ABSTRACTPolycrystalline black coloured Ba2Cu3PrO7−x is prepared from a mixture of analytical grade BaO2, CuO, Cu metal, and Pr 2O3 (2 : 2 : 1 : 0.5), which are ground, pelletized, and heated in evacuated quartz ampoules at 1273 K for 4 days, and then slowly cooled.X-ray powder diffraction data show that Ba2Cu3PrO7−x is orthorhombic, a = 3.823(2), b = 3.877(2), c= 11.793(5) Å, space group Pmmm (no. 47), Z = 1. The structure of Ba2Cu3PrO7−x is refined from 37 reflections by using a least-squares method up to Rc = 0.044 and Rw = 0.041. Structural data and main interatomic distances are given.

AbstractTrigonal CdSb2O6, prepared as a very crystalline powder by solid state reaction of CdO and Sb2O3, is isostructural with PbSb2O6 Space Group (S.G.) P31m (162), with a = 5.2399(2), c = 4.8045(4) Å, Z = 1 and Dc = 6.57 Mg.m−3. For the refinement of structural parameters from X-ray powder diffraction data two different methods have been employed and compared, both leading to very similar results. The refinements converged to RI = 0.025 using 35 intensities in the incremental optimization technique and to RF = 0.038, RW = 0.033 from 161 reflections in the least-squares refinement.

The crystal structures of three new cristobalite-related sodium magnesiosilicates [Na2MgSiO4, M r = 162.37, orthorhombic, Pna21, a = 10.835 (5), b = 5.279 (12), c = 7.067 (8) Å, D x = 2.668 g cm−3, Z = 4, Cu Kα, λ = 1.5418 Å, μ = 75.96 cm−l, F(000) = 319.87; Na1.74Mg0.79Al0.15Si1.06O4, M r = 157.02, orthorhombic, Pbca, a = 10.487 (7), b = 14.351 (4), c = 5.243 (6) Å, D x = 2.643 g cm−3, Z = 8, Cu Kα, λ = 1.5418 Å, μ = 76.70 cm−l, F(000) = 619.04; Na1.8Mg0.9Si1.1O4, M r = 158.15, tetragonal, P41212, a = 5.330 (6), c = 7.086 (5) Å, D x = 2.609 g cm−3, Z = 2, Cu Kα, λ= 1.5418 Å, μ = 75.44 cm−l, F(000) = 155.94] are determined by Rietveld refinement from X-ray powder diffraction data. Plausible starting models were derived from a modulation wave approach based on the ideal C9 structure type and assuming regular SiO4 and MgO4 tetrahedra.

The need for reliable standards for the characterization of x-ray powder diffraction (XRD) instruments has been well documented. As a result of the round robin study, of various candidate standard materials, described by Fawcett et al., the National Institute of Science and Technology has made the SRM-660, lanthanum hexaboride, XRD peak width standard available. It has been normal practice to use powder sample standards for XRD powder diffraction studies. Powder standards have been justified on the principle that standards should be as much as possible like the unknowns to be analyzed; however, standards must be quite different from the unknowns because their peak profiles must be as narrow as possible for deconvolution from sample peak profiles. It would seem most advantageous to use standards of the highest degree of crystallinity so that they would be useful over the maximum number of applications. Single crystals, with their extremely high crystallinity, offer that advantage.

Improved X-ray powder diffraction data for orthorhombic phosphorus, S.G. C mca (64) obtained in situ at synthesis conditions of 1.2 GPa and 1100 K, are described. Representative, as synthesized, data include 2.552X, 3.3204, 2.5953, 5.1912, 1.6302, for least-squares unit-cell a=3.3182(6) Å, b=10.3744(18) Å and c=4.3227(9) Å. As an illustration of the quality of the data, the structure was solved from powder XRD and Rietveld refined to give a=3.3199(2) Å, b= 10.3678(4) Å, c=4.3154(2)Å, and V=148.535(12) Å3 with the P atom on 8f (1/2, y,z) with y=0.1044(22) and z=0.9179(7).
