AbstractThe prospect of carrying out quantitative crystal structure analyses by direct methods with electron diffraction intensity data from zeolites is evaluated for two related materials: ZSM-5 and ZSM-11. The stacked plate-like arrays of ZSM-5 induce intensity perturbations from secondary electron scattering; nevertheless, the T-site positions can be found by direct methods. Intensity data from smaller ZSM-11 microcrystals are more favorable for

SummaryThe crystal structure of dundasite from Gonnesa (Italy) was solved by a three-dimensional Patterson function computed using intensity data collected photographically by the Weissenberg method, and refined by successive Fourier maps and least-squares cycles to an R index 0·.066 for 505 independent observed reflections.The chemical formula resulting from the structural analysis is PbAl2(CO3)2(OH)4·H2O. The mineral is orthorhombic, space group Pbnm, with a 9·08 Å, b 16·37 Å, c 5·62 Å. The dundasite structure consists of a three-dimensional framework of coordination polyhedra around Pb and Al. Pb ions are coordinated by nine oxygen atoms with distances ranging from 2·53 to 2·91 Å. Al ions show the usual octahedral coordination with average Al-O distance 1.90 Å. C-O mean distances are 1·28 and 1·27 Å for the two non-equivalent CO3 groups. The water molecules are not coordinated by the cations.

Diffuse scattering, observed as intensity distribution between the Bragg peaks, is associated with deviations from the average crystal structure, generally referred to as disorder. In many cases crystal defects are seen as unwanted perturbations of the periodic structure and therefore they are often ignored. Yet, when it comes to the structure analysis of nano-volumes, what electron crystallography is designed for, the significance of defects increases. Twinning and polytypic sequences are other perturbations from ideal crystal structure that are also commonly observed in nanocrystals. Here we present an overview of defect types and review some of the most prominent studies published on the analysis of defective nanocrystalline structures by means of three-dimensional electron diffraction.

AbstractTechniques allowing single-crystal investigations on the precession camera up to the melting point of platinum have been developed. The crystal structure of protoenstatite has been refined from three-dimensional intensity data obtained at 1100°C using a crystal of enstatite from the Norton County, Kansas meteorite. The space group is
