The crystal structure of four cyanometallates has been determined from X-ray powder diffraction data using the Rietveld method. The variously hydrated compounds Cu3[Co(CN)6]2, Mn3[Co(CN)6]2 and KNi[Fe(CN)6] crystallize at cubic symmetry (Fm3m) with lattice parameters 10.032(2), 10.413(3) and 10.234(5) Å, respectively. The crystal of KMn[Fe(CN)6]·2H2O shows a monoclinic structure (P21/c) with the lattice parameters a=10.108(2) Å, b=10.104(3) Å, c=10.114(3) Å, β=92°, 93°. The starting model was based on an isomorphic Mn3[Co(CN)6]2 single crystal structure, where Co and Mn ions are octahedrally coordinated by C and N atoms, respectively, forming three-dimensional bimetallic networks with the C≡N groups as bridging ligands.

The crystal structures of Mek[Fe(CN)6];l·mH2O where Me = Cu, Ni and Co, have been refined from X-ray (CuKa) powder diffraction data by means of Rietveld analyses in space group . The Fe and Me ions are octahedrally coordinated by C and N atoms respectively, forming three-dimensional bimetallic networks with the CN-groups as bridging ligands. The Me(l) sites (k = 2, l=1) and the Fe sites (k = 3, l = 2) are partially occupied. Water oxygens were placed in alternative, empty metal sites.

The crystal structure of CaZr(PO4)2 was determined from conventional X-ray powder diffraction data using direct methods, and it was further refined by the Rietveld method. The structure was orthorhombic (space group P212121, Z=4) with a=1.448 76(4), b=0.672 13(1), c=0.623 47(2) nm, and V=0.607 10(3) nm3. Final reliability indices were Rwp=6.49%, RB=2.43%, and S=1.32. The Ca atom is sevenfold coordinated, and the Ca atom and surrounding oxygen atoms form a distorted capped octahedron with a mean Ca–O distance of 0.243 nm. The ZrO7 coordination polyhedron is a distorted pentagonal bipyramid with a mean Zr–O distance of 0.216 nm. CaO7, ZrO7, and PO4 polyhedra share edges to form infinite chains with the composition [CaO3ZrO3P2O8]12− along the [010]. Individual chains are linked together, forming a two-dimensional sheet parallel to (100). These sheets are stacked in the [100] direction to form a three-dimensional structure.

Crystal structure of the skutterudite-related phase has been refined by the Rietveld method from X-ray powder diffraction data. Refined crystallographic data for CoSn1.5Te1.5 are a=12.9063(2) Å, c=15.7837(3) Å, V=2276.89(4) Å3, space group R3 (No. 148), Z=24, and Dx=7.50 g/cm3. The crystal structure of the title compound can be viewed as a modification of the skutterudite structure (CoAs3)—it is isostructural with CoGe1.5Te1.5 and IrSn1.5Te1.5. In the structure of CoSn1.5Te1.5, the Sn and Te atoms exhibit long-range ordering, which results in lowering of the original cubic symmetry of the skutterudite structure to the trigonal one.

The monoclinic crystal structure of lithium chromium(III) diphosphate, LiCrP2O7, isotypic with other members of the series LiM IIIP2O7 (M III = Mn, Fe, V, Mo, Sc and In), was refined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data using the Rietveld method. The Cr3+ cation is bonded to six O atoms from five diphosphate anions to form a distorted octahedron. Links between the bent diphosphate anions and the Cr3+ cations result in a three-dimensional network, with tunnels filled by the Li+ cations in a considerably distorted tetrahedral environment of O atoms.

In the present work, LaNi0.5Ti0.45Co0.05O3, LaNi0.45Co0.05Ti0.5O3, and LaNi0.5Ti0.5O3 perovskites were synthesized by the modified Pechini method. These materials were characterized using X-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction coupled to the Rietveld method. The crystal structure of these materials is orthorhombic, with space group Pbnm (No 62). The unit-cell parameters are a = 5.535(5) Å, b = 5.527(3) Å, c = 7.819(7) Å, V = 239.2(3) Å3, for the LaNi0.5Ti0.45Co0.05O3, a = 5.538(6) Å, b = 5.528(4) Å, c = 7.825(10) Å, V = 239.5(4) Å3, for the LaNi0.45Co0.05Ti0.5O3, and a = 5.540(2) Å, b = 5.5334(15) Å, c = 7.834(3) Å, V = 240.2(1) Å3, for the LaNi0.5Ti0.5O3.

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.

The crystal structure of cefprozil monohydrate has been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data and optimized using density functional techniques. Cefprozil monohydrate crystallizes in space group P21 (#4) with a = 11.26513(6), b = 11.34004(5), c = 14.72649(11) Å, β = 90.1250(4)°, V = 1881.262(15) Å3, and Z = 4. Although a reasonable fit was obtained using an orthorhombic model, closer examination showed that many peaks were split and/or had shoulders, and thus the true symmetry was monoclinic. DFT calculations revealed that one carboxylic acid proton moved to an amino group. The structure thus contains one ion pair and one pair of neutral molecules. This protonation was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy. There is an extensive array of hydrogen bonds resulting in a three-dimensional network. The powder pattern has been submitted to ICDD® for inclusion in the Powder Diffraction File™.

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.

The crystal structure of the mullite in a commercial material was refined by the Rietveld method using laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. In this one refinement, most of the common challenges—including variable stoichiometry (partially occupied sites), multiple impurity phases, amorphous material, constraints, restraints, correlation, anisotropic profiles, microabsorption, and contamination during grinding—are encountered and the thought processes during the refinement are described step-by-step. Interpretation of the refinements includes bulk chemical analysis, chemical composition of the mullite, assessment of the geometry, bond valence sums, the displacement coefficients, crystallite size and microstrain, comparison to similar structures to assess chemical reasonableness, and the nature of the amorphous phase.

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.
