The site preference for each cation and site in beryl based on bond-length calculations was determined and compared with analytical data. Tetrahedral SiO4 six-membered rings normally have no substitutions which results from very compact Si4+–O bonds in tetrahedra. Any substitution except Be would require significant tetrahedral ring distortion. The Be tetrahedron should also be negligibly substituted based on the bond-valence calculation; the tetrahedral Li–O bond length is almost 20% larger than Be2+–O. Similar or smaller bond lengths were calculated for Cr3+, V3+, Fe3+, Fe2+, Mn3+, Mg2+, and Al3+, which can substitute for Be but also can occupy a neighboring tetrahedrally coordinated site which is completely vacant in the full Be occupancy. The octahedral site is also very compressed due to dominant Al with short bond lengths; any substitution results in octahedron expansion. There are two channel sites in beryl: the smaller 2b site can be occupied by Na+, Ca2+, Li+, and REE3+ (Rare Earth Elements); Fe2+ and Fe3+ are too small; K+, Cs+, Rb+, and Ba2+ are too large. The channel 2a-site average bond length is 3.38 Å which allows the presence of simple molecules such as H2O, CO2, or NH4 and the large-sized cations-preferring Cs+.

Crystal structures of Bi2Mo3O12 and Bi1.8Ln0.2Mo3O12 (Ln = Ce, Nd, Dy, Er) were studied using Rietveld structural refinements of X-ray powder diffraction data. Substitution of 10 mol% Ln for Bi produced changes in lattice parameters, bond lengths and distances between metal ions. These changes such as decreases in average bond lengths of Mo1O4 tetrahedra and variations in the distances between adjacent metal ions on the same plane could be ascribed to different ionic radii and electronegativty of Bi and rare earth atoms, and might be related to catalytic activity of bismuth molybdate for the selective oxidation and ammoxidation of alkenes.

Low Temperature Phase

The alkali-metal clinopyroxene NaTi3+Si2O6, one of the rare compounds with trivalent titanium, was synthesized at high temperature/high pressure and subsequently investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods between 298 and 100 K. One main difference between the high- and the low-temperature form is the sudden appearance of two different Ti3+—Ti3+ interatomic distances within the infinite chain of the TiO6 octahedra just below 197 K. This change can be seen as direct evidence for the formation of Ti—Ti singlet pairs in the low-temperature phase. Mean Ti—O bond lengths smoothly decrease with decreasing temperature and the phase transition is associated with a slight jump in the Ti—O bond length. The break in symmetry, however, causes distinct variations, especially with respect to the two Ti—Oapex bond lengths, but also with respect to the four Ti—O bonds in the equatorial plane of the octahedron. The TiO6 octahedron appears to be stretched in the chain direction with a slightly larger elongation in the P\bar 1 low-temperature phase compared with the C2/c high-temperature phase. Polyhedral distortion parameters such as bond-length distortion and octahedral angle variance suggest the TiO6 octahedron in P\bar 1 to be closer to the geometry of an ideal octahedron than in C2/c. Mean Na—O bond lengths decrease with decreasing temperature and the variations in individual Na—O bond lengths are the result of variations in the geometry of the octahedral site. The tetrahedral site acts as a rigid unit, which does not show pronounced changes upon cooling and through the phase transitions. There are neither large changes in bond lengths and angles nor in polyhedral distortion parameters, for the tetrahedral site, when they are plotted. In contrast with the C2/c → P21/c phase transition, found especially in LiMSi2O6 clinopyroxenes, no very large variations are found for the tetrahedral bridging angle. Thus, it is concluded that the main factor inducing the phase transition and controlling the structural variations is the M1 octahedral site.

Abstract We determine a model of the ionic interactions in RF3 compounds, where R is a rare-earth element in the series from La to Lu, by an analysis of data on the bond length and the vibrational mode frequencies of the PrF3, GdF3 and HoF3 molecular monomers. All RF3 monomers are predicted to have a pyramidal shape, displaying a progressive flattening of the molecular shape in parallel with the lanthanide contraction of the bond length. The vibrational frequencies of all monomers are calculated, the results being in good agreement with the data from infrared studies of matrix-isolated molecules. We also evaluate the geometrical structure and the vibrational spectrum of the La2F6 and Ce2F6 dimers, as a further test of the proposed model. -PACS 36.40.Wa (Charged clusters)

The reactions of diaza-15-crown-5 (“2.1”), and diaza-18-crown-6 (“2.2”), resp., with HgI2 in methanol afford the compounds [Hg(2.1)I][Hg2I6] (1) and [Hg(2.2)I][Hg2I6] (2), the crystal structures of which were determined. 1 consists of isolated cations [Hg(2.1)I]+ and anions [Hg2I6]2-. In the cations Hg is coordinated by one iodine atom, the two N atoms and the three O atoms of the ligand; the Hg-I distance is 262.1(3) pm, the Hg-N bond lengths are 221(2) and 238(2) pm; they are significantly shorter than the Hg-O distances, which are in the range between 262 and 271 pm. 2 consists of cations [Hg(2.2)I]+, which are bridged by the anions. In the cations of 2 Hg is coordinated by an iodine atom and by the two N atoms of the ligand, but by only three of the four O atoms. The Hg-I distance is 275.8(5) pm, the mean Hg-N bond length 234(4) pm, and the Hg-O distances vary between 285 and 304 pm. The Hg-I distance to the bridging I atom of the anion is 388.6(6) pm. The Hg-I bond lengths within the anions are slightly widened by this coordination.

The local structure around the cobalt(II) ion in the reaction intermediate formed during the metal substitution reaction of the homodinuclear mercury(II) porphyrin (5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4- sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin; H2tpps4- ) complex with a cobalt(II) ion in an acetate buffer has been determined by the stopped-flow EXAFS method. The structure of the reactant and the product of the above reaction has also been determined by the same method. The coordination geometry around the cobalt(II) ion in the heterodinuclear intermediate, [Hg(tpps)Coll]2- , is six-coordinate octahedral with four additional water and/or acetate oxygen atoms. The Coll-N and Coll-O bond lengths in the intermediate are 212(2) and 221(1) pm, respectively. The product, [Coll(tpps)]4-, has a six-coordinate octahedral structure, the Coll-N and Coll-O bond lengths being 203(1) and 215(1) pm, respectively. The Coll-N bond length in the intermediate is ca. 9 pm longer than that in the product. The Coll-O bond length in the intermediate is also ca. 9 pm longer than that of 212(1) pm in the reactant, the cobalt(II) acetato complex, and ca. 6 pm longer than that in the product. The longer Coll-O bond in the intermediate as compared to those in the reactant and in the product appears to be responsible for the instability of the intermediate. The oxidized product, [Colll(tpps)]3-, has a six-coordinate structure with two additional Colll-O bonds. The Colll-N and Colll-O bond lengths are 189(1) and 197(2) pm, respectively, and are much shorter than those in [Coll(tpps)]4-.

Crystal And Molecular Structures

The structures of [Pt(S2CN(C2H5)2)2] (1) and [Pt(S2CN(C2H4OH)2)2] (2) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. Compound (1) crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P42/n, a 16.4692(10),c 6.2160(6) � (Z = 4); R was 0.029 for 1012 observed reflections. Compound (2) is monoclinic, space group Pc, a 6-0663(11), b 1.1784(15), c 12.5740(21) � ,β92.569(8)� (Z = 2); R was 0.019 for 1573 observed reflections. The presence of electron-withdrawing groups in the ligands of (2) appears to have little effect on the Pt-S distances but causes an increase in the C-N bond length, with the C-N bond lengths being significantly different at the 2 σ level.
