The crystal structure of the binary compound tetracalcium triarsenide, Ca4As3, was investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Ca4As3crystallizes in the Ba4P3structure type and is thus a homologue of isotypic Sr4As3. The unit cell contains 32 Ca2+cations, 16 As3−isolated anions and four centrosymmetric [As2]4–dumbbells. The As atoms in each of the dumbbells are connected by a single bond, thus this calcium arsenide is a Zintl phase.

AbstractThe crystal structure of the phase Ce5AgxGe4−x (x = 0.1−1.08) has been determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data for Ce5Ag0.1Ge3.9. This phase is isotypic with Sm5Ge4: space group Pnma (No. 62), Pearson code oP36, Z = 4, a = 7.9632(2), b = 15.2693(5), c = 8.0803(2) Å; R1 = 0.0261, wR2 = 0.0460, 1428 F2 values and 48 variables. The two crystallographic positions 8d and 4c show Ge/Ag mixing, leading to a slight increase in the lattice parameters as compared to those of the pure binary compound Ce5Ge4.

The crystal structure redetermination of Sr2PdO3 (distrontium palladium trioxide) was carried out using high-quality single-crystal X-ray data. The Sr2PdO3 structure has been described previously in at least three reports [Wasel-Nielen & Hoppe (1970). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 375, 209–213; Muller & Roy (1971). Adv. Chem. Ser. 98, 28–38; Nagata et al. (2002). J. Alloys Compd. 346, 50–56], all based on powder X-ray diffraction data. The current structure refinement of Sr2PdO3, as compared to previous powder data refinements, leads to more precise cell parameters and fractional coordinates, together with anisotropic displacement parameters for all sites. The compound is confirmed to have the orthorhombic Sr2CuO3 structure type (space group Immm) as reported previously. The structure consists of infinite chains of corner-sharing PdO4 plaquettes interspersed by SrII atoms. A brief comparison of Sr2PdO3 with the related K2NiF4 structure type is given.

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] antiprisms, 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.

Single crystals of rubidium tetrafluoridobromate(III), RbBrF4, were grown by melting and recrystallizing RbBrF4 from its melt. This is the first determination of the crystal structure of RbBrF4 using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. We confirmed that the structure contains square-planar [BrF4]− anions and rubidium cations that are coordinated by F atoms in a square-antiprismatic manner. The compound crystallizes in the KBrF4 structure type. Atomic coordinates and bond lengths and angles were determined with higher precision than in a previous report based on powder X-ray diffraction data [Ivlev et al. (2015). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 641, 2593–2598].

Abstract The caesium phosphates Cs3(H1.5PO4)2(H2O)2 and Cs3(H1.5PO4)2 were obtained from aqueous solutions, and Cs4P2O7(H2O)4 and CsPO3 from solid state reactions, respectively. Cs3(H1.5PO4)2, Cs4P2O7(H2O)4, and CsPO3 were fully structurally characterized for the first time on basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data recorded at − 173 °C. Monoclinic Cs3(H1.5PO4)2 (Z = 2, C2/m) represents a new structure type and comprises hydrogen phosphate groups involved in the formation of a strong non-symmetrical hydrogen bond (accompanied by a disordered H atom over a twofold rotation axis) and a very strong symmetric hydrogen bond (with the H atom situated on an inversion centre) with symmetry-related neighbouring anions. Triclinic Cs4P2O7(H2O)4 (Z = 2, P$$\bar{1}$$ 1 ¯ ) crystallizes also in a new structure type and is represented by a diphosphate group with a P–O–P bridging angle of 128.5°. Although H atoms of the water molecules were not modelled, O···O distances point to hydrogen bonds of medium strengths in the crystal structure. CsPO3 is monoclinic (Z = 4, P21/n) and belongs to the family of catena-polyphosphates (MPO3)n with a repetition period of 2. It is isotypic with the room-temperature modification of RbPO3. The crystal structure of Cs3(H1.5PO4)2(H2O)2 was re-evaluated on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data at − 173 °C, revealing that two adjacent hydrogen phosphate anions are connected by a very strong and non-symmetrical hydrogen bond, in contrast to the previously described symmetrical bonding situation derived from room temperature X-ray diffraction data. In the four title crystal structures, coordination numbers of the caesium cations range from 7 to 12. Graphic abstract

The synthesis of triphenyltelluroniumsulfide (Ph3TeS)4 is described together with a NMR-spectroscopic characterization. The structure of the title compound was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystals of triphenyltelluroniumsulfide are triclinic (space group P1) with the cell parameters a = 1178.0(3) pm. b = 1295.8(6) pm. c = 1298.7(4) pm, α = 77.67(3)°, β = 82.18(2)°, γ = 66.00(2)° (V = 1766(1) × 106 pm3) and Z = 2. The compound appears to form a step-like structure of two [Ph3TeS]2 units and crystallizes with two molecules of CH2Cl2 per unit cell.

Abstract The crystal structure of a copper(II) complex of protonated sildenafil, CuCl3C22H31N6O4S⋅2H2O was studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with the unit cell parameters a = 15.4292(2), b = 9.06735(12), c = 21.1752(2) Å, V = 2945.48(7) Å3, Z = 4. The Cu atom is coordinated by the sildenafil ligand via the N2 atom of the pyrazolopyrimidine ring and by three chloride anions. Sildenafil is protonated at the methylated N6 atom of the piperazine ring and it is cation ligand with a 1+ charge.

Reactions between Co(II), Diphos, and NaBH3CN lead to Co(BH3CN)2(Diphos)2, 1, or [Co(BH3CN)(Diphos)2]X, 2 (X = ClO4 or BPh4), and, in certain solvents, 2 reacts to produce [Co(CN)(Diphos)2](ClO4). Compound 1 can be reversibly converted to Co(BH3CN)2(DMF)4, 4, via Co(BH3CN)2(Diphos)(DMF). In addition, 1 reacts with CO to form the Co(I) and Co(III) compounds [Co(Diphos)2](CO)]X and [Co(Diphos)2(CN)2]X (X = BH3CN or BPh4). Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of 4 show that the compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group [Formula: see text], with unit cell parameters a = 7.572(6), b = 9.695(6), c = 9.395(6) Å, α = 81.06(4), β = 68.46(5), γ = 68.19(5)°, V = 595.5 Å3, Z = 1, and dcalcd = 1.202 g cm−3. The structure converged to a conventional R factor of 0.040 for 2841 observations and showed an octahedral arrangement of four O atoms from DMF molecules and two trans N-bound BH3CN groups around the Co(II) center.

The crystal structure of triclinic rubidium dichromate has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to space group [Formula: see text] with a = 13.554, b = 7.640, c = 7.735 Å, α = 93.64°, β = 98.52°, γ = 88.80° and has four Rb2Cr2O7 units in the unit cell. The final weighted agreement index after refinement by least-squares analysis is 0.058. The configuration of the dichromate ions is similar to that found in most other dichromate structures (Cr—O (bridging) = 1.78 Å, Cr—O (terminal) = 1.62 Å). The two non-equivalent Cr—O—Cr angles are 123 and 137°. The rubidium ions are surrounded by either 8 or 9 oxygen atoms at distances ranging from 2.86 to 3.31 Å. The structure of triclinic Rb2Cr2O7 is similar, but not identical, to that of triclinic K2Cr2O7.

The crystal structure of Mg2B25, dimagnesium pentaeicosaboride, was reexamined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The structural model previously reported on the basis of powder X-ray diffraction data [Giunchi et al. (2006). Solid State Sci. 8, 1202–1208] has been confirmed, although a much higher precision refinement was achieved, leading to much smaller standard uncertainties on bond lengths and refined occupancy factors. Moreover, all atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters. Mg2B25 crystallizes in the β-boron structure type and is isostructural with other rhombohedral compounds of the boron-rich metal boride family. Magnesium atoms are found in interstitial sites on special positions (two with site symmetry .m, one with .2 and one with 3m), all with partial occupancies.
