Redetermination of tantalum penta-bromide, (TaBr(5))(2).

ABSTRACT: Crystals of di-μ-bromido-bis-[tetra-bromidotantalum(V)], (TaBr(5))(2), were obtained by recrystallization at 773 K. A first crystal structure study of (TaBr(5))(2) was reported by Rolsten [J. Am. Chem. Soc. (1958) ▶, 80, 2952-2953], who analysed the powder diffraction pattern and came to the conclusion that it crystallizes isotypically with (NbBr(5))(2) in a primitive ortho-rhom-bic cell. These findings are not in agreement with our current results of a monoclinic C-centred structure. (TaBr(5))(2) is isotypic with α-(NbCl(5))(2). The crystal structure contains [TaBr(6)] octa-hedra sharing common edges forming [TaBr(5)](2) dimers. Two crystallographically independent dimers with symmetries m and 2/m and Ta⋯Ta distances of 4.1574 (11) and 4.1551 (15) Å, respectively, are present in the structure.

Redetermination of l-tryptophan hydro-bromide.

Project description:The redetermined crystal structure of the title compound, C(11)H(13)N(2)O(2) (+)·Br(-), is reported. Data collection at 100 K about three crystallographic axes resulted in a crystal structure with significantly higher precision in comparison to the two-dimensional data collected at 176 K [Takigawa et al. [(1966) Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn, 39, 2369-2378]. The carboxyl group and indole ring system are planar, with maximum deviations of 0.002 (2) and 0.007 (2) Å, respectively, and make an angle of 70.17 (1)° with each other. The mol-ecules are arranged in double layers of carboxyl and amino groups parallel to the ab plane, stabilized by an extensive network of N-H⋯Br and O-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds. The polar layer is held together by a network of three N-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds and one O-H⋯Br hydrogen bond. In the non-polar layer, the indole rings are linked mainly by electrostatic N-H⋯C inter-actions between the polarized bond N-H (H is δ(+)) of the pyrrole unit and two of the ring C atoms (δ(-)) of the benzene rings of adjacent mol-ecules. The distances of these electrostatic inter-actions are 2.57 and 2.68 Å, respectively. C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions are also present.

Octahedral Tantalum Bromide Clusters as Catalysts for Light-Driven Hydrogen Evolution.

Project description:The development of an efficient hydrogen generation strategy from aqueous protons using sunlight is a current challenge aimed at the production of low-cost, easily accessible, renewable molecular hydrogen. For achieving this goal, non-noble metal containing and highly active catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are desirable. Octahedral tantalum halide clusters {Ta6(μ-X)12}2+ (X = halogen) represent an emerging class of such HER photocatalysts. In this work, the photocatalytic properties of octahedral aqua tantalum bromide clusters toward HER and in acid and homogeneous aqueous conditions were investigated. The [{Ta6Bri12}Bra2(H2O)a4]·4H2O (i = inner ligand; a = apical ligand) compound is revealed to be an efficient precatalyst in acid (HBr) conditions and with methanol as the sacrificial agent. A response surface methodology (RSM) study was applied for the optimization of the HER conditions, considering the concentrations of both additives (methanol and HBr) as independent variables. An optimal H2 production of 11 mmol·g-1 (TON = 25) was achieved, which displays exceptional catalytic properties compared to regular Ta-based materials. The aqua tantalum bromide clusters assist in the photocatalytic hydrogen generation in agreement with energy-conversion schemes, and plausible active catalytic species and a reaction mechanism were proposed from computational and experimental perspectives.

Low-temperature redetermination of 1,3-bis-(penta-fluoro-phen-yl)triazene.

Project description:The crystal structure of the title compound, (C(6)F(5))(2)N(3)H, is stabilized by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonding, forming centrosymmetric dimers organized in a herringbone motif. Important geometrical parameters are N-N = 1.272 (2) and 1.330 (2) Å and N-N-N = 112.56 (15)°. The dihedral angle between C(6)F(5) groups is 21.22 (9)°. The room temperature structure was reported by Leman et al. (1993). Inorg. Chem.32, 4324-4336]. In the current determination, the data were collected to a higher θ angle, resulting in higher precision for the C-C bond lengths(0.001-0.005 versus 0.003 Å).

A redetermination at low temperature of the structure of triethyl-ammonium bromide.

Project description:The structure of the title compound, C(6)H(16)N(+)·Br(-), was determined at low temperature and the cell dimensions were comparable to those reported for room-temperature studies [James, Cameron, Knop, Newman & Falp, (1985). Can. J. Chem.63, 1750-1758]. Initial analysis of the data led to the assignment of P3(1)c as the space group rather than P6(3)mc as reported for the room-temperature structure. Careful examination of the appropriate |F(o)| values in the low-temperature data showed that the equalities |F(kl)| = |F(hl)| and |F(hkl)| = |F(hk)| did not hold at low temperature, confirming P3(1)c as the appropriate choice of space group. As a consequence of this choice, the N atom sat on a threefold axis and the ethyl arms were not disordered as observed at room temperature. The crystal studied was an inversion twin with a 0.68 (3):0.32 (3) domain ratio.

Redetermination of tricalcium trilanthanum penta-kis(ortho-borate) from single-crystal data.

Project description:Single crystals of the title compound, Ca(3)La(3)(BO(3))(5), were obtained by spontaneous nucleation from a high-temperature melt. The crystal structure of Ca(3)La(3)(BO(3))(5) has been determined previously from X-ray powder data [Zhang, Liang, Chen, He & Xu (2001). J. Alloys Compd, 327, 96-99]. The present refinement shows a significant improvement in terms of the precision of the geometric parameters and the correct determination of the absolute configuration in space group P6(3)mc with all atoms refined with anisotropic displacement parameters. The structure consists of isolated BO(3) triangles and distorted [CaO(8)] and [LaO(10)] polyhedra. Except for one O atom, all other atoms are situated on special positions: La, all O and one B atom on mirror planes, and two B atoms with site symmetry 3m.

Tetra-n-butyl-ammonium bromide: a redetermination at 150 K addressing the merohedral twinning.

Project description:The redetermined, low temperature (150 K), structure of tetra-n-butyl-ammonium bromide, (C(4)H(9))(4)N(+)·Br(-), has been found to be merohedrally twinned via twin law -1 0 0, 0 - 1 0, 1 0 1. The structure was previously determined, with low precision, no inclusion of H atoms and only the bromide ion refined with anisotropic displacement parameters, by Wang et al. (1995 ▶). Mol. Cryst. Liq. Cryst. Sci. Tech. A, 264, 115-129. The redetermined structure has considerably improved precision in all geometrical parameters, has all non-H atoms refined anisotropically, H atoms included, and is isomorphous with the iodide analogue. The structure is otherwise routine, with the shortest cation to anion contacts being between the bromide anion and the CH atoms close to the ammonium nitro-gen centre at a distance of ca. 2.98-3.11 Å. Each anion makes eight such contacts to four different anions. The n-butyl chains are fully extended, adopting an all-anti conformation with approximate S(4) point symmetry.

Nanostructured Hybrids Based on Tantalum Bromide Octahedral Clusters and Graphene Oxide for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution.

Project description:The generation of hydrogen (H2) using sunlight has become an essential energy alternative for decarbonization. The need for functional nanohybrid materials based on photo- and electroactive materials and accessible raw materials is high in the field of solar fuels. To reach this goal, single-step synthesis of {Ta6Bri12}@GO (GO = graphene oxide) nanohybrids was developed by immobilization of [{Ta6Bri12}Bra2(H2O)a4]·4H2O (i = inner and a = apical positions of the Ta6 octahedron) on GO nanosheets by taking the advantage of the easy ligand exchange of the apical cluster ligands with the oxygen functionalities of GO. The nanohybrids were characterized by spectroscopic, analytical, and morphological techniques. The hybrid formation enhances the yield of photocatalytic H2 from water with respect to their precursors and this is without the presence of precious metals. This enhancement is attributed to the optimal cluster loading onto the GO support and the crucial role of GO in the electron transfer from Ta6 clusters into GO sheets, thus suppressing the charge recombination. In view of the simplicity and versatility of the designed photocatalytic system, octahedral tantalum clusters are promising candidates to develop new and environmentally friendly photocatalysts for H2 evolution.

Glycine zinc sulfate penta-hydrate: redetermination at 10 K from time-of-flight neutron Laue diffraction.

Project description:Single crystals of glycine zinc sulfate penta-hydrate [systematic name: hexa-aqua-zinc tetra-aquadiglycinezinc bis-(sulfate)], [Zn(H2O)6][Zn(C2H5NO2)2(H2O)4](SO4)2, have been grown by isothermal evaporation from aqueous solution at room temperature and characterized by single-crystal neutron diffraction. The unit cell contains two unique ZnO6 octa-hedra on sites of symmetry -1 and two SO4 tetra-hedra with site symmetry 1; the octa-hedra comprise one [tetra-aqua-diglycine zinc]2+ ion (centred on one Zn atom) and one [hexa-aqua-zinc]2+ ion (centred on the other Zn atom); the glycine zwitterion, NH3+CH2COO-, adopts a monodentate coordination to the first Zn atom. All other atoms sit on general positions of site symmetry 1. Glycine forms centrosymmetric closed cyclic dimers due to N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the amine and carboxyl-ate groups of adjacent zwitterions and exhibits torsion angles varying from ideal planarity by no more than 1.2°, the smallest values for any known glycine zwitterion not otherwise constrained by a mirror plane. This work confirms the H-atom locations estimated in three earlier single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies with the addition of independently refined fractional coordinates and Uij parameters, which provide accurate inter-nuclear X-H (X = N, O) bond lengths and consequently a more accurate and precise depiction of the hydrogen-bond framework.

Redetermination of (acetonitrile-κN)dicarbon-yl(η(5)-cyclo-penta-dien-yl)iron(II) tetra-fluoridoborate.

Project description:The crystal structure of the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(CH(3)CN)(CO)(2)]BF(4), of which only the coordinates of the non-H atoms of the cation have previously been reported [Fadel et al. (1979 ▶). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem.453, 98-106] has been redetermined. The Fe(II) atom in the complex cation is coordinated by a cyclo-penta-dienyl ring, two carbonyl ligands and an acetonitrile mol-ecule displaying a three-legged piano stool structure. Three of the four F atoms of the BF(4) (-) anion are disordered over two sets of sites, with a site-occupancy factor of 0.709 (10) for the major occupied site.

Redetermination of 1-naphthalene-acetic acid.

Project description:The crystal structure of the title compound, C(12)H(10)O(2), was originally determined by Rajan [Acta Cryst. (1978). B34, 998-1000] using intensity data estimated from Weissenberg films. This redetermination provides a structure with significantly improved precision with respect to the geometric parameters. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H?O hydrogen bonds, weak C-H?O hydrogen bonds and C-H?? inter-actions link the mol-ecules into a two-dimensional sheet lying parallel to (100).
