5. Consider the x-ray powder diffraction pattern of tea2Mo6OI9 (tea is
tetraethylarnmonium, [N(Cz~5)4]+), which is shown in Figure
5.28
and
found in the file Ch5PrO5-CuKa.xy on the CD.
A
total of 44 individual
Bragg peaks are measurable up to
20
=
49.5" and these are listed in Table
5.30
and also found in the file Ch5PrO5-CuKa.pks on the CD. Peak
positions, intensities, and full widths at half maximum have been
determined using a profile fitting procedure. The observed Bragg angles
are listed for the CuKa, component in the doublet,
h
=

A.
a) Using TREOR, IT0 and DICVOL perform ab initio indexing of the
powder diffraction pattern. Try to obtain solution in each of the three
programs. Figure out a systematic error using different orders of the
same reflections. Indexing hint: the unit cell is relatively large,
therefore, increase maximum volume if no acceptable solution is
found and use only 20 lowest Bragg angle peaks.
b) Analyze the combinations of Miller indices of the observed Bragg
reflections and determine possible space groups describing
symmetry of the material.
