Abstract: The synthesis and crystal structure ofbis(o-phenylenethiourea)selenium(II)-chloride dihydrate, Se(C7H6N2S)2Cl2·2H2O are reported. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group, P21/n, with four molecules per unit cell, the dimensions of which area=10.243(3),b=13.341(4),c=14.273(4) A,β=93.00(3)°,U=1947.76 A3. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares toR=0.039 andR

=0.040 for 3314 unique reflections. Selenium displays two strong coordinations arising from the two sulfurs, Se-S(1)=2.191(1), Se-S(2)=2.206(1) A, and S(1)-Se-S(2)=101.0(1)°, and four secondary interactions involving three chlorines and one sulfur. The complex occurs as a dimer with two sets of very weakly interacting bridging pairs S(2), S(2)a; and Cl(2), Cl(2)a, where “a” denotes the inversion related atom. Lattice stabilization is ensured by the extensive network of hydrogen bonds involving chlorines, water oxygens, and nitrogens of phenylenethiourea ligands.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Hartree-Fock wave function was used to compute X-ray scattering factors for neutral atoms from He to Lw and for most of the chemically significant ions through Lu3+ through Lu 3+.
Abstract: X-ray scattering factors for neutral atoms from He to Lw and for most of the chemically significant ions through Lu3+ have been computed from numerical Hartree–Fock wave functions. The results are given in the form of coefficients for an analytic function.

TL;DR: In this paper, relativistic calculations of the photoelectric cross section have been made and the integral for the principal contribution to Δf′ has been evaluated numerically without approximation to the form of the cross section-vs-energy curve, as has been done in previous calculations.
Abstract: Anomalous scattering factors Δf′ and Δf″ have been calculated relativistically for Cr, Fe, Cu, Mo, and Ag Kα radiations for the atoms Li through Cf. An interpolation scheme for other wavelengths is included in a separate report. Relativistic calculations of the photoelectric cross section have been made and the integral for the principal contribution to Δf′ has been evaluated numerically without approximation to the form of the cross section‐vs‐energy curve, as has been done in previous calculations. Many of the results are significantly different from previous calculations. Where experimental values exist, agreement for Δf″ is improved. For the rare gases, except for xenon, agreement between Δf′ and experiment is improved. Because of the more rigorous evaluation of Δf′ from cross‐section information, it is presumed that the present Δf′ values are more accurate than previous calculated values. Calculated mass absorption coefficients for the elements are included as incidental information.

TL;DR: In this paper, the x-ray form factors for a bonded hydrogen in the hydrogen molecule have been calculated for a spherical approximation to the bonded atom, and the corresponding complex scattering factors have also been calculated.
Abstract: The x‐ray form factors for a bonded hydrogen in the hydrogen molecule have been calculated for a spherical approximation to the bonded atom. These factors may be better suited for the least‐squares refinement of x‐ray diffraction data from organic molecular crystals than those for the isolated hydrogen atom. It has been shown that within the spherical approximation for the bonded hydrogens in H2, a least‐squares refinement of the atomic positions will result in a bond length (Re value) short of neutron diffraction or spectroscopic values. The spherical atoms are optimally positioned 0.07 A off each proton into the bond. A nonspherical density for the bonded hydrogen atom in the hydrogen molecule has also been defined and the corresponding complex scattering factors have been calculated. The electronic density for the hydrogen molecule in these calculations was based on a modified form of the Kolos—Roothaan wavefunction for H2. Scattering calculations were made tractable by expansion of a plane wave in spheroidal wavefunctions.

TL;DR: In this article, a qualitative explanation of the secondary bond behavior is given, and it is argued that the secondary bonds are the result of directed forces rather than electrostatic or non-nondirectional van der Waals forces.
Abstract: Publisher Summary A number of recent crystal structure determinations on compounds of the nonmetals have discovered intramolecular distances that are much longer than normal bonds, and intermolecular distances that are much shorter than van der Waals distances. In this chapter, these interactions are examined and a qualitative explanation is attempted. It will become clear that in most of them an approximately linear arrangement is found, Y-A—X where Y-A is a normal bond and A—X is a short intermolecular distance. It is with these approximately linear interactions that we are particularly concerned, and it will be our contention that they are the result of directed forces and that their behavior is sufficiently regular and understandable for the name secondary bond to be appropriate. The only conclusive method of establishing the presence of secondary interactions is by crystal structure determinations. An intermolecular interaction can be recognized as being significant by being shorter than the expected intermolecular (van der Waals) distance, but if it is the result of directed forces— that is, bonds rather than electrostatic or nondirectional van der Waals forces.
