In the course of an investigation of cracks in certain magnesia floors containing the mineral chlorartinite [Mg2(CO3)(H2O)(OH)]Cl·H2O, the dehydration process of chlorartinite was carried out in high vacuum. The crystal structure of dehydrated chlorartinite [Mg2(CO3)(H2O)(OH)]Cl was refined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data using the Rietveld method [R3c, a=22.6791(5) Å, c=7.22336(14) Å, V=3217.52(11) Å3, Z=18, Rp=4.13%, Rwp=5.82%]. Dehydrated chlorartinite exhibits the same type of 3D honeycomb zeolite-like crystal structure with large channels as the hydrated form. Compared to the hydrated form, the channels of dehydrated chlorartinite are empty because of the removal of all non-coordinating water molecules with the cell volume shrinking by 4.0%, leading to a more distorted environment of the magnesium atoms.

The crystal structure of skutterudite-related phase IrGe1.5Se1.5 has been refined by the Rietveld method from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. Refined crystallographic data for IrGe1.5Se1.5 are a=12.0890(2) Å, c=14.8796(3) Å, V=1883.23(6) Å3, space group R3 (No. 148), Z=24, and Dc=8.87 g/cm3. Its crystal structure can be derived from the ideal skutterudite structure (CoAs3), where Se and Ge atoms are ordered in layers perpendicular to the [111] direction of the original skutterudite cell. Weak distortions of the anion and cation sublattices were also observed.

Indexed X-ray powder diffraction data are reported for two organic salts with carbon rings having two quaternary nitrogens: diazonia-6,9 dispiro [5.2.5.2] hexadecane and diazonia-6,9 dispiro [5.2.5.3] heptadecane diiodides. For these compounds, which give solid electrolytes when associated with AgI, powder diffraction diagrams calculated by the Rietveld method from single crystal structure determinations are presented and are compared to the experimental diffraction data.

Cubic Structure

The crystal structure of a new cubic cristobalite-related sodium aluminosilicate Na1.45Al1.45Si0.55O4 [P213, a = 14.553 (1) Å] has been modelled using a modulation wave approach and the model tested against X-ray powder diffraction data using the Rietveld method. Owing to there being 64 independent positional parameters and eight independent Na sites, refinement of the tetrahedral framework atom positions and Na occupancies was not possible. The framework was modelled successfully in terms of q 1 = 1\over 4〈020〉_p^*-type (p = parent) modulation waves with the requirement that the MO4 (M = Al0.725Si0.275) tetrahedra be as close to regular as possible. Na/vacancy ordering was modelled successfully in terms of q 2 = 1\over 4〈220〉_p^* modulation waves. Only the Na-atom positions were refined. The significance of this unique modulated cubic cristobalite-related structure and the possible insight it provides to understanding β-cristobalite are discussed.

The zýkaite samples were found at abandoned Lehnschafter mine near Mikulov in the Krušné hory Mts. (Czech Republic). It occurs as irregular white to light greenish rounded to spherical aggregates up to 1.5 cm in size composed of tiny acicular crystals up to 5 - 10 μm in length. Its empirical formula can be expressed as (Fe3.79Al0.02)Σ3.81[(AsO4)2.66(PO4)0.20(SiO4)0.07]Σ2.93 (SO4)1.07(OH)0.44·15H2O (mean of 3 spot analyzes; on the basis of As+P+S+Si = 4 apfu).Zýkaite is probably monoclinic, with the unit-cell parameters refined from X-ray powder diffraction data: a 21.195(8), b 7.052(2), c 36.518(17) Å, β 91.07(2)° and V 5458(2) Å3. Raman spectroscopy documented the presence of both (AsO4)3- and (SO4)2- units in the crystal structure of zýkaite. Multiple Raman bands connected with vibrations of water molecules and (AsO4)3- groups indicate the presence of more structurally non-equivalent these groups in the crystal stucture of zýkaite.

Heavy Atom Method

The structure of the oxyphosphate Ni0.50TiO(PO4) has been determined ab initio from conventional X-ray powder diffraction data by the “heavy atom” method. The cell is monoclinic (space group P21/c, Z=4) with a=7.3830(5) Å, b=7.3226(5) Å, c=7.3444(5) Å, and β=120.233(6)°. Refinement of 46 parameters by the Rietveld method, using 645 reflexions, leads to cRwp=0.152, cRp=0.120, and RB=0.043. The structure of Ni0.50TiO(PO4) can be described as a TiOPO4 framework constituted by chains of tilted corner-sharing TiO6 octahedra running parallel to the c axis, crosslinked by phosphate tetrahedra and in which one-half of octahedral cavities created are occupied by Ni atoms. Ti atoms are displaced from the center of octahedra units in alternating long (2.231) and short (1.703 Å) Ti–O bonds along chains.

AbstractThe crystal structure of metastable Li2Si2O5, Fw = 150.05, has been refined by the Rietveld method using high resolution X-ray powder diffraction data recorded at the Daresbury Synchrotron Radiation Source on the new 8.3 diffractometer. Li2Si2O5, in keeping with many compounds of interest to the materials scientist, exhibits relatively broad diffraction peaks. It is important to establish the quality of crystal structure data that may be obtained from such materials on this new instrument. Various functions were used to model the peak shape from this instrument; a split-Pearson VII function appeared to be marginally superior to Pearson VII or Pseudo-Voigt functions. Refinement was carried out using the split-Pearson VII in the space group Pbcn (60) and terminated with a = 5.6871(6), b = 4.7846(5), c = 14.645(1) Å, V = 398.50 Å3, Z=4, Dc= 2.502 gcm−3, Rwp = 17.06, Rex = 14.48 and Χ2 = 1.39. The refined parameters are compared with those obtained from a previous single crystal X-ray determination.

Several benzothiophene-based compounds, including 1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylic acid, exhibit a wide variety of pharmacological activities. They have been extensively used to treat various types of diseases with high therapeutic effectiveness. In this contribution, the crystal structure of a new polymorph of 1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (BTCA) was determined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data with DASH, refined by the Rietveld method with TOPAS-Academic, and optimized using DFT-D calculations. The new form of 1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylic acid crystallizes in space group C2/c (No. 15) with a = 14.635(4), b = 5.8543(9), c = 19.347(3) Å, β = 103.95(1)°, V = 1608.8(6) Å3, and Z = 8. The structure is a complex 3D arrangement which can be described in terms of hydrogen-bonded dimers of BTCA molecules, joined by the acid–acid homosynthon, which interact through C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds to produce tapes further connected through head-to-tail π⋯π and edge-to-face C–H⋯π interactions. A comparison with a previously reported triclinic polymorph and with the related 1-benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid (BFCA) is also presented.

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.
