The structure of urea–phosphoric acid is reported at a large number of temperatures in the range 150–335 K from neutron diffraction data collected using a novel multiple single-crystal data collection method. The work focuses on the behaviour of the H atom involved in the short strong O—H...O hydrogen bond in this material. The position of this atom is shown to vary significantly, by around 0.035  Å, as a function of temperature, becoming effectively centred at the highest temperatures studied. This result, only accessible due to the accurate determination of H-atom parameters by neutron diffraction, has implications for the potential governing the hydrogen bond.

The structure determination of caesium oxalate monohydrate using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder neutron diffraction data and a combination of both has been undertaken. Results show that even for hydrogen-containing materials data collected rapidly on a high-flux neutron diffractometer improve the refinement such that accurate positional and thermal displacement parameters can be extracted for all atom types. This contrasts with structural models extracted from either data set alone that demonstrate the inherent limitations of the individual diffraction methods. The rapidity with which useful neutron diffraction data has been collected from hydrogen-containing compounds, 10 min in this study, indicates that the technique should be widely applicable allowing the facile and accurate extraction of hydrogen positions for many compounds.
