Abstract  

The unstable crystals of triammonium fac-trichloridotrioxidorhenate(VII) chloride have been obtained from ammonium rhenate(VII) solution in concentrated hydrochloric acid. The crystal structure consists of fac-trichloridotrioxidorhenate(VII) anions, chloride anions and ammonium cations. Each fac-trichloridotrioxidorhenate(VII) anion and each chloride anion lies in special position of 3m site symmetry (cell parameters: a = 9.026(3) Å; c = 7.690(4) Å; space group: P6₃ mc). The ammonium cation lies in special position of m site symmetry. The following anion geometrical parameters of the fac-trichloridotrioxidorhenate(VII) anion have been obtained: Re–O bond length of 1.720(2) Å, Re–Cl bond length of 2.5428(9) Å, the bond angles: O–Re–O of 103.5(1)° and Cl–Re–Cl of 79.8(1)°.     

Crystal structure of (2<Emphasis Type="Italic">Z</Emphasis>)-(3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin- 1(2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ylidene)nitrosoacetonitrile

The crystal structure of (2Z)-(3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2Н)-ylidene)nitrosoacetonitrile is determined (T = 150 K, R1 = 0.0435). The compound crystallizes as the E-cis and Z-cis isomers of the nitroso tautomer. Two independent molecules differ in the rotation of the nitroso group about the С–С bond between the dihydroisoquinoline group and the substituent. Analysis of bond lengths reveals their conjugation and prevailing contribution of the zwitter-ionic structures with the positive charge located on the isoquinoline fragment and the negative charge located on the substituent. Molecules having E and Z conformations are connected by the N–H···O hydrogen bond (N···O 2.922(3) Å) into dimers. The N–H group of the other molecule forms the intramolecular N–H···O hydrogen bond (N···O 2.544(3) Å) which closes a sixmembered cycle. Electronic absorption spectra are studied, and quantum-chemical modeling of the compound is performed.

Electron diffraction study of 1<Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis> illites with interstratified <Emphasis Type="Italic">trans</Emphasis>- and <Emphasis Type="Italic">cis</Emphasis>-vacant 2 : 1 layers

Illites from the volcanogenic Zn-Au-Ag sulfide deposit Galkinskoe (Northern Urals) have been investigated using oblique-texture electron diffraction patterns in combination with the simulation of diffraction effects. Along with single-phase tv/cv1M illites, the structures of which are formed by statistically interstratified dioctahedral 2: 1 layers with vacant trans- or cis-octahedra, illites in the form of a mixture of two interstratified tv/cv1M phases, with the dominance of tv- or cv layers, are identified. It is shown that in the latter case the diffraction pattern can also be interpreted within the single-phase tv/cv model, provided that the tv- and cv layers are distributed with some tendency to segregate. The structural features indicating the preference of the two-phase model are analyzed.
