The structure of new La0.7Pr0.3Ba2Cu3Oy (LPBCO) compound was obtained at room temperature from synchrotron radiation X-ray powder diffraction data and refined by Rietveld technique. LPBCO has an isotypical structure with YBa2Cu3Oy (YBCO). The crystal data are: La0.7Pr0.3Ba2Cu3O6.96, Mr=716.16, orthorhombic system, space group Pmmm, a=3.9147(1) Å, b=3.8672(1) Å, c=11.7033(2) Å, V=177.177(6) Å3, Z=1, Dx=6.714 g/cm3; the structure was refined with 35 parameters to Rwp=7.41%, Rp=5.32%, and Rexp=3.07% for 5001 step intensities. Moreover, the total content of oxygen in a unit cell is refined as 6.96, which is less than that of the calculated one. We attribute the superconductivity-depression to the increase of the valence of copper.

The crystal structure of La0.67Ca0.33Mn0.80Cu0.20O3 (LCMCO) compound was determined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data and refined by the Rietveld method. LCMCO is isostructural with La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 (LCMO). The crystal data are: La0.64Ca0.36Mn0.82Cu0.18O3.01, Mr=843.80, orthorhombic system, space group Pnma, a=5.4364(1) Å, b=7.6725(2) Å, c=5.4452(1) Å, V=227.124(8)Å3, Z=4, Dx=6.168 g∕cm3. In comparing with the Cu-free compound, subtle structural changes such as bond lengths and bond angles found in the Cu-doped compound may be responsible for the larger effects on the transport and magnetic properties when Cu partially substitutes for Mn in CMCO.

The structure of the anticancer drug carmustine (1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea, C5H9Cl2N3O2) was successfully determined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data recorded at 278 K and at 153 K. Carmustine crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with Z = 4. The lattice parameters are a = 19.6935(2) Å, b = 9.8338(14) Å, c = 4.63542(6) Å, V = 897.71(2) ų at 153 K, and a = 19.8522(2) Å, b = 9.8843(15) Å, c = 4.69793(6) Å, V = 921.85(2) ų at 278 K. The Rietveld fits are very good, with low R-values and smooth difference curves of calculated and experimental powder data. The molecules form a one-dimensional hydrogen bond pattern. At room temperature, the investigated commercial sample of carmustine was amorphous.

The ternary nitridotungstate Li6WN4 has been synthesized via the solid state reaction of lithium subnitride, Li3N, with W under nitrogen. High quality X-ray powder diffraction data were collected for the crystal-structure determination. Li6WN4 crystallizes in the tetragonal system, space group P42∕nmc, with cell parameters a=6.6759(3) Å and c=4.9280(3) Å, Z=2. Preliminary thermal stability measurements of Li6WN4 show that it is sensitive to moisture, even at room temperature, and decomposes at high temperatures below 1000 °C under flowing nitrogen.

Synthesis and structure of two phosphates belonging to the ternary Sb2O5–In2O3–P2O5 system are realized. Structures of SbV1.50InIII0.50(PO4)3 and (SbV0.50InIII0.50)P2O7 phases, obtained by solid state reaction in air at 950 °C, were determined at room temperature from X-ray powder diffraction using the Rietveld method. SbV1.50InIII0.50(PO4)3 have a monoclinic (space group P21/n) distortion of the Sc2(W O4)3-type framework. Its structure is constituted by corner-shared SbO6 or InO6 octahedra and PO4 tetrahedra. Monoclinic unit cell parameters are a=11.801(2) Å, b=8.623(1) Å, c=8.372(1) Å, and β=90.93(1)°. (Sb0.50In0.50)P2O7 is isotypic with (Sb0.50Fe0.50)P2O7 and crystallizes in orthorhombic system (space group Pna21) with a=7.9389(1) Å, b=16.0664(2) Å, and c=7.9777(1) Å. Its structure is built up from corner-shared SbO6 or InO6 octahedra and P2O7 groups (two group-types). Each P2O7 group shares its six vertices with three SbO6 and three InO6 octahedra, and each octahedron is connected to six P2O7 groups.

Bis(ligand)iron(II) and nickel(II) complexes of the asymmetric tridentate ligand 1,3-bis(pyridin-2-yl) pyrazole , L, have been prepared. The iron(II) complex, [FeL2] [PF6]2, is high-spin in the solid state over the temperature range 304-102 K, with a magnetic moment of 5.27 BM at room temperature. The crystal structure of bis (1,3-bis(pyridin-2-yl) pyrazole )iron(II) bis (hexafluorophosphate ) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. The compound crystallized as yellow prisms, with the structure being disordered in the tetragonal space group P421c with Z = 2. Crystal data a = b = 8.785(1) Ǻ, c = 19.804(6) Ǻ. The iron(II) centre is in an N6 environment, where the six donor nitrogen atoms are provided by the two tridentate heterocyclic ligands. The complex cation has an approximately octahedral structure exhibiting tetragonal compression. The observed Fe-N(pyridine) and Fe-N( pyrazole ) distances are 2.308(4) and 2.019(7) Ǻ respectively, with the Fe-N(pyridine) distance being the longest observed to date.

The crystal structure of Na2Al2Ti6O16 was refined by the Rietveld method using synchrotron radiation and conventional x-ray powder data, and the agreement factors were Rp = 3.35%, Rwp = 4.30%, and RBragg = 6.39% for synchrotron data. The formula based on the chemical analysis and 16 O atoms is Na1.97Al1.82Ti6.15O16. The crystal data are monoclinic, C2/m, a = 12.1239(3) Å, b = 3.7749(1) Å, c = 6.4180(2) Å, β = 107.59(1)°, V = 280.00(4) Å3, Z = 1, and Dx = 3.82 g cm−3. The site occupancy refinement showed a partial ordering of Al3+ and Ti4+ ions in the two-crystallographically independent octahedral sites.

The X-ray powder diffraction pattern of the room temperature phase of Cd4GeSe6, a II4 □ IV VI6 semiconducting material, has been recorded and evaluated. This material crystallizes in the monoclinic space group Cc [No. 9] with a=12.847(3), b=7.407(2), c=12.854(2) Å, β=109.82(1)°, and Z=4. The powder diffraction pattern was also used to refine the crystal structure of this material employing the Rietveld method. The refinement of 56 parameters led to RWP=13.2%, RP=9.95% for 3751 step intensities and RB=7.05% and RF=5.20% for 833 reflections. Cd4GeSe6 can be considered a defect “adamantane-structure” material with a sphalerite-related superstructure.
