The successful attempt to solve the crystal structure of Co(CO3)0.5(OH)·0.11H2O (denoted CCH), based on synchrotron powder diffraction data, leads to a drastic revision of the chemical formula to Co6(CO3)2(OH)8·H2O [hexacobalt(II) bis(carbonate) octahydroxide monohydrate] and to a hexagonal cell instead of the orthorhombic cell suggested previously [Porta et al. (1992). J. Chem. Soc. Faraday Trans. 88, 311–319]. This results in a new structure-type related to malachite involving infinite chains of [CoO6] octahedra sharing edges along a short c axis, delimiting tunnels having a three-branched star section. All reports discussing cobalt hydroxycarbonates (CCH) without any structural knowledge and especially its topotactic decomposition into Co3O4 have, as a result, to be reconsidered.

The crystal structure of a new phase consisting of the inclusion of the hyperpolarizable molecule p-N,N-dimethylnitroaniline (dimethyl-para-nitroaniline or dmpNA) in the large-pore zeolite mordenite (MOR) has been determined from high-resolution synchrotron powder diffraction at 300 and 90 K. The unit-cell parameters and space group at 300 K are similar to those of as-synthesized mordenite. The crystallographic study indicates that the MOR straight channels are almost fully loaded with molecules that are disordered over eight symmetry-related sites. As expected, the molecules are located in the large 12-membered ring channel, at the intersection with the secondary eight-membered channel with which they might form hydrogen bonds. The elongation axes (and then the dipole moments) of the molecules are slightly tilted (28.57°) from [001]. The configuration found suggests an interaction of dmpNA with framework O atoms through its methyl groups.

A new two-stage strategy for the solution of zeolite crystal structures with centrosymmetrical frameworks is proposed; this strategy exploits the information contained in multiple powder diffraction patterns. In the first stage, the structure-directing agent (SDA),i.e.the template molecule, is located by combining the isomorphous replacement technique with direct methods. In the second stage, the framework atoms are found by applying direct methods strengthened with additional information coming from the located SDA. All phase refinements are based on the maximization of the origin-free modulus sum function as implemented in the direct-methods programXLENS[Rius (2004).Z. Kristallogr.219, 826–832], with data resolution limits equal to 3.2 Å for the first and 2.21 Å for the second stage. The viability of this new two-stage strategy is illustrated with the solution of the novel zeolite ITQ-32, containing nine Si atoms in the asymmetric unit, from synchrotron powder diffraction data. Especially important is the confirmation that the intensity differences involved in the SDA isomorphous replacement are significantly greater than the experimentally measured errors.
