The crystal structures of two compounds belonging to a group of theophylline derivatives have been solved by X-ray powder diffraction methods. Despite the fact that these compounds seemed to be rather simple (23 atoms in an asymmetric unit), the preferred orientation and dominant zone problems created very serious obstacles in the investigations, even for the most modern powder diffraction methods. The crystal structure of the first compound, 8-phenylazoxanthine, C14H14N6O2, was finally solved from laboratory diffractometer data, while in the case of the second compound, 8-(3-bromobenzylidene)xanthine, C15H14N5O2Br, it was not possible to reliably index its diffraction pattern until data had been collected at the high-resolution powder diffractometer ID31 at the ESRF Grenoble. The serious problems encountered during anab initiocrystal structure solution from powder data of these pharmaceutical samples are described and discussed.

The crystal structure of pentamethylcyclopentadienylsodium, [NaC10H15] (NaCp*), has been determined from high-resolution X-ray powder diffraction. The compound crystallizes in space group Cmcm with lattice parameters a = 4.61030 (3), b = 16.4621 (3), c = 14.6751 (2) Å, V = 1113.77 (4) Å3 (Z = 4). NaCp* forms polymeric multidecker chains along the a axis. The Rietveld refinement (Rp = 0.050 and RF = 0.163) shows that the Cp* moieties occupy, with disorder, two different orientations rotated away from the eclipsed conformation by ±13.8°.

By combining high-resolution X-ray powder diffraction data and stereochemical restraints, Rietveld refinement of protein crystal structures has been shown to be feasible. A refinement of the 1261-atom protein metmyoglobin was achieved by combining 5338 stereochemical restraints with a 4648-step (dmin= 3.3 Å) powder diffraction pattern to give the residualsRwp= 2.32%,Rp= 1.66%,R(F2) = 3.10%. The resulting tertiary structure of the protein is essentially identical to that obtained from previous single-crystal studies.

High resolution X-ray powder diffraction has been used to obtain the crystal structure of sideroxylin ( 4H-1-Benzopyran-4-one,5-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-7-methoxy-6,8-dimethyl) monohydrate, (C18H16O5).H2O, isolated from the bioactive ethyl acetate extract of Miconia ioneura Griseb (Melastomataceae) leaves. The crystal structure was determined using direct space methodology based on the simulated annealing algorithm. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that the material dehydrates while heated from room temperature to ~150°C.
