Single crystal neutron diffraction for the inorganic chemist - a practical guide.
Abstract
Advances and upgrades in neutron sources and instrumentation are poised to make neutron diffraction more accessible to inorganic chemists than ever before. These improvements will pave the way for single crystal investigations that currently may be difficult, for example due to small crystal size or large unit cell volume. This article aims to highlight what can presently be achieved in neutron diffraction and looks forward toward future applications of neutron scattering in inorganic chemistry.

Crystal structure of coesite, a high-pressure form of SiO/sub 2/, at 15 and 298 K from single-crystal neutron and x-ray diffraction data: test of bonding models
The crystal structure of a natural coesite from an eclogite rock fragment in the Roberts Victor kimberlite, South Africa, was determined at 15 K by neutron diffraction (a = 7.1357 (13) A, b = 12.3835 (26) A, c = 7.1859 (11) A, ..beta.. = 120.375 (16)/sup 0/, C2/c), and at approx.298 K by X-ray diffraction. Cell dimensions measured by neutron diffraction at 292 K (7.1464 (9), 12.3796 (19), and 7.1829 (8) A, 120.283 (9)/sup 0/) differed from those determined by X-ray diffraction, probably because of a systematic absorption error for the latter. The strongly anisotropic nature of the thermal expansionmore » -
Domain and crystal structure of superconducting Ba/sub 2/YCu/sub 3/O/sub 8-//sub delta/ at 40 and 100 K by single-crystal neutron diffraction
The domain and crystal structure of orthorhombic Ba/sub 2/YCu/sub 3/O/sub 8-//sub delta/ (deltaapprox. =1.30) has been investigated at 40 and 100 K by single-crystal neutron diffraction. As the crystals were cooled from the tetragonal growth phase the reciprocal lattice split quadruply due to interchange of the orthorhombic a and b axes on a macroscopic scale and to microscopic twinning about (110) planes. Recording the diffraction pattern on a multidetector allowed some separation of the individual orthorhombic reflections. The intensity ratios of the individual reflections of some split peaks are shown to be particularly sensitive to the relative occupations of themore » -
Crystal and molecular structure of bis(diisopropylphenylphosphine)hexahydridoosmium, (OsH/sub 6/(PC/sub 12/H/sub 19/)/sub 2/): single-crystal neutron diffraction study at 20 K
The crystal and molecular structure of the hexahydridoosmium complex (OsH/sub 6/(PC/sub 12/H/sub 19/)/sub 2/), determined from a low-temperature X-ray diffraction analysis, has been refined on the basis of neutron diffraction data obtained at 20 K. The dodecahedral ML/sub 2/H/sub 6/ core has approximate mm symmetry with the phosphines in equivalent B (five-neighbor) sites and a P-Os-P angle of 155.2 (1)/sup 0/. The Os-H distances range from 1.637 (4) to 1.668 (4) A, with a mean value of 1.649 (5) A. Crystal data at 20.0 (5) K: a = 17.016 (3) A, b = 13.762 (3) A, c = 10.857 (3)more »
