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 structure of K6[Zn(CO3)4]

Project description:The crystal structure of the title compound comprises a tetracarbonatozincate(II) anion, [Zn(CO3)4]6−, with point-group symmetry 2 where the ZnII atom is surrounded in a distorted tetrahedral manner by four monodentate carbonate groups. The crystal structure of K6[Zn(CO3)4], hexapotassium tetracarbonatozincate(II), comprises four unique potassium cations (two located on a general position, and two on the twofold rotation axis of the space group C2/c) and a [Zn(CO3)4]6− anion. The ZnII atom of the latter is located on the twofold rotation axis and is surrounded in a slightly distorted tetrahedral manner by two pairs of monodentately binding carbonate groups, with Zn—O distances of 1.9554 (18) and 1.9839 (18) Å. Both carbonate groups exhibit a slight deviation from planarity, with the C atom being shifted by 0.008 (2) and 0.006 (3) Å, respectively, from the plane of the three O atoms. The coordination numbers of the potassium cations range from 6 to 8, using a threshold of 3.0 Å for K—O bonding interactions being significant. In the crystal structure, [KOx] polyhedra and [Zn(CO3)4]6− groups share O atoms to build up the framework structure.

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.

Synthesis, crystal structure determination of a novel phosphate Ag1.64Zn1.64Fe1.36(PO4)3 with an alluaudite-like structure.

Project description:Single crystals of Ag1.64Zn1.64Fe1.36(PO4)3 [silver zinc iron phosphate (1.64/1.64/1.36/3)] have been synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The title compound crystallizes with an alluaudite-like structure. All atoms of the structure are in general positions except for four, which reside on special positions of the space group, C2/c. The Ag+ cations reside at full occupancy on inversion centre sites and at partial occupancy (64%) on a twofold rotation axis. In this structure, the unique Fe3+ ion with one of the two Zn2+ cations are substitutionally disordered on the same general position (Wyckoff site 8f), with a respective ratio of 0.68/0.32 (occupancies were fixed so as to ensure electrical neutrality for the whole structure). The remaining O and P atoms are located in general positions. The three-dimensional framework of this structure consists of kinked chains of edge-sharing octa-hedra stacked parallel to [10]. These chains are built up by a succession of [MO6] (M = Zn/Fe or Zn) units. Adjacent chains are connected by the PO4 anions, forming sheets oriented perpendicular to [010]. These inter-connected sheets generate two types of channels parallel to the c axis, in which the Ag+ cations are located. The validity and adequacy of the proposed structural model of Ag1.64Zn1.64Fe1.36(PO4)3 was established by means of bond-valence-sum (BVS) and charge-distribution (CHARDI) analysis tools.

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.

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.

Structure and Physical Properties of Mg93-xZnxCa7 Metallic Glasses.

Project description:The Mg-Zn-Ca system has previously been proposed as the most suitable biodegradable candidate for biomedical applications. In this work, a series of ribbon specimens was fabricated using a melt-spinning technique to explore the glass-forming ability of the Mg-Zn-Ca system along the concentration line of 7 at.% of calcium. A glassy state is confirmed for Mg50Zn43Ca7, Mg60Zn33Ca7, and Mg70Zn23Ca7. Those samples were characterised by standard methods to determine their mass density, hardness, elastic modulus, and crystallisation temperatures during devitrification. Their amorphous structure is described by means of pair distribution functions obtained by high-energy X-ray and neutron diffraction (HEXRD and ND) measurements performed at large-scale facilities. The contributions of pairs Mg-Mg, Mg-Zn, and Zn-Zn were identified. In addition, a transformation process from an amorphous to crystalline structure is followed in situ by HEXRD for Mg60Zn33Ca7 and Mg50Zn43Ca7. Intermetallic compounds IM1 and IM3 and hcp-Mg phase are proposed to be formed in multiple crystallisation eventss.

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.
