Pattern, units

The unit of pattern ( unit cell ). A crystal consists of a large number of repetitions of a basic pattern of atoms. Just as in many textile... 

The only patterns of exactly repeated environments capable of indefinite extension are those in which successions of pattern-units lie on straight lines. Consider the shape of the unit of pattern, first of all in the simpler case of a plane pattern, such as that shown in Fig. 4. Mark any point such as A, and then mark other points whose surroundings are exactly the same (in orientation as well as geometrical character) as...

A crystal is not, in actual fact, a simple array of points, each of which is a pattern-unit. In the first place, an atom is not a point its electrons, which scatter the X-rays, are distributed over distances commensurable with the interatomic distances. Secondly, each pattern-unit in a crystal often consists, not of one atom, but a group of atoms. The pattern-unit is thus not a point, but has a diffuse and often irregular form. However, for the purpose of diffraction theory, as far as it is carried in this chapter, the diffuse pattern-unit may be mentally replaced by a point. It will be shown in Chapter VII that the form of the pattern-unit affects the intensities of the diffracted beams but it does not affect their positions, which depend only on the space-lattice, the fundamental arrangement of identical pattern-units. 

The classification of atomic arrangements into types, together with the consideration of the effect of the type of arrangement Oil the diffraction pattern, will be considered in two stages. First of all, unit cells are either simple, with only one pattern-unit in the cell, or compound, with two or more pattern-units in the cell (see Chapter II). Crystals with compound unit cells give patterns from which maiiy reflections are absent, and the recognition of a compound cell is a very simple matter. 

The type of arrangement of pattern-units is called the space-lattice . Secondly, the group of atoms forming a pattern-unit—the group of atoms associated with each lattice point—may have certain symmetries, and some of these symmetries cause further systematic absences of certain types of reflections from the diffraction pattern. The complex of symmetry elements displayed by the complete arrangement is known as the space-group. ... 

To explore the feasibility of such an approach for the design of active catalysts, we have systematically replaced the secondary structural elements in the homodimeric helical bundle chorismate mutase (Fig. 3.18) with binary-patterned units of random sequence. Genetic selection was then used to assess the catalytic capabilities of the proteins in the resulting libraries, providing quantitative information about the robustness of this particular protein scaffold and insight into the subtle interactions needed to form a functional active site [119]. 

The sample studied was a cobalt bis(phosphonate) of composition C02(O3PC6H4OC6H4PO3)-2H2O. It is one of the series of first row transition element compounds with the same general formula, but different water contents. The Cu(ll) compound structure was solved from its powder pattern, unit cell dimensions a = 8 1012(5), b = 5.3109(3), c = 29.2595(5) A. It has a layered structure in which the layers are spaced at half the c-axis dimension. The reason for the doubling of the c-axis is that in one layer the rings are tilted around the ether oxygen to the left and in the next layer to the right. The Cu atoms are 5-coordinate with square pyramidal structure. 

Obtaining a structural model fi-om the analysis of potentially isostructural compounds with partially or completely different chemical composition but identical or similar stoichiometry. The search for isostructural compounds may be conducted using a digitized powder pattern, unit cell dimensions, stoichiometry, and/or other suitable parameters. ... 

An ideal crystal is a periodic array of atoms with a certain pattern (unit) repeating itself infinitely in space. The simplest crystal contains one atom in the repeating unit however, there are no limitations on the total number of atoms or molecules that can be part of this unit. 

In two dimensions there are five possible units of pattern, unit cells, which can build a repetitive pattern by translation in directions parallel to the edges (Fig. 27.13). The unit cell with the 120° angle is interesting because it permits a threefold or sixfold axis of symmetry at a point in the pattern, which is a permissible type of symmetry in two-dimensional patterns.

Kundu and colleagues, working at Samsung Electromechanics in Korea, developed the silicon-based micro-channel reactor shown in Figure 11.13. Here a Cu/Zn0/Al203 Johnson Matthey catalyst was used. In the experiments a serpentine patterned micro-reformer proved superior in tenns of activity to a parallel-patterned unit. Nevertheless, dates for commercialisation, conclude the authors in the review, remain uncertain. 

Donoghue et al. 2000), thus independently corroborating homology between conodont and vertebrate hard tissues. Conodont hard tissues therefore reflect the plesiomorphic state for the vertebrate skeleton. From this, it follows that odontodes are the plesiomorphic patterning unit in the morphogenesis of the vertebrate skeleton and that an oral skeleton (i.e. dentition) is plesiomorphic relative to external armour. 

The problems experienced with similarity queries with low chemical specificity identify a need for 2-D attribute sets which consider larger connectivity pattern units of the molecular graph. Indeed, they should describe the skeletal graph (i.e., a graph devoid of chemical embellishment) as a complete pattern unit. In 3-D, the molecular shape is completely defined by the full (A) distance matrix (e.g., Crippen ) involving all atom pairs in the structure, whether they are bonded or not. In 2-D, a similar description can be expressed (e.g., Bersohn ) by considering the minimum number of bonds that must be traversed to reach atom j from atom i. A number of authors (e.g., Randic and Wilkins Carhart, Smith and Ven-kataraghavan ) have used these inter-nodal bond separations (INBSs) to derive atom codes for structure-activity studies. They would also seem to form a valid basis for 2-D similarity analyses.
