A classical elpasolite-type structure is considered with respect to dynamically disordered ammonium fluoro-(oxofluoro-)metallates. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data from high quality (NH4)3HfF7 and (NH4)3Ti(O2)F5 samples enabled the refinement of the ligand and cationic positions in the cubic Fm \bar 3 m (Z = 4) structure. Electron-density atomic profiles show that the ligand atoms are distributed in a mixed (split) position instead of 24e. One of the ammonium groups is disordered near 8c so that its central atom (N1) forms a tetrahedron with vertexes in 32f. However, a center of another group (N2) remains in the 4b site, whereas its H atoms (H2) occupy the 96k positions instead of 24e and, together with the H3 atom in the 32f position, they form eight spatial orientations of the ammonium group. It is a common feature of all ammonium fluoroelpasolites with orientational disorder of structural units of a dynamic nature.

Under the experimental condition that all Bragg peaks in a powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) pattern have the same shape, one can readily obtain the Bragg intensities without fitting any parameters. This condition is fulfilled at the P02.1 beamline at PETRA III using the seventh harmonic from a 23 mm-period undulator (60 keV) at a distance of 65 m. For grain sizes of the order of 1 µm, the Bragg peak shape in the PXRD is entirely determined by the diameter of the capillary containing the powder sample and the pixel size of the image plate detector, and consequently it is independent of the scattering angle. As an example, a diamond powder has been chosen and structure factors derived which are in accordance with those calculated from density functional theory methods of theWIEN2kpackage to within an accuracy that allows a detailed electron density analysis.

The deformation density (Δρ) for Y2BaCuO5, barium diyttrium cuprate, determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction with synchrotron radiation, is affected to only a limited degree by the bonding interactions involving the O anions. Electron density is strongly depleted along the cation–cation contacts within the mirror plane in the structure and is transferred to regions between mirror planes that do not lie along short cation–cation vectors. The structural geometry for the CuO5 moiety, with the Cu atom in the +2 state, closely resembles that of the Cu2O5 group in YBa2Cu3O7−δ , for which the +3 state involvement for Cu has been suggested. Space group Pnma, orthorhombic, Mr = 458.68, a = 12.1793 (7), b = 5.6591 (5), c = 7.1323 (4) Å, V = 491.6 Å3, Z = 4, Dx = 6.197 Mg m−3, λ = 0.9 Å, μ 0.9 = 28.893 mm−1, F(000) = 812, T = 293 K, R = 0.020, wR = 0.020, S = 3.09 (5) for 2225 unique reflections.

In this study, the nature and characteristics of a short Br...π interaction observed in an ebselen derivative, 2-(2-bromophenyl)benzo[d][1,2]selenazol-3(2H)-one, has been explored. The electronic nature of this Br...π interaction was investigated via high-resolution X-ray diffraction and periodic density functional theory calculations using atoms-in-molecules (AIM) analysis. This study unravels the simultaneous presence of σ-hole and π-hole bonding characteristics in the same interaction. The dual characteristics of this unique Br...π interaction are further established via molecular electrostatic potentials (MESPs) and natural bond orbitals (NBOs).
