Crystal structure refinement of magnesium zinc divanadate, MgZnV₂O₇, from powder X-ray diffraction data.

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of magnesium zinc divanadate, MgZnV₂O₇, was determined and refined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. The title compound was synthesized by a solid-state reaction at 1023 K in air. The crystal structure is isotypic with Mn_0.6Zn_1.4V₂O₇ (C2/m; Z = 6) and is related to the crystal structure of thortveitite. The asymmetric unit contains two metal sites with statistically distributed magnesium and zinc atoms with the atomic ratio close to 1:1. One (Mg/Zn) metal site (M1) is located on Wyckoff position 8j and the other (M2) on 4h. Three V sites (all on 4i), and eight O (three 8j, four 4i, and one 2b) sites complete the asymmetric unit. The structure is an alternate stacking of V₂O₇ layers and (Mg/Zn) atom layers along [20]. It is distinct from other related structures in that each V₂O₇ layer consists of two groups: a V₂O₇ dimer and a V₄O₁₄ tetra-mer. Mixed-occupied M1 and M2 are coordinated by oxygen atoms in distorted trigonal bipyramidal and octa-hedral sites, respectively.

Crystal structures of two magnesium citrates from powder diffraction data.

Project description:The crystal structures of magnesium hydrogen citrate dihydrate, Mg(HC6H5O7)(H2O)2, (I), and bis-(di-hydrogen citrato)magnesium, Mg(H2C6H5O7)2, (II), have been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. In (I), the citrate anion occurs in the trans, trans-conformation, and triply chelates to the Mg cation. In (II), the citrate anion is trans, gauche, and doubly chelates to the Mg cation. In both compounds the Mg cation coordination polyhedron is an octa-hedron. In (I), the MgO6 coordination polyhedra are isolated, while in (II), they share edges to form chains. Strong O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are prominent in the two structures, as well as in the previously reported magnesium citrate deca-hydrate.

Crystal structure of Pigment Red 254 from X-ray powder diffraction data.

Project description:The crystal structure of Pigment Red 254 [P.R. 254, C18H10Cl2N2O2; systematic name: 3,6-bis-(4-chloro-phen-yl)-2,5-di-hydro-pyrrolo-[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione] was solved from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data using the simulated annealing method followed by Rietveld refinement because the very low solubility of the pigment in all solvents impedes the growth of single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis. The mol-ecule lies across an inversion center. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the pyrrole ring in the unique part of the mol-ecule is 11.1 (2)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [110] incorporating R22(8) rings.

A jumping crystal predicted with molecular dynamics and analysed with TLS refinement against powder diffraction data.

Project description:By running a temperature series of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations starting from the known low-temperature phase, the experimentally observed phase transition in a 'jumping crystal' was captured, thereby providing a prediction of the unknown crystal structure of the high-temperature phase and clarifying the phase-transition mechanism. The phase transition is accompanied by a discontinuity in two of the unit-cell parameters. The structure of the high-temperature phase is very similar to that of the low-temperature phase. The anisotropic displacement parameters calculated from the MD simulations readily identified libration as the driving force behind the phase transition. Both the predicted crystal structure and the phase-transition mechanism were verified experimentally using TLS (translation, libration, screw) refinement against X-ray powder diffraction data.

Crystal structures of crotonaldehyde semicarbazone and crotonaldehyde thiosemicarbazone from X-ray powder diffraction data.

Project description:Crotonaldehyde semicarbazone {systematic name: (E)-2-[(E)-but-2-en-1-yl-idene]hydrazinecarboxamide}, C5H9N3O, (I), and crotonaldehyde thio-semi-carba-zone {systematic name: (E)-2-[(E)-but-2-en-1-yldene]hydra-zinecarbo--thio-amide}, C5H9N3S, (II), show the same E conformation around the imine C=N bond. Compounds (I) and (II) were obtained by the condensation of crotonaldehyde with semicarbazide hydro-chloride and thio-semicarbazide, respectively. Each mol-ecule has an intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond, which generates an S(5) ring. In (I), the crotonaldehyde fragment is twisted by 2.59 (5)° from the semicarbazide mean plane, while in (II) the corresponding angle (with the thio-semicarbazide mean plane) is 9.12 (5)°. The crystal packing is different in the two compounds: in (I) inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into layers parallel to the bc plane, while weak inter-molecular N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds in (II) link the mol-ecules into chains propagating in [110].

Project description:The crystal structure of trirubidium citrate, 3Rb+·C6H5O73-, has been solved and refined using laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. The two independent Rb+ cations are seven- and eight-coordinate, with bond-valence sums of 0.99 and 0.92 valence units. The coordination polyhedra share edges and corners to form a three-dimensional framework. The only hydrogen bond is an intra-molecular one between the hy-droxy group and the central carboxyl-ate, with graph set S(5). The hydro-phobic methyl-ene groups lie in pockets in the framework.

Redetermination of the crystal structure of β-zinc molybdate from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data.

Project description:The crystal structure of the β-polymorph of ZnMoO4 was re-determined on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. In comparison with previous powder X-ray diffraction studies [Katikaneani & Arunachalam (2005 ▸). Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. pp. 3080-3087; Cavalcante et al. (2013 ▸). Polyhedron, 54, 13-25], all atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters, leading to a higher precision with respect to bond lengths and angles. β-ZnMoO4 adopts the wolframite structure type and is composed of distorted ZnO6 and MoO6 octa-hedra, both with point group symmetry 2. The distortion of the octa-hedra is reflected by variation of bond lengths and angles from 2.002 (3)-2.274 (4) Å, 80.63 (11)-108.8 (2)° for equatorial and 158.4 (2)- 162.81 (14)° for axial angles (ZnO6), and of 1.769 (3)-2.171 (3) Å, 73.39 (16)-104.7 (2), 150.8 (2)-164.89 (15)° (MoO6), respectively. In the crystal structure, the same type of MO6 octa-hedra share edges to built up zigzag chains extending parallel to [001]. The two types of chains are condensed by common vertices into a framework structure. The crystal structure can alternatively be described as derived from a distorted hexa-gonally closed packed arrangement of the O atoms, with Zn and Mo in half of the octa-hedral voids.

Rietveld refinement of KLaTiO(4) from X-ray powder data.

Project description:Potassium lanthanum titanate(IV), KLaTiO(4), has been synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction. It crystallizes isotypically with the NaLnTiO(4) (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Y and Lu) family. Five of the six atoms in the asymmetric unit (one K, one La, one Ti and two O atoms) are situated on sites with 4mm symmetry, whereas one O atom has 2mm. site symmetry. The crystal structure can be described as being composed of single layers of distorted corner-sharing TiO(6) octa-hedra extending parallel to (001). The layers are alternately separated by K(+) and La(3+) cations along [001]. The coordination number of both K(+) and La(3+) cations is nine, resulting in distorted KO(9) and LaO(9) polyhedra.

Crystal structure of dirubidium hydrogen citrate from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data and DFT comparison.

Project description:The crystal structure of dirubidium hydrogen citrate, 2Rb+·HC6H5O72-, has been solved and refined using laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. The un-ionized carb-oxy-lic acid group forms helical chains of very strong hydrogen bonds (O?O ? 2.42?Å) along the b axis. The hy-droxy group participates in a chain of intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds along the c axis. These hydrogen bonds result in corrugated hydrogen-bonded layers in the bc plane. The Rb+ cations are six-coordinate, and share edges and corners to form layers in the ab plane. The inter-layer contacts are composed of the hydro-phobic methyl-ene groups.
