Single-crystal structure refinements on lithium lanthanum zirconate (LLZO; Li7La3Zr2O12) substituted with gallium were successfully carried out in the cubic symmetry space groupI\overline{4}3d. Gallium was found on two lithium sites as well as on the lanthanum position. Due to the structural distortion of the resulting Li6.43(2)Ga0.52(3)La2.67(4)Zr2O12(Ga–LLZO) single crystals, a reduction of the LLZO cubic garnet symmetry fromIa\overline{3}dtoI\overline{4}3dwas necessary, which could hardly be analysed from X-ray powder diffraction data.

[Zr2F8(dmso)2(H2O)2], a dehydration product of [ZrF4(dmso)(H2O)2]⋅2H2O, crystallizes in the orthorhombic symmetry [space group Cmca, a=7.8266(3) Å, b=13.5847(5) Å, c=15.6119(6) Å, and Z=4]. The structure, solved ab initio in direct space from X-ray powder diffraction data, is built up from [Zr2F8O4] bipolyhedra formed by edge sharing of [ZrF5O2] pentagonal bipyramids (condensed from isolated [ZrF4O3] pentagonal bipyramids in the precursor). Difficulties associated with a fortuitous hexagonal pseudosymmetry were surmounted. The dmso departure at 220 °C leads to an amorphous phase.

AbstractIndexed X-ray powder diffraction data are reported for three tetrahydropyridinyl oxime cognition activators. For these drugs of formula C8H15N2O+Cl− powder diffraction data calculated from single crystal structure determinations are also presented and compared to the experimentally observed powder diffraction data. Comparison of experimental and calculated powder patterns assures that single crystals are good representatives of the commercial powdered samples.

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 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.

A polycrystalline sample of Ca4ZrGe3O12 was synthesized using the nitrate–citrate method and heated at 850–1100 °C. Structural refinement based on X-ray powder diffraction data showed that the crystal structure is of the garnet type with a cubic unit-cell parameter [a = 12.71299(3) Å] and the space group Ia$\bar 3$d. The structural formula is presented as Ca3[CaZr]octa[Ge]tetraO12.

Single crystals of Ba2K2Te2O9(dibarium dipotassium nonaoxidoditellurate), (I), Ba2KNaTe2O9(dibarium potassium sodium nonaoxidoditellurate), (II), and Ba2CaTeO6(dibarium calcium hexaoxidotellurate), (III), were obtained from KNO3/KI or KNO3/NaNO3flux syntheses in platinum crucibles for (I) and (II), or porcelain crucibles for (III). (I) and (II) are isotypic and are members of triple perovskites with general formulaA2[12co]A′[12co]B2[6o]B′[6o]O9. They crystallize in the 6H-BaTiO3structure family in space-group typeP63/mmc, with theA,A′,BandB′ sites being occupied by K, Ba, Te and a second Ba in (I), and in (II) by mixed-occupied (Ba/K), Ba, Te and Na sites, respectively. (III) adopts theA2[12co]B′[6o]B′′[6o]O6double perovskite structure in space-group typeFm-3m, with Ba, Ca and Te located on theA,B′ andB′′sites, respectively. The current refinement of (III) is based on single-crystal X-ray data. It confirms the previous refinement from X-ray powder diffraction data [Fuet al.(2008).J. Solid State Chem.181, 2523–2529], but with higher precision.

Single crystals of Ba2Nb2TeO10) have been prepared by solid state reactions in air. X-ray investigations led to orthorhombic symmetry, space group D152h-Pbca, a = 7.242(4), b = 12.433(3), c = 9.932(3) Å. Z = 4. Nb5+ and Te6+ show octahedral coordination by O2- . The crystal structure is characterized by planes of edge- and corner-sharing NbO6- and TeO6octahedra. It is shown that in spite of nearly identical lattice constants of Ba2Nb2TeO10 with compounds of the composition M0,5BaNbTe2O9 the so far unknown crystals of these substances may not be derived from the Ba2Nb2TeO10 type.
