The crystal structures of two modifications of 4,49-dihydroxybenzophenone with 4,13-diaza-18-crown-6 have been analyzed in terms of their suitability for time-resolved diffraction studies of transient excited species in crystals. The room-temperature lifetimes of the triplet excited state of the dihydroxybenzophenone molecule in the two modifications have been determined as 44.2 6 1.2 ms and 49...

Single crystals of Li(6)CuB(4)O(10) have been synthesized, and its crystal structure has been determined. Li(6)CuB(4)O(10) crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric triclinic space group P1 (No. 1). The structure consists of isolated [CuB(4)O(10)](6)(-) polyanions that are bridged by six LiO(4) tetrahedra. Li(6)CuB(4)O(10) is a congruently melting compound. It produces SHG intensity similar to th...

The reaction of [24-Pyrim C6][NO3]6 ! 8H2O with the monopotassium salt of acetylenedicarboxylic acid yielded single crystals of [24-Pyrim C6][C4O4]2[NO3]2 ! 7 H2O, (1). The compound crystallized in the triclinic space group P1, with a = 9.731(8) Å, b = 10.953(9) Å, c = 14.270 (14) Å, a = 108.06(7)", b = 94.86(7)", c = 99.01(7)", Z = 1, R = 0.0737, R¢ = 0.1024, and 3709 independent reflections. ...

Two new isostructural mixed metal selenites, PbMSeO(6) (M = Mo(6+) or W(6+)), that are only composed of second-order Jahn-Teller (SOJT) distortive cations have been synthesized by standard solid-state reaction techniques using PbO, SeO(2), and MoO(3) (or WO(3)) as reagents. The structures of the reported materials were determined by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. The materials sho...

The crystal structure of four lutidinium chloranilates, (CH3)2C6H3NH + C6HO4Cl2 , was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction at room temperature. 2,4-lutidinium chloranilate (I): triclinic, P1̄ (#2), Z = 2, a = 11.401(2), b = 11.639(2), c = 5.1588(8) Å, = 91.899(15) , = 90.104(14) , and = 83.355(16) , 2,5-lutidinium chloranilate (II): monoclinic, P21/c (#14), Z = 4, a = 7.709(2), b = 11....

Carbon-bearing solids, fluids, and melts in the Earth's deep interior may play an important role in the long-term carbon cycle. Here we apply synchrotron X-ray single crystal micro-diffraction techniques to identify and characterize the high-pressure polymorphs of dolomite. Dolomite-II, observed above 17 GPa, is triclinic, and its structure is topologically related to CaCO(3)-II. It transforms ...

Two new coordination polymers, [Pb(L)(1,3-bdc)] ·2.5H2O (1) and [Cu(L)(1,4-bdc)] (2) (L = 2(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline; 1,3-bdc, 1,4-bdc = 1,3and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate), have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystal data for 1: C54H40F2N8O13Pb2, triclinic, space group P1̄, a = 9...
