θ-KAlF4 is a new nanosized potassium tetrafluoroaluminate metastable polymorph (13×18×55 nm3). The crystal structure is solved ab initio from X-ray powder diffraction data in direct space [orthorhombic unit cell with a=8.3242(3) Å, b=7.2502(3) Å, c=11.8875(4) Å, V=717.44(5) Å3, Z=8, and space group Pnma]. This new structure type, unique in the whole AIMIIIF4 family, is related to the fluorite structure and consists of AlF6 octahedra linked via a common edge forming a bioctahedral motif which is trans-connected through the corner-shared fluorine, resulting in the formation of infinite ladderlike double file of octahedra ([Al2F8]2−)n running along the b axis.

AbstractThe ab-initio solution of the crystal structure of the zeolite material RUB-10 from X-ray powder diffraction data at 2 Å resolution is presented. Microcrystallinity and poor crystallinity are inherent properties of this material that could not be overcome by optimizing the synthesis conditions. RUB-10 is monoclinic with space group

A new similarity index for automated comparison of powder diagrams is proposed. In contrast to traditionally used similarity indices, the proposed method is valid in cases of large deviations in the cell constants. The refinement according to this index closes the gap between crystal structure prediction and automated crystal structure determination. The opportunities of the new procedure have been demonstrated by crystal structure solution of un-indexed powder diagrams of some organic pigments (PY111, PR181 and Me-PR170).
