STRUCTURE AND PHASE COMPOSITION OF COATING ON EP718 ALLOY AFTER HOT-DIP ALUMINIZING

The results of studies of the structure, chemical and phase composition of the aluminide coating formed on the surface of EP718 alloy after its hot-dip aluminizing are presented. It is shown that the inner layer of the coating consists of a continuous layer of a solid solution based on chromium aluminide CrAl with a monoclinic lattice, in which some of the Cr atoms are replaced by atoms of elements from the EP718 alloy, and the outer layer, which has a pronounced heterogeneous structure, is an aluminum matrix with inclusions of CrAl aluminide. with a lower aluminum content.

Crystal structure of donepezil hydrochloride form III, C24H29NO3⋅HCl

The crystal structure of donepezil hydrochloride, form III, has been solved with FOX using laboratory powder diffraction data previously submitted to and published in the Powder Diffraction File. Rietveld refinement with GSAS yielded monoclinic lattice parameters of a = 14.3662(9) Å, b = 11.8384(6) Å, c = 13.5572(7) Å, and β = 107.7560(26)° (C24H30ClNO3, Z = 4, space group P21/c). The Rietveld-refined structure was compared to a density functional theory (DFT)-optimized structure, and the structures exhibit excellent agreement. Layers of donepezil molecules parallel to the (101) planes are maintained by columns of chloride anions along the b-axis, where each chloride anion hydrogen bonds to three donepezil molecules each.

Hydrothermal synthesis, crystal and electronic structure of a new hydrated borate CsKB4O5(OH)4·2H2O

Hydrothermal method successfully produced a new cesium-metal borate (CsKB4O5(OH)4·2H2O). The crystals are grown in the P21/c space group with a monoclinic lattice, a = 10.7298 (13) Å, b = 8.1521 (11) Å, c = 13.2690 (15) Å, β = 108.325 (9)°, and Z = 4. The structure is composed of [B4O5(OH)4]2- groups connected to 8-coordinated potassium, 12-coordinated cesium ions, and water molecules forming the final 3D framework. FTIR and Raman spectra identified the type and nature of the borate groups within the structure. UV-Vis- NIR diffuse reflection spectra have studied the transmission property, whereas TG-DSC analyses revealed the thermal stability of the crystals. In addition, theoretical calculations have been executed to understand the density of states and band structure.

The crystal structure of MoO2(O2)(H2O)·H2O

The crystal structure of MoO2(O2)(H2O)·H2O has been solved using parallel tempering with the FOX software package and refined using synchrotron powder diffraction data obtained from beamline 08B1-1 at the Canadian Light Source. Rietveld refinement, performed with the software package GSAS, yielded monoclinic lattice parameters of a = 17.3355(5) Å, b = 3.83342(10) Å, c = 6.55760(18) Å, and β = 91.2114(27)° (Z = 4, space group I2/m). The structure is composed of double zigzag molybdate chains running parallel to the b-axis. The Rietveld refined structure was compared with density functional theory (DFT) calculations performed with CRYSTAL14, and shows comparable agreement with two DFT optimized structures of similar energy, which differ by the location of the molybdate coordinated water molecule. The true structure is likely a disordered combination of the two DFT optimized structures.

Monoclinic sphere packings. II. Trivariant lattice complexes with mirror symmetry

All homogeneous sphere packings were derived that refer to the three trivariant monoclinic lattice complexes with mirror symmetry. In total, 29 types of sphere packings have been found. Only for three types is the maximal inherent symmetry of their sphere packings monoclinic whereas the inherent symmetry is orthorhombic for 13 types, tetragonal for eight types, hexagonal for four types and cubic for one type.

The crystal structure of MoO2(O2)H2O

The crystal structure of MoO2(O2)H2O has been solved by analogy with the WO2(O2)H2O structure and refined with synchrotron powder diffraction data obtained from beamline 08B1-1 at the Canadian Light Source. Rietveld refinement, performed with the software package GSAS, yielded monoclinic lattice parameters of a = 12.0417(4) Å, b = 3.87003(14) Å, c = 7.38390(24) Å, and β = 78.0843(11)° (Z = 4, space group P21/n). The structure is composed of double zigzag molybdate chains running parallel to the b-axis. The Rietveld refined structure was compared with density functional theory (DFT) calculations performed with CRYSTAL14, and show strong agreement with the DFT optimized structure.
