Electrical Behavior of New Orthophosphates Na2M3(PO4)3 (M3=GaMn2, GaCd2, InMn2 and FeMnCd) with Alluaudite-Like Structure

New sodium orthophosphates of general formula Na₂M₃(PO₄)₃ belonging to the alluaudite-type structure have been synthesized and characterized by neutron and X-ray powder diffraction. The nature of the M₃ elements (M₃=GaMn₂, GaCd₂, InMn₂ and FeMnCd) was chosen in order to analyze their influence on electrical and magnetic properties. The conductivity of these materials was measured by the complex impedance method and the transport mechanism was studied from complex permittivities and modulus formalism. Electrical results including charge/discharge experiments showed two main behaviors: GaCd₂ and FeMnCd behave as purely ionic conductors whereas GaMn₂ and InMn₂ are mixed ionic-electronic conductors. The magnetic susceptibility data reveal the antiferromagnetic behavior of FeMnCd, InMn₂ and GaMn₂, with a weak ferromagnetic transition at low temperatures.     

Synthesis, X-ray diffraction analysis and NMR studies of (Z)-2-methyl-3-triphenylstannyl-3-pentene-2-ol

The synthesis of (Z)-2-methyl-3-triphenylstannyl-3-pentene-2-ol and its characterization by an X-ray diffraction study and multinuclear NMR are reported. The tin atom exhibits a distorted tetrahedral SnC₄ geometry with the four Sn---C bond distances experimentally equivalent. The slight distortion from the ideal tetrahedral geometry is because of the presence of a weak intramolecular HO → Sn interaction of 3.012(3) Å which produces a loose four-membered ring. The title compound was characterized in solution by ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR, and the persistence of the weak intramolecular HO → Sn coordination in solution was revealed by ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn secondary isotope multiplet of partially labelled entities (SIMPLE-NMR) experiments.     

Small-angle X-ray scattering studies of the open and closed conformations of aspartate aminotransferase

Summary Aspartate aminotransferase was investigated by X-ray small-angle scattering. A small difference was found between the open (active) and the closed (liganded) conformation of the enzyme. The results were compared with X-ray crystallography data.

X-ray crystallographic structure and physical properties of the pentacoordinated [TPAFeCl] complex

A new pentacoordinated ferrous compound [TPAFeCl]⁺ (TPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) was synthesized from the reaction between H₃TPA(ClO₄)₃ and Fe(PⁿPr₃)₂Cl₂ in MeCN. The unique trigonal bipyramidal [TPAFeCl]⁺ complex was characterized as a S = 2 high spin complex based on the crystallographic structure, magnetic susceptibility, ¹H NMR spectrum and semi-empirical ZINDO/S calculations. Crystal of [TPAFeCl]₂(FeCl₄)(MeCN)₂ was monoclinic with a = 12.019(2) Å, b = 27.550(5) Å, c = 14.138(2) Å, β = 94.168(3)°, V = 4668.9(13) Å³, space group C/c, and the unit cell contained a racemic mixture of Δ and Λ isomers with ferrous tetrachloride anion.     

Crystal structure of cobalt molybdate hydrate CoMoO4·nH2O

We have determined the crystal structure of the title compound, which has a triclinic cell with cell parameters of , , , α=76.617°, β=84.188°, γ=74.510° and space group . The crystal structure suggests the chemical formula CoMoO₄·3/4H₂O. The structure consists of MoO₄ tetrahedra and CoO₆ octahedra, confirming the earlier X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopic (XANES) investigation on the hydrate. The comparison of the crystal structures of the hydrate and the α-,β-, and hp-phases shows that the hydrate exhibits metal cation coordinations similar to those of the β-phase, but had arrangements of CoO₆ and MoO_n polyhedra similar to those of the hp-phase.
