Crystal structure of Zn₂(HTeO₃)(AsO₄).

ABSTRACT: Single crystals of Zn₂(HTeO₃)(AsO₄), dizinc(II) hydroxidodioxidotellurate(IV) oxidoarsenate(V), were obtained as one of the by-products in a hydro-thermal reaction between Zn(NO₃)₂·6H₂O, TeO₂, H₃AsO₄ and NH₃ in molar ratios of 2:1:2:10 at 483 K for seven days. The asymmetric unit of Zn₂(HTeO₃)(AsO₄) contains one Te (site symmetry m), one As (m), one Zn (1), five O (three m, two 1) and one H (m) site. The Zn^II atom exhibits a coordination number of 5 and is coordinated by four oxygen atoms and a hydroxide group, forming a distorted trigonal bipyramid. The hydroxide ion is positioned at a significantly larger distance on one of the axial positions of the bipyramid. The [ZnO₄OH] polyhedra are connected to each other by corner-sharing to form _∞ ²[ZnO_3/2(OH)_1/2O_1/1] layers extending parallel to (001). The Te^IV atom is coordinated by three oxygen atoms and a hydroxide group in a one-sided manner in the shape of a bis-phenoid, revealing stereochemical activity of its 5s ² electron lone pair. The As^V atom is coordinated by four oxygen atoms to form the tetra-hedral oxidoarsenate(V) anion. By corner-sharing, [TeO₃OH] and [AsO₄] groups link adjacent _∞ ²[ZnO_3/2(OH)_1/2O_1/1] layers along [001] into a three-dimensional framework structure.

Crystal structure of BaMn2(AsO4)2 containing discrete [Mn4O18]28- units.

Project description:In our attempt to search for mixed alkaline-earth and transition metal arsenates, the title compound, barium dimanganese(II) bis-(arsenate), has been synthesized by employing a high-temperature RbCl flux. The crystal structure of BaMn2(AsO4)2 is made up of MnO6 octa-hedra and AsO4 tetra-hedra assembled by sharing corners and edges into infinite slabs with composition [Mn2(AsO4)2]2- that extend parallel to the ab plane. The barium cations reside between parallel slabs maintaining the inter-slab connectivity through coordination to eight oxygen anions. The layered anionic framework comprises weakly inter-acting [Mn4O18]28- tetra-meric units. In each tetra-mer, the manganese(II) cations are in a planar arrangement related by a center of inversion. Within the slabs, the tetra-meric units are separated from each other by 6.614 (2) Å (Mn⋯Mn distances). The title compound has isostructural analogues amongst synthetic SrM2(XO4)2 compounds with M = Ni, Co, and X = As, P.

Crystal structures of Zn(cyclam)I2 (second monoclinic polymorph) and Zn(cyclam)I(I3).

Project description:The asymmetric unit of the first title compound iodido-(1,4,8,11-tetra-aza-cyclo-tetra-decane-κ4 N 1,N 4,N 8,N 11)zinc(II) iodide, [ZnI(C10H24N4)]I, I, consists of the zinc-cyclam macrocyclic cation with one iodide anion coordinated to the metal ion [Zn-I = 2.6619 (5) Å] and the second present as a counter-ion. The asymmetric unit of the second title compound iodido-(1,4,8,11-tetra-aza-cyclo-tetra-decane-κ4 N 1,N 4,N 8,N 11)zinc(II) triiodide, [ZnI(C10H24N4)]I3, II, consists of half of the centrosymmetric macrocyclic cation, in which the ZnII ion coordinated to an iodide anion [Zn-I = 2.766 (2) Å] is disordered over two positions [Zn⋯Zn = 0.810 (3) Å], and of the two halves of the crystallographically non-equivalent, non-coordinated, centrosymmetric triiodide anions. In both compounds, the N,N,N,N-tetra-dentate macrocyclic ligand is present in the most energetically favored trans-III conformation. In the crystals of I, the [Zn(C10H24N4)I]+ cations and the non-coordinated iodide anions are linked by N-H⋯I and bifurcated N-H⋯(I,I) hydrogen bonds, resulting in the formation of two-dimensional networks lying parallel to the (001) and (101) planes. In contrast, the crystals of II are built up from infinite chains of the five-coordinate macrocyclic units arranged along the b-axis direction and perpendicular sheets formed of the triiodide counter-ions without significant hydrogen bonding between them.

Crystal structure of the uranyl arsenate mineral hugelite, Pb2(UO2)3O2(AsO4)2(H2O)5, revisited: a correct unit cell, twinning and hydrogen bonding.

Project description:Revisiting the structure of uranyl arsenate mineral hügelite provided some corrections to the available structural data. The previous twinning model (by reticular merohedry) in hügelite has been corrected. Twinning of the monoclinic unit cell [a = 7.0189 (7) Å, b = 17.1374 (10) Å, c = 8.1310 (10) Å and β = 108.904 (10)°], which can be expressed as a mirror in [100], leads to a pseudo-orthorhombic unit cell (a = 7.019 Å, b = 17.137 Å, c = 61.539 Å and β = 90.02°), which is eight times larger, with respect to the unit-cell volume, than a real cell. Moreover, the unit cell of chosen here and the unit cell given by the previous structure description both lead to the same supercell. A new structure refinement undertaken on an untwinned crystal of hügelite resulted in R = 4.82% for 12 864 reflections with Iobs > 3σ(I) and GOF = 1.12. The hydrogen-bonding scheme has been proposed for hügelite for the first time.

Defect-induced ultimately fast volume phonon-polaritons in the wurtzite Zn0.74Mg0.26Se mixed crystal.

Project description:Volume-phonon-polaritons (VPP's) propagating at a light-in-vacuum-like speed are identified in the wurtzite-type Zn0.74Mg0.26Se mixed crystal by near-forward Raman scattering. Their detection is selective to both the laser energy and the laser polarization, depending on whether the ordinary (n0) or extraordinary (ne) refractive index is addressed. Yet, no significant linear birefringence (n0?[Formula: see text]?ne) is observed by ellipsometry. The current access to ultrafast VPP's is attributed to the quasi-resonant Raman probing of an anomalous dispersion of n0 due to impurity levels created deep in the optical band gap by oriented structural defects. The resonance conditions are evidenced by a dramatic enhancement of the Raman signals due to the polar modes. Hence, this work reveals a capacity for the lattice defects' engineering to "accelerate" the VPP's of a mixed crystal up to light-in-vacuum-like speeds. This is attractive for ultrafast signal processing in the terahertz range. On the fundamental side we provide an insight into the VPP's created by alloying ultimately close to the center of the Brillouin zone.

Crystal structures of the solid solutions Na3Zn0.912Cd0.088B5O10 and Na3Zn0.845Mg0.155B5O10.

Project description:Two new penta-borates, tris-odium zinc cadmium penta-borate, Na3Zn0.912Cd0.088B5O10, and tris-odium zinc magnesium penta-borate, Na3Zn0.845Mg0.155B5O10, have been synthesized by high-temperature solution reactions at 1023?K. Their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both solid solutions crystallize in the ortho-rhom-bic form of the parent compound Na3ZnB5O10 (space group type Pbca, Z = 8) and contain the double ring [B5O10]5- anion composed of one BO4 tetra-hedron and four BO3 triangles as the basic structural motif. The anions are bridged by tetra-hedrally coordinated and occupationally disordered M2+ (M = Zn/Cd, Zn/Mg) cations via common O atoms to form [MB5O10] n3n- layers. The intra-layer inter-secting channels and the inter-layer voids are occupied by Na+ cations to balance the charge.

The crystal structure of KScP2O7.

Project description:Single crystals of KScP2O7, potassium scandium diphosphate, were grown in a borate flux. The title compound crystallizes isotypically with KAlP2O7 in space-group type P21/c, Z = 4. The main building block is an {ScP2O11}9- unit, forming layers parallel to (001). These layers are stacked along [001] via common corners of octa-hedral and tetra-hedral units to span up large hepta-gonal cavities that host the potassium cations with a coordination number of 10. The P-O-P bridging angle increases with increasing size of the octa-hedrally coordinated M III cation, as do the K-O distances within a series of KM IIIP2O7 compounds (M III = Al to Y with ionic radii r = 0.538 to 0.90 Å).

Identifying the structure of Zn-N2 active sites and structural activation.

Project description:Identification of active sites is one of the main obstacles to rational design of catalysts for diverse applications. Fundamental insight into the identification of the structure of active sites and structural contributions for catalytic performance are still lacking. Recently, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and density functional theory (DFT) provide important tools to disclose the electronic, geometric and catalytic natures of active sites. Herein, we demonstrate the structural identification of Zn-N2 active sites with both experimental/theoretical X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra. Further DFT calculations reveal that the oxygen species activation on Zn-N2 active sites is significantly enhanced, which can accelerate the reduction of oxygen with high selectivity, according well with the experimental results. This work highlights the identification and investigation of Zn-N2 active sites, providing a regular principle to obtain deep insight into the nature of catalysts for various catalytic applications.

Crystal structure of Ba2Co(BO3)2.

Project description:Single crystals of dibarium cobalt(II) bis-(orthoborate), Ba2Co(BO3)2, have been obtained from the melt. The crystal structure is composed of two isolated (BO3)3- triangles linked to Co2+ cations. The resulting [CoO5] square pyramids and the borate anions make up branched rows extending parallel to [010]. The barium cations occupy two sites in the voids of this arrangement and exhibit coordination numbers of nine each. A comparison with the structures of other A 2 M(BO3)2 compounds reveals a unique five-coordination of the small metal M in the title compound instead of four- or six-coordination for the other A 2 M(BO3)2 compounds with M = Cu, Zn, Mg, Ca, or Cd.

Crystal structure of Li3Ga(BO3)2.

Project description:The crystal structure of trilithium gallium bis-(orthoborate), Li3Ga(BO3)2, is isotypic with Li3Al(BO3)2 in a triclinic cell in space-group type P-1. The three Li and the unique Ga atom are coordinated by four O atoms each in tetra-hedra, and the two B atoms are coordinated by three O atoms in orthoborate triangles. Chains with composition [Ga2(BO3)4]6- extend along the a axis. The Li atoms inter-leave these chains in tetra-hedral inter-stices. A comparison is made between the structure model of the title compound and that of a previously reported model for a compound with the same composition [Abdullaev & Mamedov (1972 ▸). Zh. Strukt. Khim. 13, 943-946.].

Ba33Zn22Al8O67 with a Framework of ([O(Zn/Al)4]/Ba)(Zn/AlO4)4 Motifs.

Project description:Single crystals of a new oxide, Ba33Zn22Al8O67 (melting point = 1452 K), were grown in a melt-solidified sample prepared by heating a compact of a BaCO3, ZnO, and Al2O3 mixed powder in a dry airflow. Ba33Zn22Al8O67 can be handled in dry air, but it decomposes into carbonates, hydroxides, and hydrates in humid air. Single-crystal X-ray structure analysis clarified that Ba33Zn22Al8O67 crystallizes in a cubic cell (a = 16.3328 (3) Å, space group F23) having a three-dimensional Zn/AlO4 framework in which {([OZn4]/Ba)(Zn/AlO4)4} motifs are connected to each other by bridging Zn/AlO4 tetrahedra. A Ba atom or a [OZn4] cluster is statistically situated at the center of the motif with a probability of 0.5. Motifs of another type, {([O(Zn/Al)4])(Zn/AlO4)4}, are isolated from the Zn/AlO4 framework. These motifs, {([OZn4]/Ba)(Zn/AlO4)4} and {([O(Zn/Al)4])(Zn/AlO4)4}, are alternatingly arranged along the a axis like a checkered cube, and Ba atoms are situated between the motifs. A linear thermal expansion coefficient of 10.4 × 10-6 K-1 was measured in an Ar gas flow at 301-873 K for a sintered Ba33Zn22Al8O67 polycrystalline sample with a relative density of 73%. A relative permittivity of 31 and a temperature coefficient of 15 ppm K-1 at 301 K were obtained for another sintered sample (relative density = 70%) in a dry airflow. The electrical conductivity at 1073 K and the activation energy for conduction at 923-1073 K measured for the sintered samples in dry and wet airflows were 6.2 × 10-7 S cm-1 and 0.65 eV and 2.9 × 10-6 S cm-1 and 0.59 eV, respectively.
