AbstractThe structure of a 2-chain helical form of sulphur with 9 atoms per unit-cell has been determined from powder synchrotron x-ray diffraction data obtained at 3 GPa and 400ºC, using a combination of global optimization, simulated annealing and Rietveld refinement techniques.

AbstractMethods for the ab initio structure analysis of periodic approximant phases from single- crystal X-ray diffraction data are presented. These methods are particularly suited to complex approximant structures with large unit cells and strong pseudosymmetry (where routine X-ray structure solution tools fail) and are based on the “brute-force” deconvolution of the experimentally measured autocorrelation function. This function is obtained directly by a simple Fourier transform of the measured X-ray diffraction intensities. Sub-optimal diffraction data from twinned, nanodomain and polycrystalline specimens can be processed despite the inevitable lack of information due to reflection overlap and limited resolution. The deconvolution process allows complex approximant structures to be unraveled without prior knowledge about the structure-building motifs. Examples are presented for the systems Al-Co-Ni and Al-Co-(Ta).

A new calcium-based coordination polymer was synthesized using 4,4′-dimethoxy-3,3′-biphenyldicarboxylic acid as the linker. The thermal properties are investigated by high resolution synchrotron PXRD, TGA and DFT.
