Crystallography characterized

Single-crystal surfaces are characterized by a set of Miller indices that indicate tlie particular crystallographic orientation of the surface plane relative to the bulk lattice [5]. Thus, surfaces are labelled in the same way that atomic planes are labelled in bulk x-ray crystallography. For example, a Ni (111) surface has a surface plane... 

CH2CN)4Yb[( J.-H)2BH]2, and (CgH N)4Yb[( J.-H)2BH4]2 have been stmcturally characterized by x-ray crystallography and shown to contain ytterbium to boron hydride Yb—H—B linkages. Thermal decomposition of lanthanaboranes can be used to generate lanthanide metal borides. 

These operations are performed faster than it takes to describe them, and are usually sufficient to characterize a material. The specific steps to perform each of the above may be found in any textbook on optical crystallography. 

During the past 20 y numerous other highly coloured halogen cations have been characterized by Raman spectroscopy. X-ray crystallography, and other techniques, as summarized in Table 17.18. Typical preparative routes involve direct oxidation of the halogen (a) in the absence of solvent, (b) in a solvent which is itself the oxidant (e.g. AsFs) or (c) in a non-reactive solvent (e.g. SO2). Some examples are listed below ... 

An interesting example of desmotropy (cf. Chapter 1, Section V,D,2) has been reported for dihydropurines 2a and 2b both tautomers have been fully characterized by and NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography [94JCS(P2)1949]. 

Although great progress has been made in study of the mode of action of the azinomycins, a full understanding of their interaction with DNA will require future structural characterization of azinomycin-DNA crosslinks by NMR or X-ray crystallography.

The phenyl ether oxygen atoms allow the two borazaphenanthrene rings to pivot with respect to each other, therefore this dimeric boronic acid anhydride can potentially exist in two isomeric forms, either face-to-face or helical (Fig. 18). In the face-to-face form the boron atoms of the bis(borazaphe-nanthrene) moieties have syn-orientation, while they have approximate anti-orientation in the helical form. Compound 68 has been characterized by X-ray crystallography in the helical form [109]. The dimensions of the cavity can be described by the transannular C C contacts between the carbon atoms in 2-position of the phenyl ether units, which have values of 5.12 and 6.21 A. 

The concentration of this species in liquid sulfur was estimated from the calculated Gibbs energy of formation as ca. 1% of all Ss species at the boihng point [35]. In this context it is interesting to note that the structurally related homocyclic sulfur oxide Sy=0 is known as a pure compound and has been characterized by X-ray crystallography and vibrational spectroscopy [48, 49]. Similarly, branched long chains of the type -S-S-S(=S)-S-S- must be components of the polymeric S o present in liquid sulfur at higher temperatures since the model compound H-S-S-S(=S)-S-S-H was calculated to be by only 53 kJ mol less stable at the G3X(MP2) level than the unbranched helical isomer of HySs [35]. 

The reduced alkyl complexes are reoxidized by O2 to the iron(lll) alkyls. The corresponding diamagnetic phthalocyanine iron(ll) alkyl complexes, rFe(Pc)R), were prepared by two-electron reduction of Fe(Pc) by LiAIFl4 to give [Fe(Pc) (actually the Fe(I) phthalocyanine radical anion) followed by reaction with Mel, Etl or i-PrBr. The methyl compound, [Fe(Pc)CHi] was characterized by X-ray crystallography. ...
