The structures of Bi3Ru3O11, a = 9.3050(2)Ǻ, Pn3, and Bi2Ru2O7, a = 10.2957(1)Ǻ, Fd3m, have been redetermined by Rietveld analysis of powder neutron diffraction data. For both compounds there is no evidence for appreciable oxygen non- stoichiometry . X-Ray photoelectron spectra of both compounds show unusual line shapes. In the case of Bi3Ru3O11 this is a result of the mixed valency and surface oxidation. In Bi2Ru2O7 final state effects appear to be important.

Systematics in the X-ray photoelectron spectra (X. p. e. s.) of Ti, V, Cr, Mn and Nb oxides with the metal ion in different oxidation states as well as of related series of mono-, sesqui- and di-oxides of the first row transi­tion metals have been investigated in detail. Core level binding energies, spin-orbit splittings and exchange splittings are found to exhibit inter­esting variations with the oxidation state of the metal or the nuclear charge The 3d binding energies of the monoxides show a proportionality to Goodenough’s ( R — R c ). Other aspects of interest in the study are the satellite structure and final state effects in the X. p. e. s. of the oxides, and identification of different valence states in oxides of the general formulae M n O 2 n -1 and M 3 O 4 . The nature of changes in the 3d bands of oxides under­-going metal-insulator transitions is also indicated.

Sanidine is the monoclinic high-T modification of K-rich alkalifeldspars. Annealing at T > 9000C usually causes disordering of Al/Si distribution at the two non-equivalent tetrahedral sites, but it is supposedly possible to disorder samples of sanidine from Volkesfeld/Eifel at notably lower temperatures and shorter times [1]. To investigate this behavior and compare various approaches to obtain the Al/Si distribution, samples from different Eifel locations and Madagascar have been studied. Al/Si order was determined by direct and indirect methods, including X-ray and neutron diffraction of powder and single crystal samples. Neutron powder diffraction experiments were executed at the Fine Resolution Neutron Powder Diffractometer E9, single crystal neutron diffraction at the 4-circle Diffractometer E5 and diffuse neutron scattering experiments at the Flat-Cone Diffractometer E2, all located at the Berlin Research Reactor BERII. The Al/Si distribution was determined directly, refining site occupancies by applying Rietveld analysis to powder diffraction data and XTAL for single crystal data. This approach is inapplicable when using X-ray data, due to similar atomic form factors of Al3+ and Si4+, thus indirect methods [2,3,4] were applied. X-ray powder diffraction was performed at Helmholtz Centre Berlin, single crystal X-ray diffraction was done at Ruhr-University Bochum. The obtained data was processed using Rietveld refinement and ShelXL software, respectively. It was possible to verify a dependency of decreasing Al/Si order on increasing annealing times and temperatures. Interestingly we observed different results from direct and indirect methods, regardless whether samples were untreated or annealed. Applying the direct determination method, a stronger change of Al/Si distribution during annealing was revealed. Moreover, diffuse scattering of untreated and annealed samples was detected, which may arise from hydron incorporated in the crystal lattice.
