Study of inclusions and causes of their formation during growth of barium metaborate crystals

The complex study of barium metaborate crystals has been undertaken with the aim to determine the conditions of their growth with the minimum density of inclusions. It is shown that almost all the inclusions are multiphase formations of the melt type, and, in addition to the mixture of the main components of the quasieutectic composition, they can also be enriched with gas-forming impurities not removed during barium metaborate synthesis. It is shown that the amount and the composition of melt-like inclusions in crystals depends on the removal of by-products of the reactions used for barium metaborate synthesis from the system, the patterns of the convective flows in the flux, the character of its flow under the interface, the axial temperature gradient in the solution, and the temperature fluctuations at the crystallization front.     

Structure and thermal properties of [Ir(NH3)5Cl]x[Rh(NH3)5Cl]1?xMO4 (x = 0.5, 1; M = Mo, W)

Complex salts [Ir(NH₃)₅Cl]x[Rh(NH₃)₅Cl]_1−x MO₄ (x = 0.5, 1; M = Mo, W) are synthesized and their thermal properties are studied. The crystal structures are determined for [Ir(NH₃)₅Cl]WO₄ and [Ir(NH₃)₅Cl]MoO₄. In the structures, the ions are linked by N-H...O hydrogen bonds, the shortest ones being 2.868(2)–3.422(2) ?. and 2.860(4)–3.434(3) ?. respectively. The thermal properties of the complex salts are studied in the hydrogen atmosphere and in hydrogen-helium mixtures. It is demonstrated that the final products are the mixtures of nanocrystalline powders of Ir and binary or ternary solid solutions with the hcp lattice.     

Crystal structures of [MEn2][Pt(NO2)4] (M = Cu,Pd)

By single crystal X-ray diffraction the structures of [CuEn₂][Pt(NO₂)₄] and [PdEn₂][Pt(NO₂)₄] are determined. In the structures, the main structural moieties are identified. It is shown that the structure of [PdEn₂][Pt(NO₂)₄] can be considered as quasi-one-dimensional: in the _Y axis direction, the stacks of alternating complex cations and anions locate.     

New data on the structure of α-<Emphasis Type="Italic">trans</Emphasis>-[Pd(NH<Subscript>3</Subscript>)<Subscript>2</Subscript>Cl<Subscript>2</Subscript>]

Single crystal X-ray diffraction was applied for re-determination of the crystal structure of α-trans-[Pd(NH₃)₂Cl₂]. It has been demonstrated that, in contrast to the literature data, the structure is disordered. This model does not require excess over-stoichiometric palladium. Two crystals obtained in the same experiment illustrate possible variations in the packing of the molecules of the complex.     

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.     

Crystal structure refinement for trans-[Pd(NO3)2(H2O)2]

Single crystals of trans-[Pd(NO₃)₂(H₂O)₂] were obtained, and the crystal structure of this complex, previously obtained for polycrystals, was refined. Crystal data (BRUKER X8APEX diffractometer): a = 4.9973(7) Å, b = 10.5982(14) Å, c = 11.7008(17) Å, V = 619.70(15) ų, space group Pbca, Z = 4, d _calc = 2.856 g/cm³. The structure is composed of neutral complexes with a trans configuration. The square plane environment of the Pd atom is formed by four oxygen atoms (Pd-O(NO₃) 1.999(5) Å, Pd-O(H₂O) 2.030(5) Å) and completed to a distorted bipyramid by two intramolecular contacts (Pd…O(NO₃) 2.926 Å). The shortest hydrogen bonds are O…H 2.72 Å.

Configurations of the [Pd(NO2)4]2- Complex Anion: Crystal Structure of Ag4A2[M(NO2)4]3 (M = Pd, Pt; A = K, Rb)

An integrated Xray diffraction study was performed on polycrystals and single crystals of three new isostructural phases with general formula Ag₄A₂[M(NO₂)₄]₃ (M = Pd, Pt; A = K, Rb). Data on the crystal structure solution (CAD4 diffractometer, MoK radiation, graphite monochromator = 2–30° are presented. In one crystallographically independent [M(NO₂)₄]^2- complex anion, the planar square coordination of the central atom is completed to 4 + 2 by two oxygen atoms at a distance of 3.02–3.12 in the other anion, it is completed to 4 + 1 + 1 by an oxygen atom at a distance of 3.12–3.30 and an Ag⁺ cation at a distance of 3.04–3.11 . Part of the Ag⁺ cations form Ag - Ag dimers with a distance of 3.03–3.07. Crystalchemical analysis of known structures containing [Pd(NO₂)₄]^2- complex anions was performed. It has been established that in none of the cases do any of the possible limiting configurations occur.
