Abstract The results of the x-ray study of rubber structure may be summarized as follow : (1) The unit cell is monoclinic, space group C2h5, a=8.53±0.05, b=8.16±0.05, c=12.66±0.05 A˚, β=83°20′, with four isoprene chains in the cis modification passing through the cell, which contains 8 C5H8 residues. (2) In the unstretched state there is a random distribution of ordered crystalline regions and disordered regions. On stretching, the crystalline regions become orientated in one or more crystallographic directions, thereby giving rise to the x-ray fibre diagram. The crystalline regions may be identified with the micelles, which are groups of Hauptvalenzketten bound together by van der Waals' forces; a given Hauptvalenzkette is undoubtedly associated with more than one micelle. It is possible that the abnormal elastic properties are due to the chains becoming aligned parallel to the direction of stretching, and in addition there may be some extension of the chains themselves. Such an effect has been observed by Astbury in his work on keratin. Some recent work on the structure of butadiene and its derivatives in the solid state is described, which, although offering no immediate solution of our problem, may prove of value when further accurate data are available, both for these compounds and for the corresponding rubbers.

The solid-state structure of N,N-dibenzylhydroxylamine (1) has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 21/n with four formula units in the unit cell. N,N-dibenzylhydroxylamine dimerizes to give N2O2H2 sixmembered rings as a result of the formation of two hydrogen bonds O - H ··· N in the solid state.

The crystal structure of bis (2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine)nickel(II) bis (perchlorate) hydrate has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry . The compound is monoclinic, space group P21, with two molecules in a unit cell of dimensions a 8.827(4), b 8.910(2), c 20.148(9) Ǻ, β 98.71(2)°. The structure was refined by least-squares to a residual of 0.065 for 2184 observed reflections. The compound is found to be isomorphic with the iron(II) analogue previously reported: the cation has approximate D2d symmetry, with the main distortion from octahedral symmetry being an axial compression. Both the solid state reflectance and solution spectra have been measured and some significant differences are noted.

Crystals of a human γGl immunoglobulin have the external morphology of diamond shaped prisms. X-ray studies have shown them to be monoclinic, space group C2, with 2 molecules per unit cell. The unit cell dimensions are a = 194.1, b = 91.7, c = 51.6Å, 8 = 102°. The relatively large molecular weight of 151,000 and these unit cell dimensions made this a promising crystal to study in the EM.Crystals similar to those used in the x-ray studies were fixed at 5°C for three weeks in a solution of mother liquor containing 5 x 10-5M sodium phosphate, pH 7.0, and 0.03% glutaraldehyde. They were postfixed with 1% osmium tetroxide for 15 min. and embedded in Maraglas the usual way. Sections were cut perpendicular to the three crystallographic axes. Such a section cut with its plane perpendicular to the z direction is shown in Fig. 1.This projection of the crystal in the z direction shows periodicities in at least four different directions but these are only seen clearly by sighting obliquely along the micrograph.

The present paper is interested in the study of compounds from the apatite family with the general formula Ca10 (PO4)6A2. It particularly brings to light the exploitation of the distinctive stereochemistries of two Ca positions in apatite. In fact, Gd-Bearing oxyapatiteCa8 Gd2 (PO4)6O2 has been synthesized by solid state reaction and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction. The site occupancies of substituents is0.3333 in Gd and 0.3333 for Ca in the Ca(1) position and 0. 5 for Gd in the Ca (2) position.  Besides, the observed frequencies in the Raman and infrared spectra were explained and discussed on the basis of unit-cell group analyses.

The Pb-Sb mineralization with dominant stibnite and plagionite and associated semseyite and zinkenite was found in an archive material collected at the Antimonitová vein, Bohutín, Březové Hory ore district (Czech Republic). Plagionite forms subhedral aggregates up to 1 mm in size. The unit-cell parameters of plagionite for monoclinic space group C2/c refined from the X-ray powder data are: a 13.4890(17), b 11.8670(14), c 19.997(2) Å, β 107.199(8)° and V 3057.9(6) Å3. Its chemical composition (average of 26 analyses, based on 30 apfu) corresponds to the empirical formula Pb5.02Sb8.15S16.82. Associated zinkenite is forming subhedral crystals up to 1 mm in size. Its empirical formula can be expressed as (Cu0.25Ag0.02Fe0.01)Σ0.28Pb9.22Sb22.19S41.31 (average of 26 analyses, based on 73 apfu). Semseyite aggregates have the empirical formula (Pb8.72Fe0.14)8.86Sb8.42S20.73 (average of 11 analyses, based on 38 apfu).

ABSTRACTTwo silicon oxycarbide glasses with different compositions (O/Si ratio 1.2 and 1.8) were prepared by pyrolysis at moderate temperature (900 °C) of polysiloxane precursors. Their structure was investigated using quantitative 29Si solid-state NMR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The environment of the silicon atoms in the oxycarbide phase corresponded to a purely random distribution of Si-O and Si-C bonds depending on the O/Si ratio of the glass only and not on the structure of the precursors. At the light of the NMR results, the Si2p XPS spectra of the glasses may be interpreted using the contribution of the five possible SiOxC4-x tetrahedra. The Cls spectra of these glasses indicated the presence of oxycarbide carbon in CSi4 tetrahedra, similar to carbide carbon, and graphitic-like excess carbon.
