Refined crystal structure of lovozerite Na2CaZr[Si6O12(OH,O)6] · H2O

The structure of Na,Ca,Zr-silicate lovozerite, Na₂CaZr[Si₆O₁₂(OH,O)₆] · H₂O, from the Khibiny alkaline massif (the Kola Peninsula) was refined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (Syntex $P\bar 1$ diffractometer, λMoK _α radiation, 2θ/θ scanning technique). The refinement (R _hkl = 0.077, 1531 independent reflections; anisotropic thermal parameters) confirmed the trigonal system proposed for the mineral earlier (sp. gr. R3; a = 10.18(1) Å, c = 13.13(2) Å, Z = 3) and revealed the presence of two additional positions (C and B) statistically occupied by Ca and Na atoms (and partly by Mn) and H₂O molecules, respectively.

New framework hydrous silicate K3Sc[Si3O9] · H2O related to the high-temperature anhydrous silicate K3Ho[Si3O9] and symmetry analysis of a phase transition with prediction of structures

Crystals of a new framework silicate K₃Sc[Si₃O₉] · H₂O, space group Pm2₁ n (nonstandard setting of space group Pmn2₁ = C _2v ⁷), are obtained under hydrothermal conditions. The structure is determined without preliminary knowledge of the chemical formula. The absolute configuration is determined. The structure is close to that of the high-temperature K₃Ho[Si₃O₉] phase, which was obtained upon the heating of K₃HoSi₃O₈(OH)₂. This structural similarity is due to the specific conditions of synthesis and an analogous formula, where holmium is replaced by scandium. A symmetry analysis shows that the high local symmetry of a block (rod) is responsible for the first-order phase transition of both the order-disorder (OD) and displacement type. The number of structures in which the simplest and high-symmetry layers are multiplied by different symmetry elements are predicted.

Synthesis and crystal structure of hexaaquamagnesium hydrogen phosphododecatungstate tetrahydrate [Mg(H2O)6][HPW12O40]·4H2O

Crystals suitable for X-ray structure analysis were obtained after the slow evaporation of the reaction mixture containing equimolar quantities of magnesium chloride and dodecatungstophosphoric acid aqueous solution insuring pH of the solution between 1.0 and 1.2. This simple synthetic route yielded stability of Keggin anion and high quality [Mg(H₂O)₆][HPW₁₂O₄₀]·4H₂O single crystals. The obtained compound belongs to the group of heteropoly compounds and its structure is composed of Keggin [PW₁₂O₄₀]^3– anions, [Mg(H₂O)₆]²⁺ cations and lattice water molecules. Zigzag arrangement of Keggin anions along c-axis creates irregular channels occupied by [Mg(H₂O)₆]²⁺ cations and lattice H₂O molecules. The calculation of the total potential solvent volume indicated the presence of 4.1 lattice H₂O lattice molecules per formula unit, which is in agreement with the here presented structural model. The position of one lattice water molecule is well defined, while each of three other molecules is statistically distributed over two locations. Hydrogen bonds involve all coordinated and lattice H₂O molecules, as well as some oxygen atoms from the Keggin anion. (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

K8Gd3Si12O32Cl · 2H2O,a new member of the family of porous silicates with K and RE elements

Crystals of K₈Gd₃Si₁₂O₃₂Cl · 2H₂O (space group $P\bar 1$ ), a new member of the family of porous silicates containing rare earths, are obtained under hydrothermal conditions. The structure retains the main features of the family in which original one-story layers of Si-tetrahedra formed by 6-membered rings of two types and large-in-diameter 8-membered and 12-membered rings are bound by Gd-octahedra to form a framework. Large pores in the interlayer space of the mixed framework are filled with K⁺ ions. The penetration of Cl^? ions from a concentrated mineralizing solution into the centers of the eight-membered rings of the layer corroborates the ion-exchanging properties of the crystals of this structural type. The filling of rings and pores of different types in different members of the family by K⁺ and Cl^? ions, hydroxyl groups, and water molecules is analyzed.     

Hydrothermal crystallization and X-ray structure determination of a new decavanadate with mixed cations [Mn(H2O)6]2[N(CH3)4]2[V10O28]·2H2O

A new decavanadate with mixed cations, [Mn(H₂O)₆]₂[N(CH₃)₄]₂[V₁₀O₂₈]·2H₂O (1), was crystallized from a hydrothermal reaction between MnCO₃ and V₂O₅ in the presence of N(CH₃)₄Br at 100°C.

The extended H-bonding between the [Mn(H₂O)₆]²⁺ and [V₁₀O₂₈]^6– ions gives rise to a pseudo- two-dimensional network in the crystal lattice x-ray crystallographic data for 1: monoclinic P2₁/n, a = 9.1499(5), b = 12.8725(7), c = 18.625(1) Å, = 92.252(1)°, V = 2192.0(2) ų, MZ = 2, and D _calcd = 2.22 g cm^–3.

The HAgu ⁺ cations and water molecules are involved in the O-H?O, N-H?O, and N-N?N hydrogen bonds and participate in numerous (N, O)-H?H-B specific interactions with the B₆H ₆ ^2? anions, which results in splitting and high-frequency shift of the band of B-H stretching vibrations in the IR spectrum.
