Sparfloxacindium tetrabromidocuprate(II) monohydrate crystal structure

Structure solution has been carried out for a compound containing doubly charged sparfloxacindium cation, namely ((C₁₉H₂₄F₂N₄O₃)[CuBr₄] · H₂O (I), where C₁₉H₂₂F₂N₄O₃ is sparfloxacin.

This specific protonation feature of SfH is manifested in the specifics of supramolecular organization of I.

Crystal structure of sodium dichlorobis(acetylacetonato)rhodiate(iii) monohydrate Na[Rh(C5H7O2)2Cl2] · H2O. pseudoperiodicity as the consequence of the packing law of complexes in crystals

The crystal structure of Na[Rh(acac)₂Cl₂] · H₂O (acac) =C ₅H₇O ₂ ^? )is determined The crystals are triclinic, space group P1, with unit cell dimensions a =12.616(2), b =8.411(4), c =8.499(4) å,a =108.37(4), Β =95.47(4), γ =110.45(4)?, V =780.3(6) å ³, Z =2, d _calc =1.758 g/cm ³, R =0.0461. The strong pseudoperiodicity observed experimentally (no reflections with odd indices h) led to a set of experimental data obtained in the unit cell that is reduced along the a axis (“Syntex P2 ₁ ” automatic diffractometer, λMoK _α, graphite monochromator), 1466 measured and 1302 observed I_hkl included in the calculation. This is due to the alternation of the central atoms of octahedral complex onions at intervals of 1/2a. The Rh- 0 and Rh- Cl distances are, on the average, 2.001(3) and 2.325(2), respectively. The cis- angles of ClRhO type are close to 90?, and the average value of the ORhO chelate angle is 95.1? (within 3Σ with Σ ? 0.1?). The average interatomic distances and bond angles (according to types) in the acac ligand are as follows: O- C 1.274, (C- C)_ring 1.397, C_ring- C_sub 1.506 å with Σ not higher than 0.006 å,RhOC 122.2?, (OCC) _ring 126.4?, (OCC)_term 114.2?, (CCC)_ring 127.3?, (CC)_ringc_sub 119.3? (Σ within 0.2– 0.6?). The distorted octahedron around the Na ion consists of five O atoms (of the H₂O molecule and the neighboring acac ligands, distances within 2.364– 2.409 å) and one Cl ion lying at a distance of 2.970 å. The structure in general is of ribbon type: Rh_1,2 and Na octahedra are linked by a common edge O(2′)O(1) and common face O(3)O(4′)O(2′) into infinite ribbons, which are extended along the [100] axis and which are translationally identical in the [010] and [001] directions. The H ₂O molecule forms two Cl(l)...H₂O...Cl(2′) hydrogen bonds: 3.116 and 3.179 å, respectively, which link the Rh octahedra into infinite chains in the [120] direction.

Its layered structure (triclinic symmetry system, a = 6.9998(1) Å, b = 9.4180(1) Å, c = 13.1094(2) Å, α = 74.815(1)°, β = 78.188(1)°, γ = 82.779(1)°, Z = 2, space group P $\bar 1$ ) is built of Na⁺ cations and [Sb₁₀F₁₈O₆(NCS)₄]^4? decanuclear complex anions that consist of two [Sb₅F₉O₃(NCS)₂]^2? pentanuclear complex anions linked by two weak Sb-F ionic bonds (2.529(2) Å). Decanuclear complex anions are linked into layers by secondary Sb…F bonds and Na-F bonds. Van der Waals interactions link these layers into a framework. The complex is stable up to 200°C.     

Redetermination and Crystallographic Analysis of the Structure of Sb-Containing Laffittite AgHg(As,Sb)S<Subscript>3</Subscript> From Chauvai (Kyrgyzstan)

The crystal structure of laffittite mineral AgHg(As,Sb)S₃ from the Chauvai deposit (Kyrgyzstan), containing about 10% of Sb atoms in the As³⁺ position, is re-determined (Aa space group, a = 7.7560(3) Å, b = 11.3340(4) Å, c = 6.6650(3) Å, β = 115.233(4)°, V =529.99(4) ų, d = 6.078 g/cm³, Z = 4, R = 0.0229). Crystallographic analysis of the structure reveales the presence of quite regular face-centered cubic cation and anion sublattices, thus confirming the assignment of the structure to the structural type of PbS. A deviation from the octahedral coordination of cations characteristic of this type is mainly related to a mutual asymmetric displacement of the cation and anion matrices.
