The crystal structure Of Y2P4O13 has been determined. from X-ray powder
   diffraction data. Y2P4O13 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group
   C222(1) (No. 20) with a = 17.2817(7) Angstrom, b = 6.9823(4) Angstrom,

   refined by FULLPROF package. The final R-Bragg value was 9.1%. The
   tetraphosphate anion has the point group 2 symmetry. The yttrium atom
   is seven-coordinated forming strongly distorted octahedron with one
   bifurcated vertex. There are infinite chains of oxygen-bridged ittrium
   atoms miming parallel to the b axis and linked together by the
   tetraphosphate anions with formation of three-dimensional network.

Hydrothermal synthesis, structures, and properties: Indium hydrogen
   phosphates (MIn)-In-I(HPO4)(2) (M-I = K, Rb, and NH4)
RUSSIAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY 47, 2002, 1773-1789.
Mixed hydrogen phosphates KIn(HPO4)(2) (I), beta(2)-RbIn(HPO4)(2) (II),
   and (NH4)In(HPO4)(2) (III) were prepared in the In2O3-MH2PO4-H3PO4-HF,
   In2O3-M2CO3-H3PO4-HF (where M = K or Rb), and In2O3(NH4)Cl-H3PO4
   systems under hydrothermal conditions (200degreesC, 20 atm, 96 h). The
   phosphates were characterized by IR and Raman spectroscopy, thermal
   analysis, and electron probe microanalysis. The structure of compound
   II was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The
   crystal structures of compounds I and III were determined by the
   Rietveld method. All compounds crystallized in the monoclinic system
   (space group P2(1)/c, Z= 4); a = 9.6232(1) Angstrom, b = 8.2573(1)
   Angstrom, c = 9.4571(1) Angstrom, beta = 115.72(1)degrees, R-p =
   0.0465, R-wp = 0.0619 for I; a = 9.705(2) Angstrom, b = 8.367(2)
   Angstrom, c = 9.528(2) Angstrom, beta = 116.60(3)degrees, R-1 = 0.0503,
   wR(2) = 0.1464 for II; a = 9.6651(1) Angstrom, b = 8.2763(1) Angstrom,
   c = 9.5964(1) Angstrom, beta = 116.146(1)degrees, R-p = 0.0380, R-wp =
   0.0553 for III. The structures of indium hydrogen phosphates can be
   described as a mixed framework {In[HPO4](2)}(3infinity)(-) of octahedra
   and tetrahedra. Large cavities in the framework are occupied by
   monovalent cations. Second-harmonic-generation measurements
   demonstrated that the crystal structures of compounds I-III have a
   center of symmetry.

First anhydrous gold perchlorato complex: ClO2Au(CIO4)(4). Synthesis
   and molecular and crystal structure analysis
INORGANIC CHEMISTRY 41, 2002, 4173-4178.
Chlorine trioxide, Cl2O6, reacts with Au metal, AuCl3, or HAuCl4.nH(2)O
   to yield the well-defined chloryl salt, ClO2.Au(ClO4)(4). The crystal
   and molecular structure of ClO2Au(CIO4)(4) was solved by a Rietveld
   analysis of powder X-ray diffraction data. The salt crystallizes in a
   monoclinic cell, space group C2/c, with cell parameters a = 15.074(5),
   b = 5.2944(2), and c = 22.2020(2) Angstrom and beta = 128.325(2). The
   structure displays discrete ClO2+ ions lying in channels formed by
   Au(CIO4)(4)(-) stacks. Au is located in a distorted square planar
   environment: Au-O = 1.87 and 2.06 Angstrom. [ClO4] groups are
   monodentate with ClOb = 1.53 and ClOt = 1.39 Angstrom (mean distances;
   O-b, oxygen bonded to Au; O-t, free terminal oxygen). A full
   vibrational study of the Au(ClO4)(4)(-) anion is supported by DFT
   calculations.

Synthesis and structure of the new ammonium indium phosphate
   (NH4)In(OH)PO4
JOURNAL OF SOLID STATE CHEMISTRY 166, 2002, 362-368.
A new ammonium indium phosphate (NH4)In(OH)PO4 was prepared by
   hydrothermal reaction in the In2O3-NH4H2PO4-NH3/OH system (T =
   200degreesC, autogenous pressure, 7 days). The formula (NH4)In(OH)PO4
   was determined on the basis of chemical and thermal analysis (TG/DSC),
   X-ray powder diffraction and IR-spectroscopy. (NH4)In(OH)PO4
   crystallizes in the tetragonal system with space group P4(3)2(1)2 (No.
   96), a - 9.4232(1) Angstrom, 11. 1 766(1) Angstrom, V = 992.45(2)
   Angstrom(3); Z= 8. The crystal structure was refined by the Rietveld
   method (R-w = 6.35%, R-p = 5.10%). The second-harmonic generation study
   confirmed that structure of (NH4)In(OH)PO4 does not have a center of
   symmetry. The cis-InO4(OH)(2) octahedra form helical chains, parallel
   to the c-axis. The In-O-In bonds are nearly equidistant. The chains are
   interconnected by phosphate tetrahedra and create tunnels containing
   the NH4+ ions along the c-axis. (NH4)In(OH)PO4 is isostructural with
   RbIn(OH)PO4.

Synthesis of a new molecular sieve using DABCO-based
   structure-directing agent
CATALYSIS TODAY 74, 2002, 271-279.
A new 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO)-based quaternary ammonium
   compound is designed, synthesized, and used as structure-directing
   agent (SDA) for molecular sieve synthesis. Several
   1,1'-alkylenedi(4-aza-1-azonia-2,5-dimethyl-bicyclo [2.2.2] octane)
   type SDAs are used in all-silica synthesis mixtures. Among the SDAs
   tested, the use of 1, 1'-butylenedi-(4-aza-1-azonia-2,5
   5-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.2]octane) gives a new phase (GUS-1), whereas the
   use of other SDAs gives zeolite beta ((*)BEA), ZSM-12 (MTW), and ZSM-5
   (MR). The GUS-1 is indexed in the orthorhombic crystal class with
   refined lattice constants a = 16.4206(4) Angstrom, b = 20.0540(4)
   Angstrom and c = 5.0464(1) Angstrom. The crystalline architecture of
   GUS-1 shows the same [001] projection of the framework as that of
   mordenite (MOR), and is characterized by a one-dimensional 12-membered
   ring channel system that is closely related to the channels of ZSM-12.
   The GUS-1 is stable to heat upon calcination at 700 degreesC in air.
   The calcined material exhibits adsorption capacity that is comparable
   to typical large-pore one-dimensional microporous silicates. The
   behavior of the SDA during synthesis is also discussed.

Hydrothermal synthesis of lithium zinc phosphates: Structural
   investigation of twinned alpha-Li4Zn(PO4)(2) and a high temperature
   polymorph beta-Li4Zn(PO4)(2)
JOURNAL OF SOLID STATE CHEMISTRY 166, 2002, 341-351.
The system LiOH:Zn(NO3)(2):H3PO4:H2O was investigated using
   hydrothermal synthesis techniques in the temperature range 20degreesC <
   T < 602degreesC and pressure range, 1 < p < 2.8 kbar, and the
   crystallization fields of some lithium zinc orthophosphates are
   reported. Small crystals of a twinned lithium zinc phosphate,
   alpha-Li(4)ZH(PO4)(2) were prepared and a structural investigation was
   performed using synchrotron X-ray diffraction: monoclinic, space group
   P2(1) /a, a = 8.096(2) Angstrom, b = 10.242(2) Angstrom, c = 8.106(2)
   Angstrom, beta = 104.73(3)degrees, V = 650.1(2) Angstrom(3) and Z = 4.
   The refinement gave R(F) = 0.042 and wR(F-2) = 0.068 based on 968
   independent reflections and 616 observed, F-o(2) > 3sigma(F-o(2))
   (lambda = 0.9346(1) Angstrom). The cations are tetrahedrally
   coordinated to oxygen, and the structure can be viewed as layers of
   regular ZnO4 and PO4 tetrahedra interconnected by more distorted LiO4
   tetrahedra. Thermal investigation using in situ powder X-ray
   diffraction in the temperature range 20degreesC < T < 900degreesC was
   performed. The reversible phase transition alpha --> Li4Zn(PO4)(2) was
   observed in agreement with previous investigations. A powder pattern
   measured at T = 900degreesC was indexed with a triclinic unit cell:
   space group, P (1) over bar, a = 5.173(3) Angstrom, b = 7.97(1)
   Angstrom, c = 9.92(1) Angstrom, alpha = 80.9(1)degrees, beta =
   126.8(1)degrees and gamma = 106.0(1)degrees, V = 319.8(7) Angstrom(3)
   and Z = 2. The linear thermal expansion of alpha- and
   beta-Li4Zn(PO4)(2) are extracted from powder diffraction data in the
   temperature range RT to 900degreesC.

Coordination polymers constructed from paddle-wheel building units
JOURNAL OF SOLID STATE CHEMISTRY 166, 2002, 213-218.
The two structurally related coordination polymers [Cu(ndc)
   (pyridine)], CPO-2-Cu, and [Zn(ndc)(3,4-lutidine)], CPO-2-Zn, were
   obtained by hydrothermal reactions between 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic
   acid (ndc), pyridine and copper(II) nitrate (CPO-2-Cu) and ndc,
   3,4-lutidine and zinc(II) nitrate (CPO-2-Zn), respectively. The
   compounds are based on the binuclear paddle-wheel building unit. In
   both compounds these building units are connected into 2D sheets by
   naphthalene rings. In the third dimension there are weaker interactions
   involving the axial ligands pyridine and 3,4-lutidine. The sheets are
   stacked so that large ID channels are formed into which the axial
   ligands protrude. The crystal structure of CPO-2-Cu was solved from
   synchrotron powder X-ray data, while the crystal structure of CPO-2-Zn
   was solved from conventional single-crystal X-ray data. Crystal data
   for CPO-2-Cu: Monoclinic space group C2/m (No. 12), a = 10.2252(2), b =
   19.0915(4), c = 8.0521(2)Angstrom, beta = 98.824(1)degrees, V =

   88.470(6)degrees, V = 828.2(2)Angstrom(3) and Z = 2. The thermal
   properties of both compounds were investigated as well as the magnetic
   properties of CPO-2-Cu.

Polymorphism and phase transitions in bis(glycinato) copper(II). A
   powder diffraction study
AUSTRALIAN JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY 55, 2002, 331-341.
Powder diffraction methods have been used to establish the structures
   of four known polymorphs of bis(glycinato)copper(II). The two
   cis-modifications are orthorhombic, and the two trans-complexes are
   monoclinic. Refinements of the structures, including the location of
   the hydrogen/deuterium atoms have been achieved utilizing Rietveld
   analysis of powder data. The cis-monohydrate complex crystallizes in
   the space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with lattice parameters a 10.8053(3), b
   5.2101(1), and c 13.4983(4) Angstrom. Upon dehydration, contraction
   along the a- and c- axes and elongation of the b-axis is observed. The
   anhydrous cis-complex also crystallizes in the space group P212121 with
   lattice parameters a 10.0673(7), b 5.3152(4), and c 13.212(1) Angstrom.
   The trans-hydrated complex crystallizes in the space group I2/a with
   lattice parameters a 14.8218(3), b 5.2321(1), and c 9.6408(2) Angstrom,
   and beta 87.243(1)degrees. Dehydration of the complex affords the
   anhydrous modification which crystallizes in the space group P2(1)/c
   with lattice parameters a 7.0831(6), b 5.1459(4), and c 9.4431(9)
   Angstrom, and beta 107.506(4)degrees. In all four modifications a
   network of hydrogen bonds stabilizes the complex. This study
   illustrates the current capabilities of powder diffraction techniques.

ZEITSCHRIFT FUR ANORGANISCHE UND ALLGEMEINE CHEMIE 628, 2002, 1465-1471.
The high-pressure phase gamma-P3N5 was synthesized at a pressure of I I
   GPa and a temperature of 1500 degreesC in a multianvil apparatus.
   Partially crystalline P3N5 has been used as a starting material. The
   crystal structure was solved by direct methods on the basis of X-ray

   (Imm2, a = 1287.21(4), b = 261.312(6), c 440.03(2) pm, Z = 2, R-p =
   0.073, wR(p) = 0.094, R-F = 0.048). gamma-phosphorus nitride
   crystallizes in a three-dimensional network structure built up from
   corner sharing PN4 tetrahedra and trans-edge sharing distorted PN5
   square pyramids. In the P-31-MAS-NMR spectrum two sharp isotropic
   resonances with an intensity ratio of I : 2.02(5) are observed at
   -11.95(3) and -101.72(7) ppm, respectively The IR-spectroscopic and
   thermal properties of gamma-P3N5 are described. Measurement of the
   Vickers hardness resulted in a value of 9.7(21) GPa for sintered
   polycrystalline gamma-P3N5, which is significantly higher than that for
   the partially crystalline normal pressure modification Of P3N5 (5.1(7)
   GPa).

Framework characterization of mesostructured carbon CMK-1 by X-ray

JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY B 106, 2002, 12198-12202.
The model of structure and structural transformation of the
   mesostructured carbon material CMK-1 was established by X-ray powder
   diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
   investigations. The investigations showed that the enantiomeric carbon
   subframeworks formed within the pores of the MCM48 mesoporous template
   used for the material synthesis displaced with respect to one another
   without significant distortions after the dissolution of the silica
   wall of the template. The model proposed agrees well with TEM images
   observed. The XRD structural modeling of CMK- I done using the
   continuous density function technique allowed perfect fit of the
   calculated to the experimental powder diffraction pattern and provided
   geometric characteristics of the material texture. The structural
   characteristics obtained agreed fairly well with TEM analysis and with
   previously reported adsorption data.

   seem to be attributed to the material interconnecting carbon nanorods
   in the CMK-3 mesostructure. These carbon 'bridges' are supposed to be

The synthesis and crystal structure of doped uranium brannerite phases
   U1-xMxTi2O6 (M=Ca2+, La3+, and Gd3+)
JOURNAL OF SOLID STATE CHEMISTRY 165, 2002, 261-265.
Doped uranium brannerite phases (U1-xMxTi2O6; M = Ca2+, La3+ and Gd3+;
   x < 0.5) were synthesized at 1400degreesC; the range of solid solution
   was found to vary depending on whether sintering took place in argon or
   air. Powder X-ray diffraction revealed that these phases crystallized
   to form monoclinic (C2/m) structures. In particular, the crystal
   structures of U0.74Ca0.26Ti2O6 (1) (a = 9.8008(2); b = 3.7276(1); c =
   6.8745(1); beta = 118.38(1); V = 220.97(1); Z = 2; R-P = 7.3%; R-B =
   4.6%) and U0.55La0.45Ti2O6 (2) (a = 9.8002(7); b = 3.7510(3); c =
   6.9990(5); beta = 118.37(4); V = 226.40(3); Z = 2; R-P = 4.5%; R-B =
   2.9%) were refined from powder neutron diffraction data, revealing
   planes of corner and edge-sharing TiO6 octahedra separated by 8-fold
   coordinate U/M atoms. The oxygen sites within these structures were
   found to be fully occupied, confirming that the doping of lower valence
   M atoms occurs in conjunction with the oxidation of U(IV) to U(V).

Structure and phase transitions of SnP2O7
JOURNAL OF SOLID STATE CHEMISTRY 166, 2002, 42-48.
SnP2O7 is a member of the ZrP2O7 family of materials, several of which
   show unusual thermal expansion behavior over certain temperature ranges
   and which show a number of displacive phase transitions on cooling from
   high temperature. Here we describe the structural properties of SnP2O7
   from 100 to 1243K as determined by X-ray and neutron powder
   diffraction. These studies reveal that SnP2O7 shows two phase
   transitions in this temperature range. At room temperature the material
   has a pseudo-cubic 3 X 3 X 3 superstructure. Electron diffraction
   studies show that the symmetry of this structure is P2(1)3 or lower. On
   warming to similar to 560 K it undergoes a phase transition to a
   structure in which the subcell reflections show a triclinic distortion;
   above 830 K the subcell reflections show a rhombohedral distortion.
   Significant hysteresis in cell parameters is observed between heating
   and cooling. The structure of SnP2O7 is discussed with references to
   other members of the AM(2)O(7) family of materials.

ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION B-STRUCTURAL SCIENCE 58, 2002, 613-621.
A new phase of dicalcium silicate (Ca2SiO4) was formed by heating
   alpha-dicalcium silicate hydrate [alpha-Ca-2 (SiO4H)OH = alpha-C-2 SH]
   at temperatures of similar to663-763 K, and it was transformed into
   alpha'(L)-Ca2SiO4 (= alpha'(L)-C2S) above similar to1193 K. The crystal
   structure of the new phase (hereafter called x-C2S) has been determined
   by simulated annealing and refined by the Rietveld method using
   synchrotron radiation powder diffraction data. The structure consists
   of isolated SiO4 tetrahedra and a three-dimensional CaOn polyhedral
   network, forming a new structural type of dicalcium silicate. A
   structural change from alpha-C2SH to x-C2S is compelled by large
   displacements of SiO4 tetrahedra, accompanied by dehydration, in the
   direction perpendicular to the two-dimensional Ca(O,OH)(n) polyhedral
   network in alpha-C2SH. With increasing temperature, sizes of CaOn
   polyhedra in x-C2S become too large to confine Ca atoms at the sixfold
   to eightfold coordination sites. Then the structure of alpha-C2S is
   transformed into alpha'(L)-C2S, having eightfold to tenfold
   coordination sites for the Ca atoms.

Recent advances in the opportunities for solving molecular crystal
   structures directly from powder diffraction data
MOLECULAR CRYSTALS AND LIQUID CRYSTALS 389, 2002, 123-129.
For those solids that can be prepared only as microcrystalline powders,
   and are not suitable for investigation by single crystal diffraction
   methods, it is necessary to carry out structure determination using
   powder diffraction data. Here we highlight recent developments in the
   opportunities for solving molecular crystal structures from powder
   diffraction data, focusing on a direct-space strategy in which a
   hypersurface based on the powder profile R-factor R-wp is searched
   using a Genetic Algorithm. Recent fundamental developments are
   described, and the application of the method is illustrated by the
   structure determination of two oligopeptide materials.

Use of the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database as a problem solving
   tool
ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION B-STRUCTURAL SCIENCE 58, 2002, 370-379.
The information in the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) can
   be used to determine the structures of new compounds by analogy; this
   database is thus a useful tool for practical problem solving. A model
   for the structure of (NH4)Fe(CO3)(OH)(2) [Cmcm, a = 6.6154 (6), b =
   12.0639 (10), c = 6.0263 (5) Angstrom, Z = 4] was found by searching
   the ICSD for compounds with C-centered orthorhombic cells and
   containing C, H, N and O.
   [Al(H2O)(6)](2)[Al(H2O)(5)(SO4)](2)-(H3O)(2)(SO4)(5) [P (1) over bar, a
   = 12.5881 (5), b = 13.0726 (5), c = 7.3354 (2) Angstrom, alpha =
   108.162 (2), beta = 70.536 (2), gamma = 112.658 (2)degrees, Z = 1] is
   isostructural to a Cr compound of the same stoichiometry, which was
   located by searching on the formula type ANX = A4B7X52. Suitable models
   for MgCl2(H2O)(4) [P2(1)/c, a = 5.9001 (9), b = 7.2709 (7), c = 8.4199
   (7) Angstrom, beta = 111.007 (15)degrees, Z = 2], MgCl2(H2O)(2) [C2/m,
   a = 7.3886 (29), b = 8.5498 (24), c = 3.6488 (17) Angstrom, beta =
   98.96 (3)degrees, Z = 2], and MgCl2(H2O) [Pnma, a = 8.899 (7), b =
   3.6339 (20), c = 11.398 (8) Angstrom, Z = 4] were located by combining
   searches on chemistry and formula type. Quantum-chemical calculations
   were performed on all five structures to locate the H-atom positions
   and to obtain quantitative understanding of the hydrogen bonding
   important in all the structures.

ACTA-CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA-SECTION-A. JUL 2002; 58 Part 4 : 308-315
Energy-filtered Debye-Scherrer electron powder data have been successfully employed to determine the structure of nanocrystalline anatase (TiO2). The performed structure analysis includes determining the unit cell, space group, solving the structure via direct methods from extracted intensities and refining the structure using the Rietveld technique. The result of the present study shows that the methods originally developed for determining structures from X-ray powder data work equally well with data from electron powder diffraction.
