Optimal calculation of the pair correlation function for an orthorhombic system
2012
We present a new computational method to calculate arbitrary pair correlation functions of an orthorombic system in the most efficient way. The algorithm is demonstrated by the calculation of the radial distribution function of shock compressed liquid hydrogen.
Comparison of epimeric methyl lithocholate and methyl iso-lithocholate molecules: single crystal X-ray structure of methyl lithocholate, ab initio HF…
2003
Abstract 13 C NMR chemical shifts have been measured and assigned for epimeric methyl 3α/β-hydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oates (methyl lithocholate [3α-OH epimer] and methyl iso-lithocholate [3β-OH epimer]). Their molecular dynamics simulations suggest that for both epimers there exists two predominant gas phase conformations, which have been further forwarded for ab initio/HF optimizations and DFT/GIAO based 13 C NMR chemical shift calculations. Excellent linear relationships have been observed between experimental and calculated 13 C NMR chemical shifts for both epimers. For methyl lithocholate (MeLC), the other minimum energy conformation equates very well with the single crystal X-ray structure …
Synthesis, characterisation, crystal structures, and magnetic properties of one-dimensional oxalato-bridged metal(II) complexes with 3-hydroxypyridin…
2001
One-dimensional oxalato-bridged metal(II) compounds of formula [M(-ox)(L)2]n [L = 3-hydroxypyridine (pyOH) or isoquinoline (isq)] have been synthesised and characterised by FT-IR spectroscopy, TG-DTA techniques, variable-temperature magnetic measurements and X-ray diffraction methods. The complexes [M(-ox)(pyOH)2]n [M= Co (1), Ni (2)] are isomorphous and crystallise in the orthorhombic space group Pnab. The compounds [M(-ox)(isq)2]n [M= Co (3), Ni (4), Cu (5)] are also isomorphous and belong to the monoclinic space group C2/c. Crystal structures consist of zig-zag chains in which cis-[M(L)2] 2 + units are sequentially bridged by bis-bidentate oxalato ligands with intrachain M···M distances …
Coordination behavior of sulfathiazole. Crystal structure of [Cu (sulfathiazole) (py)3Cl] superoxide dismutase activity
1995
Abstract The preparation, spectroscopic, magnetic properties, and crystal structure of [Cu(stzxpy) 3 Cl] (stz − stands for the deprotonated form of sulfathiazole, 4-amino-N-2-thiazolylbencenosulfonamide) are reported. Crystals are orthorhombic, space group Pbca, with cell constants a = 15.834(2), b = 17.512(4), and c = 18.79(2) A, and Z = 8. The structure was solved and refined to R = 0.041 (R W = 0.040). The structure consists of mononuclear units linked via hydrogen bonds to form the tridimensional pyramid. The geometry of CuN3N*NCl chromophore is distorted square-pyramid. The superoxide-dismutase mimetic activity of the compound is measured and compared with those of the SOD enzyme, the …
Selective oxidation of ethane: Developing an orthorhombic phase in Mo–V–X (X=Nb, Sb, Te) mixed oxides
2009
Abstract Mo–V–X (X = Nb, Sb and/or Te) mixed oxides have been prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and heat-treated in N2 at 450 °C or 600 °C for 2 h. The calcination temperature and the presence or absence of Nb determines the nature of crystalline phases in the catalyst. Nb-containing catalysts heat-treated at 450 °C are mostly amorphous solids, while Nb-free catalysts heat-treated at 450 °C and samples treated at 600 °C clearly contain crystalline phases. TPR-H2 experiments show higher H2-consumption on catalysts with amorphous phases. Catalytic results in the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane indicate that the selective production of the olefin is strongly related to the development of …
Synthesis, structure and conductivity of Ag2ZnSiO4, Ag2ZnGeO4 and Ag2BeSiO4
1995
Abstract The compounds Ag2MM′O4 with MM′ = ZnSi, ZnGe and BeSi have been synthesised by reacting the corresponding Na compounds with molten AgNO3. The crystal structures of Ag2ZnSiO4 and Ag2ZnGeO4 have been refined from Cu K α1 powder diffractometer data by the Rietveld technique to RF = 3.3 and 7.1%, respectively. They are isostructural with monoclinic Na2ZnSiO4. The powder pattern of Ag2BeSiO4 indicates that it is isostructural with orthorhombic Na2BeSiO4. The conductivity of the compounds has been determined using ac impedance measurements. Ag2ZnSiO4 and Ag2BeSiO4 are ionic conductors, with conductivities that are very similar to those of their corresponding isostructural Na compounds. A…
Syntheses and crystal structures of three novel Cu(II) coordination polymers of different dimensionality constructed from Cu(II) carboxylates (carbox…
2004
Abstract We herein report three new coordination polymers generated from Cu(II) carboxylates (mal, 2ac, fum) and conformationally flexible bifunctional IX as building blocks. All the three complexes adopt unique structures in the solid state. The complex [Cu2(mal)2(IX)2(H2O)6]n crystallizes as orthorhombic co-linear rods with space group P2(1) P2(1) P2(1). Each rod is further formed of two tightly intertwined strings. The second polymer [Cu2(ac)4(IX)2]n crystallizes with space group P1 which consists of two sets of intersecting 2D sheets composed of parallel rods which interpenetrate to form a fully interlocked 3D structure. In both these complexes IX coordinates in the anti mode. The third…
Atomic structure solution of the complex quasicrystal approximant Al77Rh15Ru8 from electron diffraction data
2014
The crystal structure of the novel Al77Rh15Ru8phase (which is an approximant of decagonal quasicrystals) was determined using modern direct methods (MDM) applied to automated electron diffraction tomography (ADT) data. The Al77Rh15Ru8E-phase is orthorhombic [Pbma,a= 23.40 (5),b= 16.20 (4) andc= 20.00 (5) Å] and has one of the most complicated intermetallic structures solved solely by electron diffraction methods. Its structural model consists of 78 unique atomic positions in the unit cell (19 Rh/Ru and 59 Al). Precession electron diffraction (PED) patterns and high-resolution electron microscopy (HRTEM) images were used for the validation of the proposed atomic model. The structure of the E…
Crystal and molecular structure of anhydrous betaine, (CH3)3NCH2CO2
1999
Abstract 1–Carboxy–N,N,N–trimethylmethanamanium inner salt or anhydrous betaine, (CH3)3NCH2CO2, FW=117.15 gmol −1 , crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with a=14.544(2) A , b=6.859(3) A , c=6.131(1) A , V=611.7(3) A 3 , Z=4, D x =1.27 Mgm −3 , λ (MoK α )=0.71073 A , μ =0.091 mm −1 . The structure was resolved by direct methods and refined by least-square calculations to R=0.038 for 531 reflections. Observed changes in bond angles imply that there is a repulsion between nitrogen and oxygen. The melting point (measured at onset) is 570 K. FTIR spectra of anhydrous betaine and monohydrate were recorded. Clear differences were found between the two compounds based on infrared (i.r…
