A FORTRAN 77 program to perform full matrix least-squares refinement of unit cell parameters from powder diffraction patterns showing incommensurate supercell reflections is described. The code is completely general, being applicable to any crystal system, and can refine all three unit cell edges and angles and, in the presence of an incommensurate supercell, can refine the components of the modulation vector along all three reciprocal axes. Estimated standard deviations on all the refined parameters are calculated analytically.

The X-ray powder diffraction patterns of anilinium trimolybdate tetrahydrate, (C6H5NH3)2Mo3O10·4H2O, and anilinium trimolybdate dihyhydrate, (C6H5NH3)2Mo3O10·2H2O, have been measured in room temperature. The unit cell parameters were refined to a=11.0670(7) Å, b=7.6116(8) Å, c=25.554(3) Å, space group Pnma(62) and a=17.560(2) Å, b=7.5621(6) Å, c=16.284(2) Å, β=108.54(1)°, space group P21(4) or P21/m(11) for orthorhombic anilinium trimolybdate tetrahydrate and monoclinic anilinium trimolybdate dihydrate, respectively.

Combining the exhaustive indexing of triclinic powder diffraction patterns with a crystallographic determination of unit cell parameters from pinacoid and prism reflections yields unit cell parameters with realistic limits of error. Additionally a referee method has been developed by which the six reciprocal cell parameters of a triclinic phase are determined by solving an exhaustive set of linear simultaneous equations in six unknowns.

Diffraction patterns were recorded, and unit cell dimensions refined by the least-squares method, for lactitol and lactitol monohydrate. Refined unit cell parameters for lactitol are: a =7.622(1) Å, b = 10.764(2) Å, c = 9.375(1) Å, β= 108.25(1)° in space group P21, and those for lactitol monohydrate a =7.844(1) Å, b = 12.673(2) Å, c = 15.942(2) Å in space group P212121.

A novel algorithm has been developed for obtaining directly the applicable indices hkl for any interplanar spacing, dobs±Δdobs, of a triclinic phase with known unit cell parameters. This method is particularly useful for indexing back reflections for triclinic phases with unit cell volumes greater than 500 Å3.

New X-ray powder diffraction patterns for two cholesterol derivatives, cholest-4-ene-3,6-dione and cholest-4-en-3-one are reported in the range 0<2θ<115°. Both compounds crystallize in similar monoclinic cells in space-group P21, with unit cell parameters a=10.481(3) Å, b=8.0354(8) Å, c=14.677(3) Å, β=105.265(7)°, V=1192.5(4) Å3 for C27H42O2, and a=10.703(2) Å, b=7.8750(6) Å, c=14.660(3) Å, β=105.205(14)°, V=1192.4(4) Å3 for C27H44O. The patterns, confirmed by single-crystal studies, do not match the PDF 17-1144 and PDF 10-649. A fitting of the overall parameters was performed with Fullprof using the atomic parameters obtained from single-crystal studies.

Precise X-ray powder diffraction patterns of hydrated and anhydrous thallium pentaborates have been collected on a D5000 diffractometer with a primary monochromated beam (λ Cu Kα1=1.5406 Å). Refinement of indexed reflections led to the following unit cell parameters: a=11.279(1)Å, b=7.1507(6)Å, c=13.953(1)Å, β=94.164(7)° in the P21/c space group with Z=4, Dx=2.713 gcm−3, Dm=2.6 gcm−3 for Tl[B5O6(OH)4]·2H2O and a=7.5698(5)Å, b=11.9509(6)Å, c=14.759(1)Å in the Pbca space group with Z=8, Dx=3.844 gcm−3, Dm=3.6 gcm−3 for TlB5O8. Very good Smith and Snyder figures of merit have been obtained: F30=139.7 (0.0043, 50) for Tl[B5O6(OH)4]·2H2O and F30=139.3 (0.0054, 40) for TlB5O8.
