There has been some confusion in the published literature concerning the structure of Metastudtite (UO2)O2(H2O)2 where differing unit cells and space groups have been cited for this compound. Owing to the absence of a refined structure for Metastudtite, Weck et al. (2012) have documented a first-principles study of Metastudtite using density functional theory (DFT). Their model presents the structure of Metastudtite as an orthorhombic (space group Pnma) structure with lattice parameters of a = 8.45, b = 8.72, and c = 6.75 Å. A Powder Diffraction File (PDF) database entry has been allocated for this hypothetical Metastudtite phase based on the DFT modeling (see 01-081-9033) and aforementioned Dalton Trans. manuscript. We have obtained phase pure powder X-ray diffraction data for Metastudtite and have confirmed the model of Weck et al. via Rietveld refinement (see Figure 1). Structural refinement of this powder diffraction dataset has yielded updated refined parameters. The new cell has been determined as a = 8.411(1), b = 8.744(1), and c = 6.505(1) Å; cell volume = 478.39 Å3. There are only subtle differences between the refined structure and that of the first-principles model derived from DFT. Notably, the b-axis is significantly contracted in the final refinement as compared with DFT. There were also subtle changes to the U1, O1, and O3 atom positions. Tabulated powder diffraction data (d's and I's) for the Metastudtite have been derived from the refined model and these new values can serve to augment the PDF entry 01-081-9033 with a more updated entry based on observed X-ray powder diffraction data.

The crystal structure of calcium perchlorate anhydrate was determined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. The title compound was obtained by heating hydrated calcium perchlorate [Ca(ClO4)2·xH2O] at 623 K in air for 12 h. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca and is isotypic with Ca(AlD4)2. The asymmetric unit contains one Ca, two Cl and eight O sites, all on general sites (Wyckoff position 8c). The crystal structure consists of isolated ClO4 − tetrahedra and Ca2+ cations. The Ca2+ cation is coordinated by eight O atoms of eight symmetry-related ClO4 − tetrahedra within a distorted square-antiprismatic environment.

X -ray diffraction becomes a routine process these decades for determining crystal structure of the materials. Most of the crystal structures solved nowadays is based on single crystal X-ray diffraction because it solves the crystal and molecular structures from small molecules to macro molecules without much human intervention. However it is difficult to grow single crystals of sufficient size and quality for conventional single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In such cases it becomes essential that structural information can be determined from powder diffraction data. With the recent developments in the direct-space approaches for structure solution, ab initio crystal structure analysis of molecular solids can be accomplished from X-ray powder diffraction data. It should be recalled that crystal structure determination from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data is a far more difficult task than that of its single-crystal counterpart, particularly when the molecule possesses considerable flexibility or there are multiple molecules in the asymmetric unit. Salicylic acid and its derivatives used as an anti-inflammatory drug are known for its numerous medicinal applications. In our study, we synthesized mononuclear copper (II) complex of salicylate derivative. The structural characterization of the prepared compound was carried out using powder X-ray diffraction studies. Crystal structure of the compound has been solved by direct-space approach and refined by a combination of Rietveld method using TOPAS Academic V4.1. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations have to be carried in the solid state for the compound using GaussianW9.0 in the frame work of a generalized-gradient approximation (GGA). The geometry optimization was to be performed using B3LYP density functional theory. The atomic coordinates were taken from the final X-ray refinement cycle.

AbstractThe indexed X-ray diffraction powder data of trans-bis(dimethylphenylphosphine)bis(pyrazole)platinum, {Pt(C3H4N2)2[P(CH3)2(C6H5)]2, PTPP} and trans-(tricyclohexylphosphino) (triethylphosphino) platinum(II) chloride, (PtCl2P2C24H48, PTHE) are reported. PTPP crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c and PTHE crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pcab. The refined cell parameters were determined by employing a Siemens Debye-Scherrer camera (Fe radiation, λmean = 1.93736 Å). The cell constants are a = 21.516(5), b = 6.287(1), c = 17.929(4)Å, β = 102.51(1)°, V = 2367.7Å3 Dx=1.70Mg m−3, Dm = 1.70Mg m−3 for PTPP and a = 12.271(1), b = 19.375(1), c = 23.864(3)Å, V = 5673.4Å3, Dx = 1.553Mg m−3 for PTHE. The quantitative figures of merit (FN) are F23 = 47(0.010,51) [F20 = 60(0.009,35)] for PTPP and F30 = 12(0.008,324) [F20 = 27(0.017,105)] for PTHE. The JCPD S Diffraction File No. for PTPP is 37-1999 and for PTHE is 37-2000.

The structures of the layered intergrowth phases SbIIISb^{\rm V}_xAl-xTiO6 (x \simeq 0, A = Ta, Nb) have been refined by the Rietveld method, using X-ray diffraction data obtained using a synchrotron source. The starting models for these structures were derived from those of Sb^{\rm III}_3Sb^{\rm V}_xA 3−xTiO14 (x = 1.26, A = Ta and x = 0.89, A = Nb), previously solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. There were no significant differences between the derived models and the final structures, validating the approach used to obtain the models and confirming that the n = 1 and n = 3 members of the family, Sb^{\rm III}_nSb^{\rm V}_xA n−xTiO4n+2 are part of a structurally homologous series.

Melt Spinning Technique

In the present work X-ray studies were performed on annealed Fe78Nb2B20 amorphous alloy prepared by melt-spinning technique. All the samples were annealed in vacuum for 1 hour at temperatures up to 800°C. For the studied alloy -Fe and Fe2B are the stable, crystalline phases. The -Fe crystallized as the first crystalline phase in the sample annealed at 350°C. On the other hand, metastable Fe3B phase appeared to be stable during annealing in 425-800°C temperature range. The best fitting of the experimental X-ray data to as jet available ICDD files was obtained for Ni3P type structure (39-1315 – S.G.: I (82)). New, experimental powder diffraction data for metastable Fe3B phase prepared according to ICDD standards were elaborated for the sample annealed at 600°C. For this sample the best agreement between the calculated values of lattice constants and positions of experimental diffraction lines was obtained. The X-ray data were collected using X-Pert Philips diffractometer equipped with curved graphite monochromator on diffracted beam. The Treor program was applied for the analysis of X-ray diffraction data.
