Growth, structure, and properties of KTiOPO4 crystals doped with iron

A series of iron-doped KTiOPO₄ (KTP: Fe) single crystals in which iron substitutes for 0.1–0.3% titanium was grown. The structure of the KTP: Fe crystals was determined, and their dielectric and conducting properties were studied. An X-ray diffraction analysis failed to reveal such asmall amount of Fe⁺³ ions in titanium octahedral positions of the structure. It was found that an increase in the iron concentration results in a lowering of the symmetry of Ti(1)O₆ and Ti(2)O₆ octahedra. The splitting of the dielectric anomaly due to the ferroelectric phase transition was explained by the mechanism of incorporation of an impurity into different growth pyramids of the crystals. It was established that the aging of the KTP: Fe crystals leads to changes in the permittivity and electrical conductivity during long storage.

Simple crystal forms as the orbits of crystallographic symmetry groups

Simple crystal forms are analyzed as the orbits of point symmetry groups on a set of crystal planes of space. All known polyhedra are described and structurized based on the theory of the orbits of groups, which provided a new, more harmonious approach to this problem. The orbits of groups can be general or particular and characteristic or non-characteristic. All possible versions of all crystallographic groups are listed in the table. The problem of the equivalence of polyhedra as the orbits of point symmetry groups is considered. An analysis of this problem has shown that 32 point crystallographic symmetry groups correspond to 139 symmetrically nonequivalent polyhedra.

Some reactions of dimethyl tin bis-S,S′ -(O-sodium thiosulfate) and the structure of its complex with dibenzo-18-crown-6

The reactions of the title compound, Me₂Sn(S-SO₃Na · H₂O)₂, with alkyliodides and trimethyltin chloride in an aqueous medium, as well as with dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB-18-C-6) in acetone have been studied. The iodides RI (R = Me, Et) attack both of the tin—sulfur bonds to give dimethyltin diiodide and the respective disulfides, R₂S₂. Trimethyltin chloride enters an exchange reaction which involves sodium ions and affords Me₂Sn(S-SO₃SnMe₃)₂ as the reaction intermediate; the latter decomposes to ultimately give trimethyltin sulfate, dimethyltin thiosulfite, and elemental sulfur. An ionic complex, [Me₂Sn(S-SO₃)₂]₂ ^2–[Na(DB-18-C-6)(Me₂CO)]⁺[Na(DB-18-C-6)(Me₂CO)(H₂O)]⁺, soluble in acetone and methylene chloride has been also synthesized, and its structure has been determined by means of X-ray techniques.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Symmetrical polyhedra (simple crystal forms) as orbits of noncrystallographic point symmetry groups

Simple crystal forms are analyzed as the orbits of noncrystallographic point symmetry groups on a set of smooth or structured (“hatched”) planes of crystal space. Polyhedra with symmetrically equivalent faces, obtained using noncrystallographic point symmetry groups, are considered. All possible versions of simple forms for all noncrystallographic groups are listed in a unified table.
