Crystal structure of aluminum molybdate, Al/sub 2/(MoO/sub 4/)/sub 3/, determined by time-of-flight powder neutron diffraction

Journal Article · · J. Solid State Chem.; (United States)

The room temperature crystal structure of aluminum molybdate, Al/sub 2/(MoO/sub 4/)/sub 3/, was refined using time-of-flight powder neutron diffraction data. It is monoclinic, with a = 15.3803(9) /Angstrom/, b = 9.0443(1) /Angstrom/, c = 17.888(1) /Angstrom/, and ..beta.. = 125.382(3)/degrees/, space group P2/sub 1//a. It is isostructural with Fe/sub 2/(MoO/sub 4/)/sub 3/ and Cr/sub 2/(MoO/sub 4/)/sub 3/. The application of the Rietveld method to complex structures is discussed.
