Polycrystalline BaTi1−x(Zn1/3Nb2/3)xO3 (x=0.025 and 0.9) compounds were synthesized successfully and studied by XRD and dielectric measurements. The effects of the Ti/(Zn,Nb) ratio on the structure and dielectric properties of the compounds were investigated. XRD results indicated that the crystal structure of the x=0.09 compound is cubic perovskite with space group Pm3m and a=4.0095(4) Å. For the x=0.09 compound, a splitting of the (200) peak was observed near 40.2°, indicating that the crystal structure changed from cubic to tetragonal, with space group P4mm, a=4.026(4) Å, and c=4.0091(4) Å. Rietveld refinement of the crystal structures led to final confidence factors Rp=0.0353 and Rp=0.0349 for x=0.025 and 0.9, respectively. Dielectric measurements showed a relaxor behavior present in BaTi0.1(Zn1/3Nb2/3)0.9.

The crystal structure of pentamethylcyclopentadienylsodium, [NaC10H15] (NaCp*), has been determined from high-resolution X-ray powder diffraction. The compound crystallizes in space group Cmcm with lattice parameters a = 4.61030 (3), b = 16.4621 (3), c = 14.6751 (2) Å, V = 1113.77 (4) Å3 (Z = 4). NaCp* forms polymeric multidecker chains along the a axis. The Rietveld refinement (Rp = 0.050 and RF = 0.163) shows that the Cp* moieties occupy, with disorder, two different orientations rotated away from the eclipsed conformation by ±13.8°.

Crystal structure of Ca1.1Co1.9(PO4)2 was successfully determined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data (Co Kα) using direct methods and the Rietveld refinement. The crystal structure was found to be monoclinic (space group P21∕n, Z=4) with lattice dimensions of a=1.452 67(5) nm, b=0.494 34(1) nm, c=0.867 50(3) nm, β=92.316(1)°, and V=0.622 45(3) nm3. The final reliability indices calculated from the Rietveld refinement were Rwp=3.93%, Rp=3.02%, RB=4.10%, and S=1.48. Both Co and Ca atoms were distributed over the 2a and 2d sites with a preference of Ca at the 2d site. The coexistence of Co and Ca on the 2a and 2d sites is indispensable for stabilizing Ca1.1Co1.9(PO4)2 in the Ca3(PO4)2-Co3(PO4)2 system.
