This study presents information about crystal imperfections in the main phase of industrial vanadium phosphorous oxide catalysts that are used to catalyze the oxidation of n-butane to maleic anhydride, being an important intermediate in the chemical industry. The mechanism of this reaction is still debated, and the catalytically active and selective surface centers have not yet been identified. The results presented are based on X-ray diffraction data obtained by both laboratory-scale and synchrotron powder diffraction experiments, as well as laboratory-scale single-crystal diffraction experiments. It has been proven that pronounced Bragg reflection broadening effects found in laboratory-scale powder diffraction patterns of industrial VPO catalysts are real and not due to an insufficient 2-θ resolution of the apparatus. In the framework of this work, a powder diffraction full profile fitting strategy was developed using the TOPAS software, which was applied to analyze the X-ray diffraction data of four differently activated industrial catalyst samples, originating from one batch after they had been catalytically tested. It was found that the reflection broadening is mainly caused by an anisotropic crystal size, which results in platelet-shaped crystallites of vanadyl pyrophosphate. A further contribution to the reflex broadening, especially for (111), was found to be a result of stacking faults perpendicular to the a direction in the crystal structure of vanadyl pyrophosphate. These results were used to elaborate on possible correlations between structural proxies and catalytic performance. A direct correlation between the extension of coherently scattering domains in the z direction and the catalyst’s selectivity could be proven, whereas the activity turned out to be dependent on the crystallite shape. Regarding the phase contents, it could be shown that sample catalysts containing a higher amount of β-VO(PO3)2 showed increased catalytic activity.

The Mean

Rietveld refinement using synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction data of the ranciéite, Ca0.19K0.01(Mn4+0.91◻0.09)O2⋅0.63H2O, crystal structure reveals significant differences from that reported previously. The interlayer H2O molecules occupy sites halfway between the Mn,O octahedral sheets. The Mn sites in the octahedral sheets have 10% vacancies, and the mean Mn–O distance indicates that all Mn is tetravalent (Mn4+). The interlayer Ca cations are located above and below the Mn vacancies and are octahedrally coordinated to three O2 atoms in the octahedral sheet and three H2O molecules in the interlayer.

The structures of the layered intergrowth phases SbIIISb^{\rm V}_xAl-xTiO6 (x \simeq 0, A = Ta, Nb) have been refined by the Rietveld method, using X-ray diffraction data obtained using a synchrotron source. The starting models for these structures were derived from those of Sb^{\rm III}_3Sb^{\rm V}_xA 3−xTiO14 (x = 1.26, A = Ta and x = 0.89, A = Nb), previously solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. There were no significant differences between the derived models and the final structures, validating the approach used to obtain the models and confirming that the n = 1 and n = 3 members of the family, Sb^{\rm III}_nSb^{\rm V}_xA n−xTiO4n+2 are part of a structurally homologous series.

Melt Spinning Technique

In the present work X-ray studies were performed on annealed Fe78Nb2B20 amorphous alloy prepared by melt-spinning technique. All the samples were annealed in vacuum for 1 hour at temperatures up to 800°C. For the studied alloy -Fe and Fe2B are the stable, crystalline phases. The -Fe crystallized as the first crystalline phase in the sample annealed at 350°C. On the other hand, metastable Fe3B phase appeared to be stable during annealing in 425-800°C temperature range. The best fitting of the experimental X-ray data to as jet available ICDD files was obtained for Ni3P type structure (39-1315 – S.G.: I (82)). New, experimental powder diffraction data for metastable Fe3B phase prepared according to ICDD standards were elaborated for the sample annealed at 600°C. For this sample the best agreement between the calculated values of lattice constants and positions of experimental diffraction lines was obtained. The X-ray data were collected using X-Pert Philips diffractometer equipped with curved graphite monochromator on diffracted beam. The Treor program was applied for the analysis of X-ray diffraction data.

Hydrochloride Monohydrate

Bendamustine hydrochloride monohydrate (marketed as Treanda®) is a nitrogen mustard purine analog alkylator used in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Commercial bendamustine hydrochloride monohydrate crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c (14), with a = 4.71348(4) Å, b = 47.5325(3) Å, c = 8.97458 (5) Å, β = 96.6515(8)°, V = 1997.161(23) Å3, and Z = 4. A reduced cell search in the Cambridge Structural Database yielded a previously reported crystal structure (Allen, 2002), which did not include hydrogens (Reck, 2006). In this work, the sample was ordered from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, and analyzed as received. The room-temperature crystal structure was refined using synchrotron (λ = 0.413896 Å) powder diffraction data, density functional theory (DFT), and Rietveld refinement techniques. Hydrogen positions were included as part of the structure, and recalculated during the refinement. The diffraction data were collected on beamline BM-11 at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory. Figure 1 shows the powder X-ray diffraction pattern of the compound. The pattern is included in the Powder Diffraction File as entry 00-064-1508.
