Crystal Structure Determination of 5,6-Dibromoacenaphthene from X-ray Powder Diffraction Data

The new crystal structure of 5,6-dibromoacenaphthene has been successfully determined from X-ray powder diffraction data with monoclinic crystals, P21/n, a = 7.88(1) Å, b = 11.64(1) Å, c = 11.62(1) Å, β =107.09(9)°, V = 1019.9(1) Å and Z = 4. Individual reflection intensities were extracted by means of Le Bail’s method. The molecular structure of 1 was solved by direct methods and refined using...

Structure determination from powder diffraction data.

Advances made over the past decade in structure determination from powder diffraction data are reviewed with particular emphasis on algorithmic developments and the successes and limitations of the technique. While global optimization methods have been successful in the solution of molecular crystal structures, new methods are required to make the solution of inorganic crystal structures more r...

Crystal Structure of Non-molecular Compounds from Powder Diffraction

Methods of structure determination from powder diffraction of non-molecular compounds (inorganics, extended solids, intermetallic compounds, etc.) are reviewed. They work either in reciprocal space or in direct space. Those working in reciprocal space use algorithms known from single crystal works (direct methods and Patterson synthesis) and need decomposition of powder patterns to individual r...
