T1 - Thermal behaviour and crystal structure of sodium-containing hemihydrates of calcium sulfate N2 - A metastable sodium-containing hemihydrate ((6-x)CaSO₄∙xNa₂SO₄∙3H₂O, 0≤x≤1) limited by the pentasalt composition Na₂SO₄∙5CaSO₄∙3H₂O occurs as an intermediate solid phase in the systems Na₂SO₄-CaSO₄-H₂O, NaCl-Na₂SO₄-CaSO₄-H₂O, and NaCl-CaSO₄-H₂O. X-Ray structure determination of a crystal with pentasalt composition results in a super-structure of the pure hemihydrate (CaSO₄∙0.5H₂O), in which one Ca²⁺ion is statistically replaced by two Na⁺ ions. One Na⁺ cation is situated in a Ca²⁺ position in only one of the three chains of CaSO₄ forming an axis of nearly three fold symmetry along the c-axis. The second Na⁺ is located in the water channel neighbouring to the first Na⁺. The hydrate crystallized in a monoclinic space group C121 (No. 5) with a=24.1781(11), b=13.805(2), c=12.7074(12) Å, β=90.089(12)°. The dehydration temperature of the hydrates depends on their Na⁺ ion content. A high Na⁺ content (in water channels) blocks the water escape strongly, and the dehydration temperature increases. Thermal behaviour is also effected by the crystal sizes. The thermograms of small crystals as opposed to large ones show a exothermic effect adjoining the endothermic dehydration. This may be indicative for a change in the dehydration mechanism upon crystal size.

T1 - A "double-diamond superlattice" built up of Cd17S4(SCH2CH20H)26 clusters N2 - A simple preparation of Cd17S4(SCH2CH2OH)26 clusters in aqueous solution leads to the formation of colorless blocky crystals. X-ray structure determinations revealed a superlattice framework built up of covalently linked clusters. This superlattice is best described as two enlarged and interlaced diamond or zinc blende lattices. Because both the superlattice and the clusters display the same structural features, the crystal structure resembles the self-similarities known from fractal geometry. The optical spectrum of the cluster solution displays a sharp transition around 290 nanometers with a large Absorption coefficient (~84,000 per molar per centimeter).

T1 - Combining EXAFS and X-ray powder diffraction to solve structures containing heavy atoms N2 - Determination of structures using x-ray powder diffraction is complicated if the reflection intensities are mainly influenced by the scattering from heavy atoms and the atomic coordinates of light atoms remain uncertain. A method like EXAFS, which is sensitive to short range order, gives reliable atomic distances in the surroundings of heavy atoms with a precision of ±0.02 Å. The probability for obtaining the complete structure from x-ray powder diffraction increases if one includes parameters derived from EXAFS measurements as restraints during the procedure of structure solving. We demonstrate the potential of combining EXAFS and x-ray powder diffraction by solving the structure UO2[H2AsO4]2H2O. The procedure starts with the determination of space group and cell parameters from XRD powder data. In a second step the absolute values of the structure factor |F| are separated by iterating a decomposition formula. The heavy atom positions are determined by direct methods. In the third step atomic distances of coordination polyhedra are estimated using EXAFS. Subsequently, the complete coordination geometries around the heavy atoms including reliable distances are used as restraints in the structure solving and refinement procedure.

T1 - Uric acid monohydrate - a new urinary calculus phase N2 - In our laboratory more than 100,000 urinary calculi have been analysed since 1972. Amongst this huge sample, 15 specimens originating from a total of eight patients were observed showing similar characteristics but escaping unambiguous identification with any of the substances that have been described so far in urinary concrements. Therefore, the unknown substance was submitted to a more extended analytical regimen. Structural analysis by x-ray crystallography turned out to be most successful, identifying the unknown material as uric acid monohydrate. Uric acid monohydrate crystallizes in the monocline space group P21/c. Within the crystal, uric acid and water molecules form continuous layers by hydrogen bonds. This is in contrast to uric acid in its water free and its dihydrate forms, which both crystallize by forming 3-dimensional networks To the best of our knowledge , the existence of a monohydrate form of uric acid has not been reported so far. Accordingly, this is the first report on uric acid monohydrate as a urinary stone component. The frequency of only 0.015% in our survey indicates that uric acid monohydrate is rarely the main component in concrements, in contrast to uric acid and uric acid dihydrate with frequencies of 10% and 6%, respectively. The infrared spectrum of uric acid monohydrate is very similar to that of the other crystal forms of uric acid. Because of this similarity and its low frequency, uric acid monohydrate may have been overlooked as a component of urinary concrements. X-ray diffraction allows for better differentiation in routine stone analysis. All samples of uric acid monohydrate were found by solid state NMR spectroscopy to be highly contaminated by amorphous material. This material consisted of long aliphatic chains reminiscent of lipids and fatty acids, respectively. Concrements consisting of other forms of uric acid or urate lacked this amorphous component. Therefore, a role of this aliphatic material has to be taken into consideration when discussing the conditions that may favour the rare formation of concrements from uric acid monohydrate. As for as the metabolic situation of the affected patients is concerned, no common peculiarities became evident by a retrospective survey.
