A new Ca1/3Sb1/6Bi1/2PO4 “CaSb0.50Bi1.50(PO4)3” phosphate has been synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction techniques at 900 °C in air atmosphere. Their crystallographic structures were determined at room temperature from X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) data using the Rietveld analysis. CaII1/3SbV1/6BiIII1/2PO4 material possesses the high-temperature BiPO4 monoclinic structure variety. It crystallizes in monoclinic system with P21/m space group and the cell parameters are: a = 4.9358(1) Å, b = 6.9953(2), c = 4.7075(1) Å, and β = 96.2(1)°. Their structure can be described as composed of alternating edge-sharing AO8 (A = Ca, Sb, Bi) bisdisphenoids and PO4 tetrahedra forming chains parallel to the b axis. Every AO8 polyhedron is surrounded by six PO4 and every PO4 tetrahedron is surrounded by six AO8 polyhedra. Infrared spectroscopic study was used to obtain further structural information.

Crystallographic structures of two new orthophosphates Ca0.50SbFe(PO4)3 and CaSb0.50Fe1.50(PO4)3 obtained by conventional solid state reaction techniques at 900 °C, were determined at room temperature from X-ray powder diffraction using Rietveld analysis. The two compounds belong to the Nasicon structural family. The space group is R3 for Ca0.50SbFe(PO4)3 and R3c for CaSb0.50Fe1.50(PO4)3. Hexagonal cell parameters for Ca0.50SbFe(PO4)3 and CaSb0.50Fe1.50(PO4)3 are: a=8.257(1) Å, c=22.276(2) Å, and a=8.514(1) Å, c=21.871(2) Å, respectively. Ca2+ and vacancies in {[Ca0.50]3a[◻0.50]3b}M1SbFe(PO4)3 are ordered within the two positions, 3a and 3b, of M1 sites. Structure refinements show also a quasi-ordered distribution of Sb5+ and Fe3+ ions within the Nasicon framework. Thus, in {[Ca0.50]3a[◻0.50]3b}M1SbFe(PO4)3, each Ca(3a)O6 octahedron shares two faces with two Fe3+O6 octahedra and each vacancy (◻(3b)O6) site is located between two Sb5+O6 octahedra. In [Ca]M1Sb0.50Fe1.50(PO4)3 compound (R3c space group), all M1 sites are occupied by Ca2+ and the Sb5+ and Fe3+ ions are randomly distributed within the Nasicon framework.

Crystallographic structures of the three NaSbR(PO4)3 (R = Cr, Fe, In) phases were determined at room temperature from X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) data using the Rietveld analysis. The three compounds belong to the Nasicon structural family. The presence of the (303) reflection in all XRD spectra of NaSbR(PO4)3 shows clearly that all compounds crystallise in rhombohedral system with R3 space group. Na atoms are practically ordered within the two positions, 3a and 3b, of M1 sites. Structure refinements show also a partially-ordered distribution of Sb5+ and R3+ ions within the Nasicon framework. A Raman and Infrared spectroscopic study was used to obtain further structural information about the nature of bonding in NaSbR(PO4)3 (R = Cr, Fe, In) phases.

The crystal structures of ASnFe(PO4)3 (A=Na2, Ca, Cd) phases, obtained by conventional solid state reaction techniques at (950–1000 °C), were determined at room temperature from X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) using Rietveld analysis. The three materials exhibit the Nasicon-type structure (R3c space group, Z=6) with a random distribution of Sn(Fe) within the framework. Hexagonal cell parameters when A=Na2, Ca and Cd are: a=8.628(1) Å, c=22.151(2) Å; a=8.569(1) Å, c=22.037(2) Å and a=8.587(1) Å, c=21.653(2) Å, respectively. Structural refinements show a partial occupancy of M1 (Na(1)) and M2 (Na(2)) sites in Na2SnFe(PO4)3 leading to the cationic distribution [Na1.22□1.78]M2[Na0.78□0.22]M1SnFe(PO4)3. Ca2+ ions are distributed only in the M1 site of [□3]M2[Ca]M1SnFe(PO4)3. From XRD data, it is difficult to unambiguously distinguish between Cd2+ and Sn4+ ions in CdSnFe(PO4)3. Nevertheless the overall set of cation–anion distances within the Nasicon framework clearly shows that the cationic distribution can be illustrated by the [□3]M2[Cd]M1SnFe(PO4)3 crystallographic formula. Distortion within the [Sn(Fe)(PO4)3] frameworks, in ASnFe(PO4)3 (A=Na2,Ca,Cd) phases, is shown to be related to the M1 site size. © 2004 International Centre for Diffraction Data.

Structures of two K2SnX(PO4)3(X=Fe,Yb) phosphates, obtained by conventional solid state reaction techniques at 950 °C, were determined at room temperature by X-ray powder diffraction using Rietveld analysis. The two materials exhibit the langbeinite-type structure (P213 space group, Z=4). Cubic unit cell parameter values are: a=9.9217(4) Å and a=10.1583(4) Å for K2SnFe(PO4)3 and K2SnYb(PO4)3, respectively. Structural refinements show that the two crystallographically independent octahedral sites (of symmetry 3) have a mixed Sn∕X (X=Fe,Yb) population although ordering is stronger in the Yb phase than in the Fe phase.

The X-ray diffraction patterns of two organic acids 1-naphthalenesulfonic acid dihydrate and 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid hydrate were measured at room temperature. Complexes of these acids with 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene (DMAN) were synthesized, purified and investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction. 1-Naphthalenesulfonic acid dihydrate as well as its complex with 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene crystallize in the monoclinic system with unit cell parameters refined to a=0.91531(8) nm, b=0.7919(1) nm, c=0.8184(1) nm, β=101.618(9)° space group P21/m (11) and a=1.7781(4) nm, b=2.0122(4) nm, c=1.2337(2) nm, β=96.54(3)°, space group C2/m (12), respectively. 2-Naphthalenesulfonic acid hydrate crystallizes in the orthorhombic system with a=2.2749(3) nm, b=0.7745(1) nm, c=0.591 36(9) nm, space group Pnma, whereas its complex with 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene crystallizes in the triclinic system a=1.3969(6) nm, b=1.4292(5) nm, c=1.1741(6) nm, α=90.93(3)°, β=98.14(3)°, γ=113.93(3)°, space group P-1 (2).

Ceramics of Sr2CaFe2WO9 and Sr2PbFe2TeO9 double perovskites have been prepared in polycrystalline form by solid-state technique, in the air. The crystalline structure was analyzed using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) at room temperature. Rietveld analysis of XRPD patterns show that both compounds adopt a tetragonal structure with space group I4/m, with unit cell parameters a = 5.5453(1) Å, c = 7.8389(1) Å for Sr2CaFe2WO9, and a = 5.5994(15) Å, c = 7.8979(30) Å for Sr2PbFe2TeO9. A certain degree of anti-site disordering of W and/or Te and Fe on the B –sites have been detected, indicating the presence of a partial amount of W and/or Te at Fe positions and vice versa.

Synthesis and structure of two phosphates belonging to the ternary Sb2O5-Fe2O3-P2O5 system are reported. Structures of both SbV1.50FeIII0.50(PO4)3 and (SbV0.50FeIIIe0.50)P2O7 phases, obtained by solid state reaction in air atmosphere at 950 °C and 900 °C, respectively, were determined at room temperature from X-ray powder diffraction using the Rietveld method. Sb1.50Fe0.50(PO4)3 phosphate belongs to the Nasicon-type structure with R32 space group. Hexagonal cell parameters are ahex.=8.305(1) Å and chex.=22.035(2) Å. Rietveld refinement results show a 2-2 ordered distribution, along the c-axis, of X(1) and X(2) sites (crystallographic formula [Sb0.88Fe0.12]X(1)[Fe0.38Sb0.62]X(2)(PO4)3) in the Nasicon framework. (Sb0.50Fe0.50)P2O7 is isotypic with β-SbP2O7 pyrophosphate [Pna21 space group; a=7.865(1) Å, b=15.699(2) Å, c=7.847(1) Å]. Its crystal structure is built up from corner-shared SbO6 or FeO6 octahedra and P2O7 groups (two group types). Each P2O7 group shares its six vertices with three SbO6 and three FeO6 octahedra, and each octahedra is connected to six P2O7 groups. A quasi 1-1 ordered distribution, along the b-axis, of Sb5+ and Fe3+ ions in the pyrophosphate framework are observed.

Structures of the two M0.50SbFe(PO4)3 (M = Mg, Ni) phases, abbreviated as [Mg0.50] and [Ni0.50], were determined at room temperature from X-ray diffraction (XRD) powder data using the Rietveld analysis. Both compounds belong to the NASICON structural family. XRD patterns of [Mg0.50] and [Ni0.50] phases were easily indexed with a primitive hexagonal unit cell [P$\overline 3 $ space group, Z = 6] similar to that already obtained for La0.33Zr2(PO4)3. Obtained unit cells parameters are [a = 8.3443(1) Å, c = 22.3629(1) Å], and [a = 8.3384(1), c = 22.3456(1) Å], respectively, for [Mg0.50] and [Ni0.50] phosphates. In both samples, the [Sb(Fe)(PO4)3]− NASICON framework is preserved and a partially-ordered distribution of Sb5+ and Fe3+ ions is observed. Raman spectroscopic study was used to obtain further structural information about the nature of bonding in [Mg0.50] and [Ni0.50] phases.
