The structure of lead-technetium pyrochlore has been refined in space group Fd3¯m with a = 10.36584(2) Å using a combination of synchrotron X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data and confirmed via Electron Diffraction. The oxide is found to be oxygen deficient with a stoichiometry of Pb2Tc2O7-d. Displacive disorder of the Pb cations is evident from the refinements, as has been observed in Bi2Tc2O7-d. X-ray absorption spectroscopic measurements at the Tc K-edge demonstrate the valence of the Tc is greater than 4.0 as anticipated from the refined oxygen stoichiometry. Raman spectroscopy confirms the presence of disorder leading us to conclude that this pyrochlore is the first example of a valence V technetium oxide.

Reaction of Ba3N2 with CeN in the stoichiometric ratio 1:3 at 850 °C under an atmosphere of N2 followed by quenching yields air and moisture sensitive BaCeN2. The product crystallizes isotypically to β-RbScO2 with the anti-TiP type structure in the hexagonal space group P63/mmc with a = 365.06(2), c = 1266.03(3) pm, Z = 2. The structure was determined using X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data. In the structure the Ba2+ cations occupy trigonal prismatic holes with distances Ba-N = 288(1) pm while the Ce atoms are in octahedral positions with distances C e -N = 242.4(8) pm

The crystal and molecular structures of 2-[1-(2-aminoethyl)-2-imidazolidinylidene]-2-nitroacetonitrile [C7H11N5O2; space group P21/n; Z = 4; a = 7.4889 (8), b = 17.273 (2), c = 7.4073 (8) Å, β = 111.937 (6)°], (I), and 2,6-diamino-5-hydroxy-3-nitro-4H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-one monohydrate [C6H6N6O4·H2O; space group P21/n; Z = 4; a = 17.576 (3), b = 10.900 (2), c = 4.6738 (6) Å, β = 92.867 (8)°], (II), have been determined from X-ray, synchrotron and neutron powder diffraction data using various methods. The structures were originally solved from Guinier photographs with a grid search procedure and the program MRIA using a priori information from NMR and mass spectra on the possible geometry of the molecules. Because the conformation of molecule (I) changed during the bond-restrained Rietveld refinement, solvent water was found in (II) and, moreover, as both Guinier patterns were corrupted by texture, high-resolution texture-free synchrotron data were collected at the BM16 beamline, ESRF, to confirm the original results. Using the set of |F| 2 values derived from the synchrotron patterns after full-pattern decomposition procedures, the structures of (I) and (II) were solved by direct methods via SHELXS96, SIRPOW.92 and POWSIM without any preliminary models of the molecules, and by Patterson search methods via DIRDIF96 and PATSEE with the use of rigid fragments from each of the molecules. The neutron patterns allowed (I) and (II) to be solved using the grid search procedure and correct initial models of the molecules including H atoms. The results obtained from powder patterns measured on different devices demonstrate the high level of reproducibility and reliability of various powder software and equipment, with a certain preference for synchrotron facilities.
