Synthesis and redetermination of the crystal structure of NbF5
Single crystals of NbF5, niobium(V) fluoride, have been obtained by the reaction of niobium metal in a stream of dilute elemental fluorine at 473   K and subsequent sublimation. The as-obtained bulk phase compound was shown to be pure by powder X-ray diffraction at 293   K and by IR and Raman spectroscopy. A single-crystal X-ray analysis was conducted at 100   K. In comparison to the previously reported structure model [Edwards (1964). J. Chem. Soc. pp. 3714 – 3718], the lattice parameters and fractional atom coordinates were determined to much higher precision and individual, anisotropic displacement parameters we...

Synthesis, structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 1,3-bis[(1-octyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl]-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one
The title molecule, C29H44N8O, adopts a conformation resembling a two-bladed fan with the octyl chains largely in fully extended conformations. In the crystal, C — H...O hydrogen bonds form chains of molecules extending along the b-axis direction, which are linked by weak C — H...N hydrogen bonds and C — H... π interactions to generate a three-dimensional network. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H...H (68.3%), H...N/N...H (15.7%) and H...C/C...H (10.4%) interactions.

Crystal structures of the isotypic complexes bis(morpholine)gold(I) chloride and bis(morpholine)gold(I) bromide
The compounds bis(morpholine- κ N)gold(I) chloride, [Au(C4H9NO)2]Cl, 1, and bis(morpholine- κ N)gold(I) bromide, [Au(C4H9NO)2]Br, 2, crystallize isotypically in space group C2/c with Z = 4. The gold atoms, which are axially positioned at the morpholine rings, lie on inversion centres (so that the N — Au — N coordination is exactly linear) and the halide anions on twofold axes. The residues are connected by a classical hydrogen bond N — H...halide and by a short gold...halide contact to form a layer structure parallel to the bc plane. The morpholine oxygen atom is not involved in classical hydrogen bonding. (Source:...

Crystal structure reinvestigation and spectroscopic analysis of tricadmium orthophosphate
Single crystals of tricadmium orthophosphate, Cd3(PO4)2, have been synthesized successfully by the hydrothermal route, while its powder form was obtained by a solid-solid process. The corresponding crystal structure was determined using X-ray diffraction data in the monoclinic space group P21/n. The crystal structure consists of Cd2O8 or Cd2O10 dimers linked together by PO4 tetrahedra through sharing vertices or edges. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the morphology and to confirm the chemical composition of the synthesized powder. Infrared analysis corroborates the presence of isolated phosphate ...
