The crystal structure of Bi2Zn2/3Nb4/3O7 was determined using a combination of electron, x-ray, and neutron powder diffraction. The compound crystallizes with a monoclinic zirconolite-like structure [C2/c (No.15) space group, a = 13.1037(9) Å, b = 7.6735(3) Å, c = 12.1584(6) Å, β = 101.318(5)°]. According to structural refinement using neutron diffraction data, Nb preferentially occupies six-fold coordinated sites in octahedral sheets parallel to the (001) planes, while Zn is statistically distributed between two half-occupied (5 + 1)-fold coordinated sites near the centers of six-membered rings of [Nb(Zn)O6] octahedra. The Nb/Zn cation layers alternate along the c-axis with Bi-layers, in which Bi cations occupy both eight- and seven-fold coordinated sites. The eight-fold coordinated Bi atoms exhibited strongly anisotropic thermal displacements with an abnormally large component directed approximately along the c-axis (normal to the octahedral layers).

H atoms play a central role in enzymatic mechanisms, but H-atom positions cannot generally be determined by X-ray crystallography. Neutron crystallography, on the other hand, can be used to determine H-atom positions but it is experimentally very challenging. Yeast inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) is an essential enzyme that has been studied extensively by X-ray crystallography, yet the details of the catalytic mechanism remain incompletely understood. The temperature instability of PPase crystals has in the past prevented the collection of a neutron diffraction data set. This paper reports how the crystal growth has been optimized in temperature-controlled conditions. To stabilize the crystals during neutron data collection a Peltier cooling device that minimizes the temperature gradient along the capillary has been developed. This device allowed the collection of a full neutron diffraction data set.
