Several benzothiophene-based compounds, including 1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylic acid, exhibit a wide variety of pharmacological activities. They have been extensively used to treat various types of diseases with high therapeutic effectiveness. In this contribution, the crystal structure of a new polymorph of 1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (BTCA) was determined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data with DASH, refined by the Rietveld method with TOPAS-Academic, and optimized using DFT-D calculations. The new form of 1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylic acid crystallizes in space group C2/c (No. 15) with a = 14.635(4), b = 5.8543(9), c = 19.347(3) Å, β = 103.95(1)°, V = 1608.8(6) Å3, and Z = 8. The structure is a complex 3D arrangement which can be described in terms of hydrogen-bonded dimers of BTCA molecules, joined by the acid–acid homosynthon, which interact through C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds to produce tapes further connected through head-to-tail π⋯π and edge-to-face C–H⋯π interactions. A comparison with a previously reported triclinic polymorph and with the related 1-benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid (BFCA) is also presented.

In the present work, LaNi0.5Ti0.45Co0.05O3, LaNi0.45Co0.05Ti0.5O3, and LaNi0.5Ti0.5O3 perovskites were synthesized by the modified Pechini method. These materials were characterized using X-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction coupled to the Rietveld method. The crystal structure of these materials is orthorhombic, with space group Pbnm (No 62). The unit-cell parameters are a = 5.535(5) Å, b = 5.527(3) Å, c = 7.819(7) Å, V = 239.2(3) Å3, for the LaNi0.5Ti0.45Co0.05O3, a = 5.538(6) Å, b = 5.528(4) Å, c = 7.825(10) Å, V = 239.5(4) Å3, for the LaNi0.45Co0.05Ti0.5O3, and a = 5.540(2) Å, b = 5.5334(15) Å, c = 7.834(3) Å, V = 240.2(1) Å3, for the LaNi0.5Ti0.5O3.

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 asymmetric unit of the title compound, C17H18O3, comprises three independent molecules with similar geometries. In each molecule, the carbonyl group is twisted away from the napthalene ring system, making dihedral angles of 1.0 (2), 1.05 (19)° and 1.5 (2)°. The butene group in all three molecules are disordered over two sets of sites, with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.664 (6):0.336 (6). In the crystal, molecules are oriented with respect to their carbonyl groups, forming head-to-head dimersviaO—H...O hydrogen bonds. Adjacent dimers are further interconnected by C—H...O hydrogen bonds into chains along thea-axis direction. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak C—H...π interactions.

AbstractThe crystal structure of sarmientite, Fe23+ (AsO4)(SO4)(OH)·5H2O, from the type locality (Santa Elena mine, San Juan Province, Argentina), was solved and refined from in-house powder diffraction data (CuKα1,2 radiation). It is monoclinic, space group P21/n, with unit-cell dimensions a = 6.5298(1), b = 18.5228(4), c = 9.6344(3) Å, β = 97.444(2)º, V = 1155.5(5) Å3, and Z = 4. The structure model was derived from cluster-based Patterson-function direct methods and refined by means of the Rietveld method to Rwp = 0.0733 (X2 = 2.20). The structure consists of pairs of octahedral-tetrahedral (Fe−As) chains at (y,z) = (0,0) and (½,½), running along a. There are two symmetry-independent octahedral Fe sites. The Fe1 octahedra share two corners with the neighbouring arsenate groups. Both individual chains are related by a symmetry centre and joined by two symmetry-related Fe2 octahedra. Each Fe2 octahedron shares three corners with double-chain polyhedra (O3, O4 with arsenate groups; the O8 hydroxyl group with the Fe1 octahedron) and one corner (O11) with the monodentate sulfate group. The coordination of the Fe2 octahedron is completed by two H2O molecules (O9 and O10). There is also a complex network of H bonds that connects polyhedra within and among chains. Raman and infrared spectra show that (SO4)2− tetrahedra are strongly distorted.

Indexed X-ray powder diffraction data are reported for two organic salts with carbon rings having two quaternary nitrogens: diazonia-6,9 dispiro [5.2.5.2] hexadecane and diazonia-6,9 dispiro [5.2.5.3] heptadecane diiodides. For these compounds, which give solid electrolytes when associated with AgI, powder diffraction diagrams calculated by the Rietveld method from single crystal structure determinations are presented and are compared to the experimental diffraction data.

The crystal structure of the mullite in a commercial material was refined by the Rietveld method using laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. In this one refinement, most of the common challenges—including variable stoichiometry (partially occupied sites), multiple impurity phases, amorphous material, constraints, restraints, correlation, anisotropic profiles, microabsorption, and contamination during grinding—are encountered and the thought processes during the refinement are described step-by-step. Interpretation of the refinements includes bulk chemical analysis, chemical composition of the mullite, assessment of the geometry, bond valence sums, the displacement coefficients, crystallite size and microstrain, comparison to similar structures to assess chemical reasonableness, and the nature of the amorphous phase.

The crystal structure of a new cubic cristobalite-related sodium aluminosilicate Na1.45Al1.45Si0.55O4 [P213, a = 14.553 (1) Å] has been modelled using a modulation wave approach and the model tested against X-ray powder diffraction data using the Rietveld method. Owing to there being 64 independent positional parameters and eight independent Na sites, refinement of the tetrahedral framework atom positions and Na occupancies was not possible. The framework was modelled successfully in terms of q 1 = 1\over 4〈020〉_p^*-type (p = parent) modulation waves with the requirement that the MO4 (M = Al0.725Si0.275) tetrahedra be as close to regular as possible. Na/vacancy ordering was modelled successfully in terms of q 2 = 1\over 4〈220〉_p^* modulation waves. Only the Na-atom positions were refined. The significance of this unique modulated cubic cristobalite-related structure and the possible insight it provides to understanding β-cristobalite are discussed.
