A computer program,3DBVSMAPPER, was developed to generate bond-valence sum maps and bond-valence energy landscapes with minimal user intervention. The program is designed to calculate the spatial distributions of bond-valence values on three-dimensional grids, and to identify infinitely connected isosurfaces in these spatial distributions for a given bond-valence mismatch or energy threshold and extract their volume and surface area characteristics. It is implemented in the Perl scripting language embedded in AccelrysMaterials Studioand has the capacity to process automatically an unlimited number of materials using crystallographic information files as input.

VALMAP2.0 is a Microsoft-Windows-based program designed to assist material scientists in accurate structural investigations. The aim ofVALMAPis to calculate the sum of bond valences that a particular atom would have if it were placed at any arbitrary point in the crystal. By movement of this atom through all possible points, its valence-sum contour map can be displayed. Parameters of the bond-valence model are available and may be modified. The program was tested in a number of cases and two examples of applications are reported: (i) finding probable atom sites in crystal structures; (ii) displacive and order–disorder phase transition mechanisms, analysing steric effects.

A series of samples of Y 1-x Pr x Ba 2 Cu 3 O y ( YPrBCO ) with 0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.6 was synthesized and characterized by DC magnetization, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Rietveld refinement. It is found that besides Pr substitution for Y , a part of Pr substituted for Ba in YBa 2 Cu 3 O y (YBCO), and the amount of Pr in the Y and Ba positions, respectively, is estimated by the refinement with the help of bond valence sum (BVS) calculation. By comparing the correlation of structural changes such as Ba-O (4) and Cu (1, 2)- O (4) bond lengths and superconductivity between our system with the reference system where Pr just replaces Y , structural evidences are found to explain Pr substitution for Ba suppresses Tc more strongly than that for Y .

The title double salt containing two distinct, differently protonated hexamolybdoplatinate(IV) polyanions, Na6[H5.5α-PtMo6O24][H4.5α-PtMo6O24]·29H2O, has been synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction atcapH 1.80. The positions of the H atoms in the polyanions were established from difference Fourier maps and confirmed by the interpolyanion hydrogen bonds, bond-distance elongation, and bond-valence sum (BVS) calculations. The fractional numbers of H atoms in each polyanion are required for charge balance and in order to avoid unrealistically short H...H distances in the interpolyanion hydrogen bonds. Considering the disorder, the refined formula of the title polyanion, {[H5.5α-PtMo6O24]; polyanion (A) and [H4.5α-PtMo6O24]; polyanion (B)}6−, can be rewritten as a set of real formula,viz. {[H6α-PtMo6O24]; polyanion (A). [H4α-PtMo6O24]; polyanion (B)}6−and {[H5α-PtMo6O24]; polyanion (A). [H5α-PtMo6O24]; polyanion (B)}6−. The polyanion pairs both form dimers of the same formula,viz. {[H10α-Pt2Mo12O48]}6−connected by seven interpolyanion O—H...O hydrogen bonds.

Bond Valence Sum

A new expression is devised empirically to accommodate zero and some negative oxidation states in the bond-valence sum approach. The method is worked out in detail for a number of homoleptic copper and nickel complexes of various coordinating atoms in several oxidation states of the metals. An implication of the expression is a linear variation between 1/r eq and 1/r ax in octahedral MX 6 moieties, where r eq and r ax are, respectively, the average equatorial and axial bond lengths. This is verified in Cu2+ X 6 chromophores for X = F, O, N and S. The usefulness of the new expression in assessing the compatibility of a coordination sphere with an oxidation state of a metal ion is demonstrated by exemplary applications to some inorganic complexes, azurin and urease.

Since the discovery of electrochemically active LiFePO4, materials with tunnel and layered structures built up of transition metals and polyanions have become the subject of much research. A new quaternary arsenate, sodium calcium trinickel aluminium triarsenate, NaCa1–x Ni3–2x Al2x (AsO4)3 (x = 0.23), was synthesized using the flux method in air at 1023 K and its crystal structure was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. This material was also characterized by qualitative energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis and IR spectroscopy. The crystal structure belongs to the α-CrPO4 type with the space group Imma. The structure is described as a three-dimensional framework built up of corner-edge-sharing NiO6, (Ni,Al)O6 and AsO4 polyhedra, with channels running along the [100] and [010] directions, in which the sodium and calcium cations are located. The proposed structural model has been validated by bond-valence-sum (BVS) and charge-distribution (CHARDI) tools. The sodium ionic conduction pathways in the anionic framework were investigated by means of the bond-valence site energy (BVSE) model, which predicted that the studied material will probably be a very poor Na+ ion conductor (bond-valence activation energy ∼7 eV).
