Ba-IV-type incommensurate crystal structure in group-V metals

The long-unknown crystal structure of Bi-III has been solved. It comprises a body-centered-tetragonal (bct) "host" and a bct "guest" component made up of chains that lie in channels in the host; the guest is incommensurate with the host along the tetragonal c axis. Diffraction data for Sb-II reveal that it too can be fitted with the same composite structure. The structures of these two high-pressure phases of Bi and Sb are similar to those reported recently in the alkaline-earth metals Ba and Sr.

Pressure-induced hydrogen bonding: structure of D2S phase I'

The full structure of the high-pressure cubic phase I' of hydrogen sulfide has been solved using neutron diffraction data. The molecules are partially rotationally disordered about the <111> axes, as in phase II at ambient pressure but with markedly greater nonuniformity of the toroidal D distribution. The changes in structure at the II-->I' transition signal the onset of significant pressure-induced hydrogen bonding.
