Rerefinement of the crystal structure of SnTe_0.73(2)Se_0.27(2) from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data.

ABSTRACT: Compounds of the solid solution series SnTe_1-x Se _x , derived from pristine SnSe and SnTe, are considered as thermoelectric lead-free materials. The crystal structure re-refinement of NaCl-type SnTe_0.73 (2)Se_0.27 (2) is based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction data and results in higher precision of the bond length [Sn-(Te,Se) = 3.0798 (3) Å] compared to a previous report on basis of powder X-ray data [Krebs & Langner (1964 ▸). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 334, 37-49].

Redetermination of the crystal structure of RhPb2 from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, revealing a rhodium deficiency.

Project description:RhPb2 (rhodium dilead) is a superconductor crystallizing in the CuAl2 structure type (space group I4/mcm). The Rh and Pb atoms are located at the 4a (site symmetry 422) and 8h (m.2m) sites, respectively. The crystal structure is composed of [RhPb8] anti-prisms, which share their square faces along the c axis and the edges in the direction perpendicular to the c axis. We have succeeded in growing single crystals of RhPb2 and have re-determined the crystal structure on basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. In comparison with the previous structure studies using powder X-ray diffraction data [Wallbaum (1943 ▸). Z. Metallkd. 35, 218-221; Havinga et al. (1972 ▸). J. Less-Common Met. 27, 169-186], the current structure analysis of RhPb2 leads to more precise unit-cell parameters and fractional coordinates, together with anisotropic displacement parameters for the two atoms. In addition and likewise different from the previous studies, we have found a slight deficiency of Rh in RhPb2, leading to a refined formula of Rh0.950 (9)Pb2.

Redetermination of the crystal structure of yttrium chromium tetra-boride, YCrB4, from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data.

Project description:The structural parameters of yttrium chromium tetra-boride YCrB4 were refined based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. YCrB4 is ortho-rhom-bic, having a space group of type Pbam (No. 55) and with lattice parameters of a = 5.9425 (2), b = 11.4831 (4), c = 3.4643 (1) Å. The Y and Cr atoms are located at Wyckoff 4h sites (x, y, 0) and B atoms at the Wyckoff 4g sites (x, y, 1/2). The first structural investigation of YCrB4 was performed using a single crystalline sample [Kuz'ma, (1970 ▸). Kristallografiya. 15, 372-374]. The present study successfully refined all the positional and atomic displacement parameters of the Y, Cr, and B atoms.

Rerefinement of the crystal structure of BiF5.

Project description:The crystal structure of bis-muth penta-fluoride, BiF5, was rerefined from single-crystal data. BiF5 crystallizes in the α-UF5 structure type in the form of colorless needles. In comparison with the previously reported crystal-structure model [Hebecker (1971 ▸). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 384, 111-114], the lattice parameters and fractional atomic coordinates were determined to much higher precision and all atoms were refined anisotropically, leading to a significantly improved structure model. The Bi atom (site symmetry 4/m..) is surrounded by six F atoms in a distorted octa-hedral coordination environment. The [BiF6] octa-hedra are corner-linked to form infinite straight chains extending parallel to [001]. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the PBE0/TZVP level of theory were performed on the crystal structure of BiF5 to calculate its IR and Raman spectra. These are compared with experimental data.

Redetermination of the crystal structure of β-zinc molybdate from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data.

Project description:The crystal structure of the β-polymorph of ZnMoO4 was re-determined on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. In comparison with previous powder X-ray diffraction studies [Katikaneani & Arunachalam (2005 ▸). Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. pp. 3080-3087; Cavalcante et al. (2013 ▸). Polyhedron, 54, 13-25], all atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters, leading to a higher precision with respect to bond lengths and angles. β-ZnMoO4 adopts the wolframite structure type and is composed of distorted ZnO6 and MoO6 octa-hedra, both with point group symmetry 2. The distortion of the octa-hedra is reflected by variation of bond lengths and angles from 2.002 (3)-2.274 (4) Å, 80.63 (11)-108.8 (2)° for equatorial and 158.4 (2)- 162.81 (14)° for axial angles (ZnO6), and of 1.769 (3)-2.171 (3) Å, 73.39 (16)-104.7 (2), 150.8 (2)-164.89 (15)° (MoO6), respectively. In the crystal structure, the same type of MO6 octa-hedra share edges to built up zigzag chains extending parallel to [001]. The two types of chains are condensed by common vertices into a framework structure. The crystal structure can alternatively be described as derived from a distorted hexa-gonally closed packed arrangement of the O atoms, with Zn and Mo in half of the octa-hedral voids.

Rerefinement of the crystal structure of α-ThBr4.

Project description:Single crystals of α-ThBr4, thorium(IV) tetra-bromide, were obtained as a side product from the reaction of CuBr with β-ThBr4 at 753 K. In the crystal structure, the Th atom (site symmetry ..) is surrounded by eight Br atoms in the form of a tetra-gonal-disphenoidal coordination polyhedron. The connectivity of these polyhedra is 3 ∞[ThBr4/2Br4/2]. In comparison with the previous crystal structure refinement [Mason et al. (1974 ▸). J. Less-Common Met. 35, 331-338], the current rerefinement resulted in much higher preciscion of the lattice parameters and the atomic coordinates.

Redetermination of the crystal structure of caesium tetra-fluorido-bromate(III) from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data.

Project description:Caesium tetra-fluorido-bromate(III), CsBrF4, was crystallized in form of small blocks by melting and recrystallization. The crystal structure of CsBrF4 was redetermined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. In comparison with a previous study based on powder X-ray diffraction data [Ivlev et al. (2013 ▸). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 639, 2846-2850], bond lengths and angles were determined with higher precision, and all atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters. It was confirmed that the structure of CsBrF4 contains two square-planar [BrF4]- anions each with point group symmetry mmm, and a caesium cation (site symmetry mm2) that is coordinated by twelve fluorine atoms, forming an anti-cubocta-hedron. CsBrF4 is isotypic with CsAuF4.

Redetermination of the crystal structure of R 5Si4 (R = Pr, Nd) from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data.

Project description:The crystal structures of praseodymium silicide (5/4), Pr5Si4, and neodymium silicide (5/4), Nd5Si4, were redetermined using high-quality single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The previous structure reports of Pr5Si4 were only based on powder X-ray diffraction data [Smith et al. (1967 ▸). Acta Cryst. 22 940-943; Yang et al. (2002b ▸). J. Alloys Compd. 339, 189-194; Yang et al., (2003 ▸). J. Alloys Compd. 263, 146-153]. On the other hand, the structure of Nd5Si4 has been determined from powder data [neutron; Cadogan et al., (2002 ▸). J. Phys. Condens. Matter, 14, 7191-7200] and X-ray [Smith et al. (1967 ▸). Acta Cryst. 22 940-943; Yang et al. (2002b ▸). J. Alloys Compd. 339, 189-194; Yang et al., (2003 ▸). J. Alloys Compd. 263, 146-153] and single-crystal data with isotropic atomic displacement parameters [Roger et al., (2006 ▸). J. Alloys Compd. 415, 73-84]. In addition, the anisotropic atomic displacement parameters for all atomic sites have been determined for the first time. These compounds are confirmed to have the tetra-gonal Zr5Si4-type structure (space group: P41212), as reported previously (Smith et al., 1967 ▸). The structure is built up by distorted body-centered cubes consisting of Pr(Nd) atoms, which are linked to each other by edge-sharing to form a three-dimensional framework. This framework delimits zigzag channels in which the silicon dimers are situated.

Crystal structure of dicesium hydrogen citrate from laboratory single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction data and DFT comparison.

Project description:The crystal structure of dicesium hydrogen citrate, 2Cs+·C6H6O72-, has been solved using laboratory X-ray single-crystal diffraction data, refined using laboratory powder X-ray data, and optimized using density functional techniques. The Cs+ cation is nine-coordinate, with a bond-valence sum of 0.92 valence units. The CsO9 coordination polyhedra share edges and corners to form a three-dimensional framework. The citrate anion is located on a mirror plane. Its central hy-droxy/carboxyl-ate O-H⋯O hydrogen bond is short, and (unusually) inter-molecular. The centrosymmetric end-end carboxyl-ate hydrogen bond is exceptionally short (O⋯O = 2.416 Å) and strong. These hydrogen bonds contribute 16.5 and 21.7 kcal mol-1, respectively, to the crystal energy. The hydro-phobic methyl-ene groups occupy pockets in the framework.

Crystal structure of strontium perchlorate anhydrate, Sr(ClO4)2, from laboratory powder X-ray diffraction data.

Project description:The crystal structure of strontium perchlorate anhydrate, Sr(ClO4)2, was determined and refined from laboratory powder X-ray diffraction data. The material was obtained by dehydration of Sr(ClO4)2·3H2O at 523 K for two weeks. It crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic space group Pbca and is isotypic with Ca(AlD4)2 and Ca(ClO4)2. The asymmetric unit contains one Sr, two Cl and eight O sites, all on general positions (Wyckoff position 8c). The crystal structure consists of Sr2+ cations and isolated ClO4 - tetra-hedra. The Sr2+ cation is coordinated by eight O atoms from eight ClO4 - tetra-hedra. The validity of the crystal structure model for Sr(ClO4)2 anhydrate was confirmed by the bond valence method.

Crystal structure refinement of magnesium zinc divanadate, MgZnV2O7, from powder X-ray diffraction data.

Project description:The crystal structure of magnesium zinc divanadate, MgZnV2O7, was determined and refined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. The title compound was synthesized by a solid-state reaction at 1023 K in air. The crystal structure is isotypic with Mn0.6Zn1.4V2O7 (C2/m; Z = 6) and is related to the crystal structure of thortveitite. The asymmetric unit contains two metal sites with statistically distributed magnesium and zinc atoms with the atomic ratio close to 1:1. One (Mg/Zn) metal site (M1) is located on Wyckoff position 8j and the other (M2) on 4h. Three V sites (all on 4i), and eight O (three 8j, four 4i, and one 2b) sites complete the asymmetric unit. The structure is an alternate stacking of V2O7 layers and (Mg/Zn) atom layers along [20]. It is distinct from other related structures in that each V2O7 layer consists of two groups: a V2O7 dimer and a V4O14 tetra-mer. Mixed-occupied M1 and M2 are coordinated by oxygen atoms in distorted trigonal bipyramidal and octa-hedral sites, respectively.
