The crystal structures of two manganese hexacyanometallates(II), Mn2[Fe(CN)6].8H2O and Mn2[Os(CN)6].8H2O, were refined from X-ray powder diffraction data using the Rietveld method, with the reported structure for Mn2[Ru(CN)6].8H2O used as a structural model. These compounds are isomorphous and crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/n. Their crystallization water is not firmly bound and can be removed without disrupting the M–C≡N–Mn network. In the dehydrated complexes, the outer cation (Mn) remains linked to only three N atoms from CN ligands while the inner cation (Fe,Os) preserves its coordination sphere. The IR, Raman, and Mössbauer spectra for the hydrated and anhydrous forms are explained based on the refined structures.

The crystal structures of five new cristobalite-related sodium aluminosilicates with four different structure types from the system Na2−x Al2−x Si x O4, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 [Na1.95Al1.95Si0.05O4, P41212, a = 5.2997 (6), c = 7.0758 (9) Å; Na1.75Al1.75Si0.25O4, Pbca, a = 10.4221 (11), b = 14.264 (3), c = 5.2110 (5) Å; Na1.65Al1.65Si0.35O4, P41212, a = 10.3872 (7), c = 7.1589 (8) Å; Na1.55Al1.55Si0.45O4, Pbca, a = 10.385 (1), b = 14.198 (3), c = 5.1925 (6) Å; Na1.15Al1.15Si0.85O4, Pb21 a, a = 10.214 (2), b = 14.226 (7), c = 10.308 (1) Å], have been refined by the Rietveld method from X-ray powder diffraction data. Plausible starting models were derived for the x = 0.05, 0.25 and 0.45 structures by analogy. Starting models for the x = 0.35 and 0.85 structures, with previously unreported structure types, were derived from a modulation wave approach based on distortion of the ideal C9 structure type and assuming regular SiO4 and AlO4 tetrahedra.

The crystal structures of divalent metal salts of trifluoromethyl sulfonic acid (`trifluoromethyl sulfonates') M(SO3CF3)2 (M = Mg, Ca, Ba, Zn, Cu) were determined from high-resolution X-ray powder diffraction data. Magnesium, calcium and zinc trifluoromethyl sulfonate crystallize in the rhombohedral space group R\bar3. Barium trifluoromethyl sulfonate crystallizes in the monoclinic space group I2/a(C2/c) and copper trifluoromethyl sulfonate crystallizes in the triclinic group P\bar1. Within the crystal structures the trifluoromethyl sulfonate anions are arranged in double layers with the apolar CF3 groups pointing towards each other. The cations are located next to the SO3 groups. The symmetry relations between the different crystal structures have been analysed.

The structure of the oxyphosphate Ni0.50TiO(PO4) has been determined ab initio from conventional X-ray powder diffraction data by the “heavy atom” method. The cell is monoclinic (space group P21/c, Z=4) with a=7.3830(5) Å, b=7.3226(5) Å, c=7.3444(5) Å, and β=120.233(6)°. Refinement of 46 parameters by the Rietveld method, using 645 reflexions, leads to cRwp=0.152, cRp=0.120, and RB=0.043. The structure of Ni0.50TiO(PO4) can be described as a TiOPO4 framework constituted by chains of tilted corner-sharing TiO6 octahedra running parallel to the c axis, crosslinked by phosphate tetrahedra and in which one-half of octahedral cavities created are occupied by Ni atoms. Ti atoms are displaced from the center of octahedra units in alternating long (2.231) and short (1.703 Å) Ti–O bonds along chains.

The crystal structures of four polymorphs of the pesticide dithianon (5,10-dihydro-5,10-dioxonaphtho[2,3-b]-1,4-dithiine-2,3-dicarbonitrile) have been solved from powder diffraction data and refined using the Rietveld method. Three polymorphs crystallize in non-centrosymmetric space groups. Two polymorphs have Z′ > 1. The structures are assembled via interactions between carbonyl groups of quinoid fragments into layers which further interact only by weak interactions.

AbstractThe crystal structure of monoclinic CuF2 has been refined by the Rietveld method from X-ray powder diffraction data. The structure is monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 3.2973(2), b = 4.5624(3), c = 4.6157(3) Å, β = 83.293(3)°, V = 68.96(2) Å3, with Cu+2 at (0,0,0) and F−1 at (−0.04176(68), 0.29410(35), 0.29410(35)). Final RB = 0.97%, RP = 1.99%, Rwp = 2.32%, RWP(expected) = 1.46%. The structure has a rutile-type arrangement, but with a monoclinic distortion that produces a highly distorted octahedral coordination around the Cu2+ ion with equatorial and apical Cu-F distances of 1.92 and 2.32 Å respectively.

The structure of [Pd(NH3)4]Cr2O7 has been determined ab initio from conventional X-Ray powder diffraction data by the Patterson method. The cell is monoclinic (space group P21/c, Z = 4), with a = 7.771(3) Å, b=11.578(1) Å, c=11.852(4) Å, and β= 105.50(4)°. Refinements of 57 parameters by the Rietveld method, using 852 reflections lead to RB = 0.032, RP = 0.075, and Rwp = 0.092. The structure is built up from PdN4 square planes linked to Cr2O7 groups by hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen atoms could not be located.

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.

The ferroelectric ceramic BaTiO3 was synthesized at 1000 °C for 5 h. The structure of the system under study was refined on the basis of X-ray powder diffraction data using the Rietveld method. The system crystallizes in the space group P4mm(99). The refinement of instrumental and structural parameters led to reliable values for the Rp, Rwp and Rexp.We use the TOPAS software of Bruker AXS to refine this ceramic powders and show its conformation
