Abstract We present an illustrative analysis of the complexity of a crystal structure based on the application of Shannon’s entropy formula in the form of Krivovichev’s complexity measures and extended according to the contributions of distinct discrete probability distributions derived from the atomic numbers and the Wyckoff multiplicities and arities of the atoms and sites constituting the crystal structure, respectively. The results of a full crystallographic complexity partition analysis for the intermetallic phase Mo3Al2C, a compound of intermediate structural complexity, are presented, with all calculations performed in detail. In addition, a partial analysis is discussed for the crystal structures of α- and β-quartz.

Abstract By adding a hot aqueous solution containing KF and K2[CO3] to another hot aquatic brine of Pr[NO3]3 ⋅ 5 H2O, Sm[NO3]3 ⋅ 5 H2O or Eu[NO3]3 ⋅ 5 H2O with a 1.3 times excess of the anion-providing solution, amorphous water-insoluble powders of PrF[CO3], SmF[CO3] and EuF[CO3] can be obtained.

Abstract MnSb2Te4 is a candidate magnetic topological insulator exhibiting more pronounced cation intermixing than its predecessor MnBi2Te4. Investigating the cation intermixing and its possible implications on the magnetic order in MnSb2Te4 are currently hot topics in research on quantum materials for spintronics and energy-saving applications. Two single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements of Mn1−x Sb2+x Te4 (x = 0.06 and x = −0.1) are presented alongside a detailed discussion of its crystal structure with a spotlight on the apparent occupancy disorder between the two cations. This disorder has been noted by other groups as well, yet never been analyzed in-depth with single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The latter is the tool of choice to receive a meaningful quantification of antisite disorder. Between the two synthesis procedures we find subtle differences in phases and/or alternation of the cation content which has implications on the magnetic order, as illustrated by bulk magnetometry. Understanding and assessing this disorder in magnetic topological insulators of the MnX2Te4 (X = Bi, Sb) type is crucial to gauge their applicability for modern spintronics. Furthermore, it opens new ways to tune the “chemical composition – physical property” relationship in these compounds, creating an alluring aspect also for fundamental science.

Abstract 5-Fluorouracil is a widely used anti-cancer drug which exhibits diverse polymorphic and co-crystalline behavior. Here we report two new solvent-free co-crystals of 5-fluorouracil with model co-formers nicotinamide and isonicotinamide, along with the redetermination of their hydrated analogues. Selected co-formers are categorized as safe and therefore suitable for pharmaceutical applications. Differences and similarities in supramolecular topology of the given structures are discussed. A special emphasis is set on the influence of fluorine moieties on the overall packing and synthetic accessibility of the presented multi-component systems.

Abstract The equiatomic metal-rich phosphide NbCrP shows a structural phase transition around 125 K. The structures of the high- and low-temperature modifications were refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data of an un-twinned crystal: TiNiSi type, Pnma, a = 619.80(2), b = 353.74(4), c = 735.24(6) pm, wR = 0.0706, 288 F 2 values, 20 variables at 240 K and P121/c1, a = 630.59(3), b = 739.64(4), c = 933.09(5) pm, β = 132.491(6)°, wR = 0.0531, 1007 F 2 values, 57 variables at 90 K. The structural phase transition is of a classical Peierls type. The equidistant chromium chain in HT-NbCrP (353.7 pm Cr–Cr) splits pairwise into shorter (315.2 pm) and longer (373.2 pm) Cr–Cr distances. This goes along with a strengthening of Cr–P bonding. The superstructure formation is discussed on the basis of a group–subgroup scheme. Electronic structure calculations show a lifting of band degeneracy. Protection of the non-symmorphic symmetry of space group Pnma is crucial for the phase transition. The estimated charge modulation is consistent with the interpretation as Peierls transition.
富金属等原子磷化物NbCrP在125 K左右发生结构相变。利用单晶x射线衍射仪数据对高低温改性的结构进行了细化:TiNiSi型,Pnma, a = 619.80(2), b = 353.74(4), c = 735.24(6) pm, wR = 0.0706, 288 f2值,240 K时20个变量;P121/c1, a = 630.59(3), b = 739.64(4), c = 933.09(5) pm, β = 132.491(6)°,wR = 0.0531, 1007 f2值,90 K时57个变量。结构相变是典型的佩尔型相变。HT-NbCrP中的等距铬链(353.7 pm Cr-Cr)成对分裂成较短(315.2 pm)和较长(373.2 pm)的Cr-Cr链。这伴随着Cr-P键合的加强。在群-子群方案的基础上讨论了上层建筑的形成。电子结构计算表明带简并度有所提高。保护空间群Pnma的非对称对称性是相变的关键。估计的电荷调制与佩尔跃迁的解释一致。

Abstract The ligand 3-(4-(1,3,5-trimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)phenyl)acetylacetone (1) combines a Pearson hard O,O′ chelating acetylacetone donor with a softer pyrazole N donor bridged by a phenylene spacer. Deprotonation and coordination to CuII leads to a square planar bis-acetylacetonato complex; interpreting the close proximity of an adjacent complex’s pyrazole moiety as an η 2 ${{eta}}^{2}$ coordination to the axial CuII position leads to a two dimensional extended structure. The N donor capabilities are proven by coordination to AgPF6 and AuCl; for AgI a cationic linear bis-pyrazole complex as a toluene solvate is obtained with toluene-pyrazole π-interactions and an essentially uncoordinated PF 6 - ${{mathrm{PF}}_{6}}^{-}$ anion. In the case of AuCl a neutral linear coordination compound with one chlorido and one pyrazole ligand 1 is obtained. Comparing the dihedral angles with a closely related but shorter ligand reveals a larger rotational degree of freedom in 1, allowing for richer architectures in emerging coordination polymers.

Abstract Diffraction techniques are well-established methods for crystal structure determination as well as phase identification and quantification. Raman spectroscopy can be a valuable complementary characterization technique, because in contrast to the former it yields also information on amorphous materials and it is a probe for short-range structural effects. The herein presented setup allows for simultaneous neutron diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, shown with a sample of lead sulfate under ambient conditions as a proof of principle. In order to fulfil requirements of both methods, a sapphire single-crystal is used as a sample holder. Practical considerations for successful simultaneous in situ neutron diffraction and Raman spectroscopic measurements are given.

Abstract The crystal structure of Sc3Ir4Si13+x (x = 0.22) [space group Pm3‾n$Pm‾{3}n$, a = 8.4651(1) Å] is found to be a new disordered variant of the primitive cubic Yb3Rh4Sn13 Remeika prototype. The silicide is stable in the narrow temperature range of 1283–1397 °C and reveals metallic properties. The crystal structure of Sc4Ir7Ge6 [U4Re7Si6 type, space group Im3‾m$Im‾{3}m$, a = 8.1397(8) Å] is refined for the first time. The electronic band structure calculations reveal that the properties of this germanide can be explained based on the free electron gas model. Both compounds reveal close structural relationships to the simple perovskite structure.

Abstract Phosphoric triamides are attractive to investigate because of their extensive applications in various fields, especially in medicine. Five new phosphoric triamides with the main parts [N]P(O)[NH]2 and [C(O)NH]P(O)[N]2 have been structurally analyzed by single crystal MoKα/synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction and characterized by spectroscopic methods (FT-IR and 1H, 13C, 31P NMR). Compounds crystallize in orthorhombic (1 with space group Pnma) and monoclinic (2 (P21/a), 3 (C2/c), 4 (P21/n) and 5 (P21/c)) crystal systems. The asymmetric unit of all structures consists of one phosphoric triamide molecule, except for 1 with one half of molecule. X-ray crystallography data reveal that the molecular architectures constructed by classical N—H … O hydrogen bonds are as 1D linear (building the R21(6)${R}_{2}^{1}(6)$, C(4) and R22(10)/R21(6)${R}_{2}^{2}(10)/{R}_{2}^{1}(6)$ motifs, respectively, for 1–3) or dimeric (the R22(8)${R}_{2}^{2}(8)$ ring motif for 4 and 5). A detailed investigation of the intermolecular interactions using Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis illustrates that the H … H, O … H/H … O and C … H/H … C contacts for all compounds, and Cl … H/H … Cl and F … H/H … F contacts for 3–5, are the most significant contributors to the crystal packing. Moreover, based on the calculated enrichment ratios (E), the O … H/H … O contacts including the classical N—H … O hydrogen bonds for all structures are considered as favoured contacts.
