The lattice symmetry chiefly determines the structure of the XeF ion in CsXeF7. The influence of the lone pair of electrons is here very weak, and the anion has a capped octahedral structure (C3v symmetry). The dinuclear anion Xe2F in NO2Xe2F13 can be structurally divided into an XeF6 molecule and an XeF ion. In this case the anion XeF is a capped trigonal prism (C2v symmetry).
A special composite of the cerium-based metal–organic framework (Ce-UiO-66) modified with graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (g-C3N4) has been synthesized. In order to make a comparison, a series of composites comprising...
with p-H,NC,H,SO,Na, gold/palladium colloids can be isolated as a silver grey, metallic looking precipitate. Such colloids are soluble in water giving a brown color.HRTEM investigations of these colloids show different intergranular structural images than the Au/Pt combinations. Two different types of particles can be distinguished. In Figure 2, right, one particle with the whole structure ordered is shown, as indicated by the optical diffractogram inserted. A comparison of this particle with the Au/Pd particle A in Figure 2, left, shows that the Au/Pd particle has a smoother surface-most likely resulting in a smaller surface area. The dark nucleus of the Au/Pd particle can be interpreted as the gold core, which is surrounded by the lighter shell of well-ordered palladium atoms. This will turn up more clearly for the lighter Pd shell compared to Pt.The second type of structure for the Au/Pd case is similar to the type B of Au/Pt in Figure 2 in such a way that the particle also gives an optical diffractogram of "polycrystalline" type ( Fig. 3, left). The intergranular structure has also in this case a smoother surface compared to the Au/Pt case. The HRTEM image of the approximately spherical specimen also shows a darker core.

A capped octahedron, a capped trigonal prism, and a pentagonal bipyramid are the three structural types possible for compounds with coordination number 7. TeF 7−, CH3OTeF 6−, and trans‐(CH3O)2TeF 5− are all pentagonal bipyramidal; the large methoxy groups take up axial positions. The equatorial F atoms deviate slightly from an ideal plane. The picture on the right shows the crystal structure of TeF 7−, which contains fourfold disordered equatorial fluorine atoms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
