Structural Chemistry - A reversible phase transition in 2-methyl-5-nitroanilinium dihydrogen phosphate, (H2m5na)H2PO4, has been found and characterized. Lattice parameters of (H2m5na)H2PO4 change...     

High Spin Particles with Spin-Mass Coupling

The classical and quantum model of high spin particles is analyzed within the manifestly covariant framework. The model is obtained by supplementing the standard Lagrange function for relativistic point particle by additional terms governing the dynamics of internal degrees of freedom. They are described by (3, 1) Clifford algebra (Majorana) spinors. The covariant quantization leads to the spectrum of the particles with the masses depending on their spins. The particles (and anti-particles) appear to be orphaned as their potential anti-particle partners are of different mass.     

Disordered La3Cu4.88Se7

The crystal structure of copper(I) lanthanum selenide, La₃Cu_4.88Se₇, obtained from the La₂Se₃–Cu₂Se quasi‐binary system, has been investigated using X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction. The positions of the La and Se atoms are ordered and lie on mirror planes, whereas all positions for the Cu atoms are partially occupied. The crystal is built from edge‐sharing [LaSe₆] and [LaSe₇] polyhedra. The five positions for the Cu atoms determine an ionic diffusion pathway in the structure.     

Monoclinic Cu2Se3Sn

A previously unknown modification of dicopper(I) triselenostannate(IV), Cu₂Se₃Sn, has been obtained from the Cu₂Se–SnSe₂ quasi‐binary system and investigated using X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction. The Se atoms are stacked in a closest‐packed arrangement with the layers in the sequence ABC. The Cu atoms occupy one‐third of the tetrahedral interstices, whereas the Sn atoms are located in one‐sixth of the tetrahedral interstices. All the atoms occupy general positions. The structure possesses pseudo‐inversion symmetry. The Cu₂Se₃Sn structure investigated in this paper (96 atoms per unit cell, ordered distribution of Cu and Sn over 12 cation positions) is a superstructure of the reported cubic (eight atoms per unit cell, random distribution of Cu and Sn over one cation position) and monoclinic (24 atoms per unit cell, ordered distribution of Cu and Sn over three cation positions) modifications.     

Interaction of hydantoins with transition metal ions: synthesis,structural, spectroscopic,thermal and magnetic properties of [M(H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O)<Subscript>4</Subscript>(phenytoinate)<Subscript>2</Subscript>] M = Ni(II), Co(II)

Complexes of Ni(II) and Co(II) of the formulae [Ni(H₂O)₄(pht)₂] (1) and [Co(H₂O)₄(pht)₂]·1,5NH₃·H₂O (2) (where pht = phenotoinate anion) were obtained and characterized physicochemically. [Ni(H₂O)₄(pht)₂] (1) crystallizes in a monoclinic space group P2₁/c; a = 11.7358(8), b = 11,1250(8), 11.4182(7) Å; β = 97.076(5)°; V = 1479.41 Å³; Z = 2. The environment around the nickel and cobalt ions can be described as a distorted octahedron. The metal ion was found to bind to four water molecules and two nitrogen atoms derived from two anions of the monodentate phenytoinate. Four intramolecular hydrogen bonds designated as S(6) graph set are found in one [Ni(H₂O)₄(pht)₂] (1) molecule. Two chain HB patterns, constructed by the [Ni(H₂O)₄(pht)₂] molecules extending along the c and b axes, respectively, have been observed. The cobalt complex precipitates with the additional solvent molecules: one and a half of ammonia and one water. The results document the preferential binding of hydantoins to the metal ions through N(3) atom.     

Polymeric Zn(II) and Cu(II) complexes with exobidentate bridging l-tyrosine: Synthesis,structural and spectroscopic properties

A novel zinc(II) polymeric complex of the formula {[Zn(tyr)₂(H₂O)]H₂O}_n (1) containing l-tyrosine (tyr) was prepared in the crystalline form and characterized by X-ray diffraction, NIR–Vis–UV electronic and IR–FIR vibrational spectroscopy methods. Additionally, for the [Cu(tyr)₂]_n (2) polymer, the vibrational, electronic, EPR spectroscopic and magnetic properties were studied. l-tyrosine in coordination polymers acts as a N,O-bidendate ligand and presents exobidentate bridging with a μ-carboxyl group. The μ-carboxyl exobidentate bridging coordination mode leads to a one-dimensional chain structure. The ZnN₂O₃O′ chromophore has an elongated pseudo-octahedral geometry (1), whereas the CuN₂O₂O′ (2) chromophore presents a distorted square-pyramidal environment with τ = 0.19 around the Cu²⁺ ion.     

The Cauchy Harish-Chandra Integral, for the pair \mathfrak{u}_{p,q} ,\mathfrak{u}_1

For the dual pair considered, the Cauchy Harish-Chandra Integral, as a distribution on the Lie algebra, is the limit of the holomorphic extension of the reciprocal of the determinant. We compute that limit explicitly in terms of the Harish-Chandra orbital integrals.      

2,3‐Dihydro‐3‐methyl‐2‐nitrimino‐1,3‐thiazole

The title compound {alternatively, 3‐methyl‐2‐[oxido(oxo)hydrazono]‐2,3‐dihydro‐1,3‐thiazole}, C₄H₅N₃O₂S, was obtained by methyl­ation of N‐(2‐thia­zolyl)­nitr­amine. The molecule lies on a mirror plane and the thia­zole ring is planar, regular in shape and aromatic. The S atom participates in the aromatic sextet via an electron pair on the 3p_z orbital. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are arranged in parallel layers, bound to each other by weak C—H?O and C—H?N hydrogen bonds and by S?O dipolar interactions, with an interlayer separation of 3.23 Å.
