Sulphosalts in the system AgSbS2-AgAsS2 have been experimentally investigated using dry methods. The solid solutions which form between ?-miargyrite and smithite have different structures. The EPMA data for the solid solution series show that there is an inverse relation between Sb and As. The cell parameters of the solid solution between ?-miargyrite and smithite increase up to about 50% of...

Crystal Structure, 1,2,4-Thiadiazole, Intramolecular Cyclization The title compound was obtained in 82% yield by the intramolecular cyclization of 4BrC6H4C(NSCCl3)[N(SiMe3)2] in CH2CI2 at 23°C. It crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group PI, a = 7.957(3) Ä, b = 10.864(5) A, c = 5.625(1) A, a = 95.94(3)°, ß = 97.79(2)°, 7 = 100.72(3)°, V = 469.2(3) A3, and Z 2. The bond lengths of the p...

It is shown that there is a dynamic lattice instability in the aristotype P63/m structure of A10(PO4)6F2 apatites containing divalent A-site Cd or Hg cations with (n - 1)d(10)ns(0) electronic configurations. The distortion to a low-symmetry P\bar{1} triclinic structure is driven by an electronic mechanism rather than from ionic size mismatch. Our theoretical work provides key insights into the ...
