The structure of synthetic chervetite has been refined by full matrix least-squares to a ωR = 0.029 using 1105 reflections. Unit cell dimensions are a = 13.3689(7), b = 7.1607(4), c = 7.1027(4) Å, β = 105935(5)°, and the space group is P21/a. The structure, originally solved by Kawahara, is a dichromate-type structure with a V2O74− group eclipsed to within 11 ± 5°. The Pb2+ ions are irregularly coordinated to 8 or 9 oxygens with distances from 2.40 to 3.20 Å. The distortion of the Pb–O distances is considerably greater than the corresponding distortions of the Sr–O distances in the similar β-Sr2V2O7 structure and is related to the tendency of Pb2+ to form directional covalent bonds. The V–O distances range from 1,665 to 1.720 Å for terminal oxygens and are 1.812 and 1.821 Å for the bridging oxygens. The V–O distances are consistent with the strengths of the Pb—O bonds.

The crystal structure of Mg2As2O7 has been refined by full matrix least squares procedures using 587 observed reflections. The structure of Mg2As2O7 is of the thortveitite type, as reported by Łukaszewicz, with space group C2/m and unit cell dimensions a = 6.567(2) Å, b = 8.524(4) Å, c = 4.739(1) Å, β = 103.8(1)°, and Z = 2. The As—O—As group in the anion appears to be linear but the central oxygen atom undergoes considerable disorder in the plane perpendicular to this group. The AsO bond distances uncorrected for thermal motion are 1.67 Å for the As—O(—As) bond and 1.66 and 1.65 Å for the terminal As—O bonds. The final R value obtained is 0.088.

Benzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate, C6H5N2+•BF4−, crystallizes in space group P21/a with unit cell dimensions a = 17.347(2), b = 8.396(1), c = 5.685(1) Å, β = 92.14(1)°, Z = 4. The structure was solved by direct phasing methods using the program SHELX 76. The parameters were refined by full-matrix least-squares to a final R = 0.063 for 1346 observed reflections. The bond lengths and angles agree very well with those of Rømming for benzenediazonium chloride. The C—N and N≡N bond lengths are 1.415(3) and 1.083(3) Å, respectively, and the bonds of the benzene ring do not show any significant differences as they vary from 1.371(5) to 1.383(4) Å. There are three [Formula: see text] close contacts of ≤ 2.84 Å and the positive charge appears to be shared between the nitrogen atoms.

The crystal structure of a thiathiophthen nitrogen isostere (7) has been solved by X-ray analysis. The crystal belongs to the triclinic system with unit cell dimensions: a = 11.275(11), b = 9.558(10), c = 10.797(10) Å, α = 92.50(10), β = 116.98(10), γ = 92.61(10)°. There are two molecules per unit cell, space group [Formula: see text]. The data were collected by diffractometer with CuKα radiation. The structure was solved by symbolic addition procedures, and fully refined anisotropically using full-matrix least squares to an R factor of 6.3%.The S—S and S—N bond lengths were found to be 2.364 and 1.887 Å, respectively. This reveals the partial bonding character between S … S … N atoms.

An improved, one-pot synthesis is reported for the [Ru (dppm -P)(dppm -P, P′)(η-C5H5)]+ cation as its BF4- salt. The crystal structure of [Ru ( dppm - P)( dppm -P,P′)(η-C5H5)]+, obtained as the mixed PF6-/PO2F2- salt, has also been determined. There are few differences in dimensions between the mono- and bi-dentate dppm ligands; chelation sharply reduces the P-CH2-P angle, and one phenyl group on each phosphorus is bent away from the metal. Crystals are monoclinic, space group C2/c with unit cell dimensions a 21.743(3), b 23.594(3), c 21.352(3)Ǻ, β 110.17(1) and Z 8. The structure was refined by a full-matrix least-squares procedure to final R 0.078 and Rw 0.087 for 4490 reflections with I > 2.5σ(I).

The structures of the title compounds have been determined by three dimensional X-ray crystal structure analysis.Crystals of anhydrous phenacylkojate are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with unit cell dimensions a = 9.087(4), b = 11.764(3), c = 12.714(4) Å, β = 116.57(2)°, Z = 4. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares to R = 0.044 for 1225 independent diffractometer observations. The crystal structure is held together by hydrogen bonding between carbonyl and hydroxyl groups and [Formula: see text] interactions.Crystals of the sodium chloride complex are monoclinic, space group C2/c, with unit cell dimensions a = 11.3714(6), b = 15.796(1), c = 14.487(1) Å, β = 97.241(5)°, Z = 4. The structure was solved by heavy atom and Fourier methods and comparison with the previously determined structure of the potassium iodide complex. It was refined to R = 0.040 for 1670 independent diffractometer observations. The structure closely resembles that of the potassium iodide complex (P21/n), but in C2/c, the alkali metal ion being eight co-ordinate in each. Na+—O distances are in the range 2.558–2.674 Å and the [Formula: see text] hydrogen bonded distance is 3.266 Å.

AbstractA Fortran 77 computer program has been developed for the quantitative analysis of minerals by multiphase profile analysis of the complete powder diffraction pattern. Featured are full-matrix least-squares refinement of 14 Rietveld “instrumental parameters” (phase scales, asymmetry, preferred orientations (March model), linewidths, instrument zero, lineshapes and unit cell dimensions), Brindley particle absorption contrast factors and amorphicity corrections. The program uses a crystal structure Databank, which contains information on absorption coefficients, unit cell data and crystal structures for some 90 common minerals. New minerals can be easily added. Structure parameters are also refinable by a profile decomposition method using a program called STRUCT. The sum of the calculated patterns, derived from the crystal structure data, is fitted to the observed pattern by a program called TRACSCAL which runs in singlepass multiphase mode and, after the above corrections have been applied, the weight percentages of the component phases are calculated from the Rietveld scaling factors.The program runs on an IBM-compatible AT computer with 640K of RAM, on an extended memory AT, or a mainframe system. Examples of its use are given with standard mixtures and naturally occurring specimens. On an AT computer with 20MHz clock speed a scaling run, including data input, reading of the pattern, processing of (hkl) files, calculation of the profile and one cycle of least squares fitting takes about 30 seconds for binary standard mixtures and about 2.5 minutes for a 7-phase natural bauxite pattern containing 320 independent (hkl) reflections.

Having synthesised an AlON-bonded ceramic corundum material, Al5O3N3 (15R) polytype coexisting with α-Al2O3 was identified. The sample was prepared from an alumina-rich mixture of Al2O3 and AlN substrates and fired at 1650 °C in a nitrogen atmosphere. Using the X-ray external standard quantitative method, one of the reaction products, α-Al2O3, was quantified. From the remaining substrates the stoichiometric composition of the second phase was calculated. The applied method of crystal structure determination consisted of three stages. In the first stage, the Le Bail method of X-ray pattern decomposition was used for the extraction of Al5O3N3 (15R) diffraction lines from a two-phase diffractogram. The space group and unit-cell dimensions from the isostructural SiAl4O2N4 SiAlON phase, producing the same X-ray pattern, were used as input data. Next, the direct structure determination in real space was applied for initial structural model derivation, which was followed by Rietveld refinement. The solved crystal structure of Al5O3N3 (15R), except the stacking sequence, proved to be closely related to the structure of Al7O3N5 (21R) polytype. The Al5O3N3 (15R) is trigonal with space group R-3m, unit-cell dimensions a0 = 3.0128 Å, c0 = 41.8544 Å, and volume V = 329.00 Å3. The model of Al5O3N3 (15R) polytype structure has positional disordering in one of three (6c) Al sites, which leads to stacking faults in six tetrahedral layers. Every third tetrahedron from LR3 and LR4, LR8 and LR9, LR13 and LR14 layers is rotated by 180°.

A new Nasicon phosphates series [Na3+xCr2−xCox(PO4)3(0⩽x⩽1)] was synthesized by a coprecipitation method and structurally characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The selected compound Na3.5Cr1.5Co0.5(PO4)3 (x=0.5) crystallizes in the R3c space group with the following hexagonal unit-cell dimensions: ah=8.7285(3) Å, ch=21.580(2) Å, V=1423.8(1) Å3, and Z=6. This three-dimensional framework is built of PO4 tetrahedra and Cr∕CoO6 octahedra sharing corners. Na atoms occupy totally M(1) sites and partially M(2) sites.
