Single crystals of the compound (NH₄)₃[UO₂(CH₃COO)₃]₂[UO₂(CH₃COO)(NCS)₂(H₂O)] (I) are synthesized, and their structure is investigated using X-ray diffraction. Compound I crystallizes in the monoclinic system with the unit cell parameters a = 18.3414(6) ?, b = 16.3858(7) ?, c = 12.4183(5) ?, β = 92.992(1)°, space group C2/c, Z = 4, V = 3727.1(3) ?³, and R = 0.0253. The uranium-containing structural units of crystals I are mononuclear complexes of two types with an island structure, i.e., the [UO₂(CH₃COO)₃]⁻ anionic complexes belonging to the crystal-chemical group (AB ₃⁰¹ = UO₂²⁺, B ⁰¹ = CH₃COO⁻) of the uranyl complexes and the [UO₂(CH₃COO)(NCS)₂(H₂O)]⁻ anionic complexes belonging to the crystal-chemical group AB ⁰¹M₃¹ (A = UO₂²⁺, B ⁰¹ = CH₃COO⁻, M ¹ = NCS⁻ or H₂O).     

A Novel 1:1 Co-Crystal of Bis(1,10-Phenanthroline)(1,10-Phenanthroline-5,6-Dione)Nickel(II) Hexafluorophosphate and Tris(1,10-Phenanthroline)Nickel(II) Hexafluorophosphate Complexes, [Ni(phen)2(phen-dione)] [Ni(phen)3] (PF6)4

Abstract  

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether co-crystals form by simply mixing pure solutions of [Ni(phen)₃](PF₆)₂ and [Ni(phen)₂(phen-dione)](PF₆)₂ where phen is 1,10-phenanthroline and phen-dione is 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione. The 1:1 cocrystal, [Ni(phen)₂(phen-dione)][Ni(phen)₃](PF₆)₄·CH₃CN has been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, paramagnetic NMR, and UV–vis spectroscopies, cyclic voltammetry, and single crystal X-ray structure analysis. The title complex crystallized in triclinic crystal system (z = 2) with space group of Pī, a = 13.201(2) ?, b = 14.782(3) ?, c = 22.294(4) ?, α = 81.575(15)^o, β = 88.756(15)^o, γ = 88.032(15)^o and V = 4300.1(14) ?³. A careful inspection of the packing pattern in the lattice reveals that non-covalent interactions of three different types, viz. C–H···F, C=O···H−C and C−H···π interactions, are active in the lattice. The coordination around the Ni(II) centers is a distorted octahedral, with bite angles of 78.3−79.8^o for the chelating phen and phen-dione ligands. Cyclic voltammetry of this co-crystal shows that the Ni(III/II) couple is quasi-reversible. The effective magnetic moment (μ_eff) of the co-crystal was measured to be 2.87 BM per Ni(II) ion by Evans method. The magnitude of μ_eff is consistent with magnetic moment for octahedral Ni(II) complexes.

Crystal structure of britvinite [Pb7(OH)3F(BO3)2(CO3)][Mg4.5(OH)3(Si5O14)]: A new layered silicate with an original type of silicon-oxygen networks

The crystal structure of a new mineral britvinite Pb_7.1Mg_4.5(Si_4.8Al_0.2O₁₄)(BO₃)(CO₃)[(BO₃)_0.7(SiO₄)_0.3](OH, F)_6.7 from the Lángban iron-manganese skarn deposit (V?rmland, Sweden) is determined at T = 173 K using X-ray diffraction (Stoe IPDS diffractometer, λMoKα, graphite monochromator, 2θ_max = 58.43°, R = 0.052 for 6262 reflections). The main crystal data are as follows: a = 9.3409(8) ?, b = 9.3579(7) ?, c = 18.8333(14) ?, α = 80.365(6)°, β = 75.816(6)°, γ = 59.870(5)°, V = 1378.7(2) ?³, space group P1, Z = 2, and ρ_calcd = 5.42 g/cm³. The idealized structural formula of the mineral is represented as [Pb₇(OH)₃F(BO₃)₂(CO₃)][Mg_4.5(OH)₃(Si₅O₁₄)]. It is demonstrated that the mineral britvinite is a new representative of the group of mica-like layered silicates with structures in which three-layer (2: 1) “sandwiches” composed of tetrahedra and octahedra alternate with blocks of other compositions, such as oxide, oxide-carbonate, oxide-carbonate-sulfate, and other blocks. The tetrahedral networks (Si₅O₁₄)_∞∞ consisting of twelve-membered rings are fragments of the britvinite structure. Similar networks also form crystal structures of the mineral zeophyllite and the synthetic phase Rb₆Si₁₀O₂₃. In the crystal structures under consideration, the tetrahedral networks differ in the rotation of tetrahedra with respect to the layer plane. Original Russian Text ? O.V. Yakubovich, W. Massa, N.V.
