Novel first-row transition-metal phosphates: hydrothermal synthesis and crystal structures
Two new compounds, sodium copper nickel diorthophosphate, Na2CuNi(PO4)2 (I), and dimanganese copper diorthophosphate, Mn2Cu(PO4)2 (II), were synthesized hydrothermally, yielding single crystals, and were studied by X-ray diffraction. In the crystal structures, various transition metals of d-elements occupy symmetrically independent crystallographic positions with different coordination geometries. In the crystal structure of Na2NiCu(PO4)2, NiO6 and CuO6 octahedra share edges to form chains that PO4 groups link into a framework with cavities filled with Na atoms. Layered cationic fragments formed from dimers of MnO5 trigona...

Investigating pair distribution function use in analysis of nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite and carbonate-substituted hydroxyapatite
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a complex material, which is often nanocrystalline when found within a biological setting. This work has directly compared the structural characteristics derived from data collected using a conventional laboratory-based X-ray diffractometer with those collected from a dedicated pair distribution function (PDF) beamline at Diamond Light Source. In particular, the application of PDF analysis methods to carbonated HA is evaluated. 20 synthetic samples were measured using both X-ray diffraction (XRD) and PDFs. Both Rietveld refinement (of laboratory XRD data) and real-space refinement (of PDF data) were ...

Crystal structures of three β -halolactic acids: hydrogen bonding resulting in differing Z ′
The crystal structures of three β -halolactic acids have been determined, namely, β -chlorolactic acid (systematic name: 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropanoic acid, C3H5ClO3) (I), β -bromolactic acid (systematic name: 3-bromo-2-hydroxypropanoic acid, C3H5BrO3) (II), and β -iodolactic acid (systematic name: 2-hydroxy-3-iodopropanoic acid, C3H5IO3) (III). The number of molecules in the asymmetric unit of each crystal structure (Z ′ ) was found to be two for I and II, and one for III, making I and II isostructural and III unique. The difference between the molecules in the asymmetric units of I and II is due to the direction of t...

An X-ray investigation of stereoselectivity in the interactions of [Co(en)3]3+ with [Co(ox)3]3 − (en is ethane-1,2-diamine and ox is oxalate)
The X-ray structure of racemic tris(ethane-1,2-diamine- κ 2N,N ′ )cobalt(III) tris(oxalato- κ 2O1,O2)cobaltate(III) pentahydrate, [Co(C2H8N2)3][Co(C2O4)3] · 5H2O or [Co(en)3][Co(ox)3] · 5H2O, has been determined. Hydrogen-bonding interactions along the C3-axis of the [Co(en)3]3+ cation with the [Co(ox)3]3 − anion are heterochiral, while those perpendicular to this axis are homochiral. Implications for the interpretation of chiral discriminations and induction in electron-transfer reactions in solution are discussed. (Source: Acta Crystallographica Section C)
