On the crystal chemistry of three copper(II)-arsenates: Cu3(AsO4)2-III,Na4Cu(AsO4)2, and KCu4(AsO4)3

The three copper(II)-arsenates were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions; their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods:Cu₃(AsO₄)₂-III:a=5.046(2) Å,b=5.417(2) Å,c=6.354(2) Å, =70.61(2)°, =86.52(2)°, =68.43(2)°,Z=1, space group ,R=0.035 for 1674 reflections with sin / 0.90 Å^–1.Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₂:a=4.882(2) Å,b=5.870(2) Å,c=6.958(3) Å, =98.51(2)°, =90.76(2)°, =105.97(2)°,Z=1, space group ,R=0.028 for 2157 reflections with sin / 0.90 Å^–1.KCu₄(AsO₄)₃:a=12.234(5) Å,b=12.438(5) Å,c=7.307(3) Å, =118.17(2)°,Z=4, space group C2/c,R=0.029 for 1896 reflections with sin / 0.80 Å^–1.Within these three compounds the Cu atoms are square planar [4], tetragonal pyramidal [4+1], and tetragonal bipyramidal [4+2] coordinated by O atoms; an exception is the Cu(2)^[4+1] atom in Cu₃(AsO₄)₂-III: the coordination polyhedron is a representative for the transition from a tetragonal pyramid towards a trigonal bipyramid. In KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ the Cu(1)^[4]O₄ square and the As(1)O₄ tetrahedron share a common O—O edge of 2.428(5) Å, resulting in distortions of both the CuO₄ square and the AsO₄ tetrahedron. The two Na atoms in Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₂ are [6] coordinated, the K atom in KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ is [8] coordinated by O atoms.Die drei Kupfer(II)-Arsenate wurden unter Hydrothermalbedingungen gezüchtet und ihre Kristallstrukturen mittels Einkristall-Röntgenbeugungsmethoden ermittelt:Cu₃(AsO₄)₂-III:a = 5.046(2) Å,b = 5.417(2) Å,c = 6.354(2) Å, = 70.61 (2)°, = 86.52(2)°, = 68.43(2)°,Z = 1, Raumgruppe ,R = 0.035 für 1674 Reflexe mit sin / 0.90 Å^–1.Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₂:a = 4.882(2) Å,b = 5.870(2) Å,c = 6.958(3) Å, = 98.51(2)°, = 90.76(2)°, = 105.97(2)°,Z = 1, Raumgruppe ,R = 0.028 für 2157 Reflexe mit sin / 0.90 Å^–1.KCu₄(AsO₄)₃:a = 12.234(5) Å,b = 12.438(5) Å,c = 7.307(3) Å, = 118.17(2)°,Z = 4, Raumgruppe C2/c,R = 0.029 für 1896 Reflexe mit sin / 0.80 Å^–1.Die Cu-Atome in diesen drei Verbindungen sind durch O-Atome quadratisch planar [4], tetragonal pyramidal [4 + 1] und tetragonal dipyramidal [4 + 2]-koordiniert; eine Ausnahme ist das Cu(2)^{[4 + 1]}-Atom in Cu₃(AsO₄)₂-III: Das Koordinationspolyeder stellt einen Vertreter des Übergangs von einer tetragonalen Pyramide zu einer trigonalen Dipyramide dar. In KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ haben das Cu(1)^[4]O₄-Quadrat und das As(1)O₄-Tetraeder eine gemeinsame O—O-Kante von 2.428(5) Å, was eine Verzerrung der beiden Koordinationsfiguren CuO₄-Quadrat und AsO₄-Tetraeder bedingt. Die zwei Na-Atome in Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₃ sind durch O-Atome [6]-koordiniert, das K-Atom in KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ ist [8]-koordiniert.

The crystal structure of two isolated complexes,(1) and(2), have been determined by single-crystal x-ray diffraction methods. Crystals of(1) are monoclinic, space groupP2₁ /c, witha=9.884(4),b=9.892(4),c=18.732(8) Å, =114.89(2)°,Z=2;R=0.068 for 1909 observed reflections.

In the complex (1) the copper co-ordination is tetragonal (compressed octahedral) and involves a nitrogen atom of the organic ligand [Cu-N 1.970(6) Å] and two oxygen atoms of the nitrate group [Cu-O 2.318(7) and 2.246(9) Å] which appears to coordinate nearly symmetrically to the metal; however it has unusually large thermal motion which suggests a fluxional behaviour. In the complex (2) the co-ordination is square planar and involves an imidazole nitrogen [Cu-N 1.95(3) Å] and a chlorine atom [Cu-Cl 2.27(1) Å]. A long interaction Cu-S=3.37(2) Å completes the co-ordination polyhedron to a very elongated distorted tetragonal bipyramid. In both compounds a thiophene ring is disordered.

Röntgenuntersuchungen zur Kristallstruktur von Polybutylenterephthalat (PBT)

Zusammenfassung Polybutylenterephthalat (PBT) gewinnt als Spritzgußmaterial und als Faserrohstoff zunehmend an Bedeutung. Die thermischen und mechanischen Eigenschaften des PBT sind von denen des Polyäthylenterephthalates (PET) erheblich abweichend. Die vorliegende Arbeit soll einen Beitrag liefern, die abweichenden Ergebnisse deuten zu können.Deswegen wurden die Gitterzelle und die Kettenanordnung im Kristallverband des PBT untersucht. Aus Röntgenmessungen ergaben sich die folgenden Gitterzellenparameter:a=4,83 Å,b=6,05 Å,c=11,45 Å,=100,5°,=117°,=110,8°.Damit ergibt sich eine Kristalldichte von=1,433 g/cm³ im Vergleich zu=1,515 g/cm³ beim PET.Mit der Annahme einer abgewinkelten Kettenkonformation kann in befriedigender Weise die verkürzte Faseridentitätsperiode und die gegenüber dem PET verlängerte Zellenkante a des PBT erklärt werden.

Summary Polybutylenterephthalate (PBT) is a new molding and fibre spinning material for industrial applications. The thermal and mechanical properties of PBT are quite different from those of polyethyleneterephthalate (PET).The unit cell of PBT was found by X-ray diffraction studies to be triclinic, similar to that of PET, but having the parameters:a=4.83 A,b=6.05 Å,c=11.45 Å,a=100.5°=117°,=110.8°. This gives a crystalline density of=1,433 g/cm³ compared with=1.515 g/cm³ for PET.Since a completely extended PBT chain would theoretical have a repeat length of 13.25 Å the above unit cell requires a kinked chain conformation. The increaseda axis dimension, in comparison to PET would be in agreement with this conclusion.

Gold(I) Pyrazolate Clusters: The Structure and Luminescence of the Tetranuclear, Base-Stabilized [(dppm)2Au4(3,5-Ph2Pz)2](NO3)2 ⋅ H2O

The tetranuclear Au(I) pyrazolate complex, [(dppm)₂Au₄(3,5-Ph₂Pz)₂](NO₃)₂  H₂O, 1, has been synthesized and structurally characterized. It is the first tetranuclear pyrazolate of Au(I) to have been found, although the trinuclear pyrazolates of Au(I) are well known. Complex 1 exhibits luminescence at 77 K when excited at 333 nm with an emission maximum at 454 nm. The emission has been assigned to ligand to metal charge transfer, LMCT, based upon the vibronic structure that is observed. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c, with a=19.33(3) Å, b=20.26(3) Å, c=19.80(3) Å, =106.74(2)°, V=7425(17) ų, Z=8, and R=0.058. The Au    Au distances are Au(1)    Au(4)=3.185(3) Å, Au(1)    Au(2)=3.230(3) Å, Au(2)    Au(3)=3.079(3) Å, and Au(3)    Au(4)=3.280(3) Å.

A crystal structure analysis of the colourless AgSO₃NH₂ was carried out at room temperature:M=203.95, orthorhombic, Pcab,a=7.809 (2) Å,b=8.067 (2) Å,c=11.682 (3) Å,V=735.9 ų,Z=8,d _x=3.681 Mgm^–3,F(000)=760, Mo K, =0.71069 Å (graphite monochromator), =5.77 mm^–1,R=4.36% (509 reflections, 56 parameters). The ionic structure shows approximate trigonal bipyramidal coordination around the Ag⁺-ions.
