The crystal structure of 5-O-acetyl-1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glucoseptanose [P212121, Z 8, a 14.329(5), b 22.075(5), c 10.012(5) �] has been determined by X-ray and neutron diffraction analyses. For the neutron diffraction analysis, the acetate group and the trans-O-isopropylidene group were deuterated. Constrained refinement was used in the neutron diffraction analysis to counter over parameterization in the block-diagonal least-squares refinement. Final unweighted R-values were 0.038 [X-ray for 3070 reflections with [Fo > 2.58σ (Fo)] and 0.061 [neutron for 1118 reflections with Fo > 4σ ([Fo)]The neutron refinement revealed a disordering of the acetate methyl group in each of the two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The septanose ring in each molecule adopted the same twist-chair conformation but the dioxolan rings assumed different twist and envelope conformations.

The study of preferred crystallographic orientation (texture) in ceramics is assuming greater importance as their anisotropic crystal properties are being used to advantage in an increasing number of applications. The quantification of texture by a reliable and rapid method is required. Analysis of backscattered electron Kikuchi patterns (BEKPs) can be used to provide the crystallographic orientation of as many grains as time and resources allow. The technique is relatively slow, particularly for noncubic materials, but the data are more accurate than any comparable technique when a sufficient number of grains are analyzed. Thus, BEKP is well-suited as a verification method for data obtained in faster ways, such as x-ray or neutron diffraction. We have compared texture data obtained using BEKP, x-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction. Alumina specimens displaying differing levels of axisymmetric (0001) texture normal to the specimen surface were investigated.BEKP patterns were obtained from about a hundred grains selected at random in each specimen.

Chain Ordering

In the basal planes of the orthorhombic YBa2Cu3O7-X compound with x=0.07, which has a Tc of around 90K, chains of copper-oxygen are formed along the [010] direction. Previous investigations on the variation of Tc with oxygen content have shown the existence of a plateau at Tc = 60K for x=0.3 to 0.4, suggesting the presence of a separate phase. This phase has also been identified to be orthorhombic, but with a 2x superlattice along [100] of the parent structure, and the superlattice has been attributed to the formation of alternating copper-oxygen and copper-vacancy chains. In our work, we have studied the chain ordering phenomenon by electron microscopy and neutron diffraction on samples with different oxygen contents. We report here some of our electron microscopy findings for samples with x=0.4.Powder samples of YBa2Cu3O7-X were prepared by controlled re-oxidation of previously reduced material. For electron microscopy, the sample was dry ground using a mortar and pestle in a dry nitrogen atmosphere without the use of any solvent and transferred dry onto holey carbon film for examination in a Philips CM12 microscope.
