direction along the long coordinates. The crystal structure contains selenocyanate which is not bonded through a covalent bond to the central atom, but there are intermolecular contacts with its immediate surroundings.

Four samples of TiO2 ultrafine particles (UFP) were obtained through different processes. The structure of TiO2 ultrafine particles and the factors influencing the structure were investigated with Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction (XRD). Both Raman spectra and x-ray diffractograms show the similar regularity of the phase transformation among the four samples. The observed bimodal lineshape-structure in the Raman spectra is attributed to the intragrain and grain-boundary components of TiO2 UFP. The crystal structure of TiO2 UFP is found to be distorted by the surface structure such as OH and OCH2CH3 groups coordinated on the surface of TiO2 UFP.

AbstractTri-n-butyltin diphenylphosphinate (n-Bu)3SnO2PPh2 has been synthesized by the reaction of (n-Bu3Sn)2O with Ph2POCl in toluene. An X-ray diffraction study of (n-Bu3)SnO2PPh2 shows that the structure is polymeric and consists of helical chains in which (n-Bu)3Sn groups are linked by O-P-O bridges. The geometry about tin is trigonal bipyramidal, with n-butyl groups in equatorial positions and an axial O-Sn-O angle of 176.2 (2)°. IR and Raman spectra of (n-Bu)3SnO2PPh2 are given and assigned. The mass spectrum is reported and discussed.
