Variability in the Formation and Framework Polymorphism of Metal-organic Frameworks based on Yttrium(III) and the Bifunctional Organic Linker 2,5-Dihydroxyterephthalic Acid

Depending on the solvothermal reaction conditions, we obtained three different metal-organic frameworks with yttrium(III) as metal component and 2,5-dihdyroxyterepthalic acid (H₄dhtp) as bifunctional organic linker: Y₂(H₂dhtp)₃(dmf)₄ · (dmf)₂ (CPO-29) contains dinuclear, paddle-wheel like inorganic secondary building units (SBUs) connected by the organic linker to a network with α-Po topology, while Y₂(H₂dhtp)(dhtp)(dmf)₂ (CPO-30) and Y₂(H₂dhtp)(dhtp)(dmf)₂(H₂O)₂ · (H₂O)₄ (CPO-31) contain one-dimensional inorganic SBUs that differ in how the half- and fully deprotonated ligands are connected to and arranged around them. Only the carboxylic acid groups of the organic linker are deprotonated in CPO-29, while CPO-30 and CPO-31 contain both 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalate (H₂dhtp^2–) linkers and fully deprotonated 2,5-dioxidoterephthalate (dhtp^4–) linkers. All three compounds contain large volumes filled with solvent, but we were able to demonstrate permanence of porosity only for CPO-30. Variable temperature powder X-ray diffraction reveals that CPO-29 and CPO-31 undergo discontinuous phase transitions upon heating, and the flexibility of the framework structure indicated by these might be the reason for the inability to access the pore volume. Desolvated CPO-30 and CPO-31 are polymorphs, whose network structures differ in whether the H₂dhtp^2– and dhtp^4– linkers are located in cis or trans arrangement around the inorganic SBU.     

Hydrogen adsorption in a nickel based coordination polymer with open metal sites in the cylindrical cavities of the desolvated framework

The solvent contained within the cylindrical one-dimensional pores of the novel three-dimensional metal organic framework Ni2(dhtp)(H2O)2.8H2O can be removed without decomposition of the network, allowing gas storage within the cavities.     

Effect of Larger Pore Size on the Sorption Properties of Isoreticular Metal–Organic Frameworks with High Number of Open Metal Sites

Four isostructural CPO-54-M metal-organic frameworks based on the larger organic linker 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylic acid and divalent cations (M=Mn, Mg, Ni, Co) are shown to be isoreticular to the CPO-27 (MOF-74) materials. Desolvated CPO-54-Mn contains a very high concentration of open metal sites, which has a pronounced effect on the gas adsorption of N₂, H₂, CO₂ and CO. Initial isosteric heats of adsorption are significantly higher than for MOFs without open metal sites and are slightly higher than for CPO-27. The plateau of high heat of adsorption decreases earlier in CPO-54-Mn as a function of loading per mole than in CPO-27-Mn. Cluster and periodic density functional theory based calculations of the adsorbate structures and energetics show that the larger adsorption energy at low loadings, when only open metal sites are occupied, is mainly due to larger contribution of dispersive interactions for the materials with the larger, more electron rich bridging ligand.     

Adsorption properties and structure of CO2 adsorbed on open coordination sites of metal-organic framework Ni2(dhtp) from gas adsorption, IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction

The microporous metal-organic framework Ni(2)(dhtp) (H(4)dhtp=2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid) shows distinct end-on CO(2) coordination to coordinatively unsaturated nickel sites giving rise to high CO(2) adsorption capacity at sub-atmospheric pressures and ambient temperatures.     

Design of novel bilayer compounds of the CPO-8 type containing 1D channels

The reaction between Zn(NO3)2.6H2O and 5-aminoisophthalic acid (aip) in a mixture of diethylformamide (DEF) and ethanol resulted in [Zn(C8H5NO4)(C5H11NO)]n (CPO-8-DEF). This compound is composed of infinite 2D layers with tetrahedral Zn atoms and aip ligands in a triangular topology. The DEF molecules are bonded to Zn, and within each layer, the DEF molecules are oriented in the same direction, while in the subsequent layer, the DEF molecules are oriented in the opposite direction. By introduction of the pillaring ligands 4,4-bipyridine (BPY), 1,2-di-4-pyridylethylene (DPE), 1,2-di-4-pyridylethane (DPA), and 1,3-di-4-pyridylpropane (DPP) into mixtures of N,N'-dimethylformamide and water with Zn(NO3)2 and aip, we have successfully synthesized a series of related pillared bilayer compounds with the same common triangular Zn(aip) layer structural motif as that observed in CPO-8-DEF. The compounds are denoted as CPO-8-BPY ([Zn(C8H5NO4)(C10H8N2)(0.5)]n.3nH2O), CPO-8-DPE ([Zn(C8H5NO4)(C12H10N2)(0.5)]n.2.5nH2O), CPO-8-DPA ([Zn(C8H5NO4)(C12H12N2)(0.5)]n.2.5nH2O), and CPO-8-DPP ([Zn(C8H5NO4)(C13H14N2)(0.5)]n.3nH2O). In all cases, the pillars create spaces inside the bilayers that result in 1D channels running along the [010] directions with dimensions of 3.5 x 6.7 A(2). These channels contain water molecules that can be removed on heating to 150 degrees C, resulting in porous structures. The crystal structures of these porous high-temperature variants have been determined on the basis of powder X-ray diffraction data. All of the compounds show preferential adsorption of H2 over N2 at 77 K.     

Structure, spectroscopic properties, and reversible solid-to-solid reactions of metal complexes of 5-nitro-pyrimidin-2-olate

In searching for coordination polymers containing the highly polarized 5-nitro-pyrimidin-2-olate ligand (NP), a number of species containing 3d transition metals have been prepared and characterized, namely Co(NP)2(H2O)4, [Co(NP)2]n, Ni(NP)2(H2O)4, [Ni(NP)2]x, and [Zn(NP)2]n. Their structures have been determined by X-ray powder diffraction methods. The hydrated compounds contain mononuclear M(NP)2(H2O)4 units interconnected by means of a three-dimensional (3D) network of hydrogen bonds. The homoleptic species, at variance from the already known metal(II) pyrimidin-2-olate ones, crystallize as two-dimensional (2D) slabs, where the metal coordination is of the MN3O kind. The electron-withdrawing nitro group, never bound to the metal ion, is likely to influence the observed stereochemistry through steric and dipolar effects within the crystal lattice. The thermal, spectroscopic, and magnetic properties of these species are presented. The M(NP)2(H2O)4/[M(NP)2]x,n systems interconvert reversibly upon dehydration/rehydration processes.     

Interaction between metal nitrates and carbohydrates: the topology coordination behavior of galactitol with trivalent lanthanide and divalent alkaline earth ions

It has long been known that metal ions and saccharides are involved in many biochemical processes. In this paper, metal nitrates were used as reactants to detect the coordination structures of the hydroxyl groups of galactitol in different environments. Three novel crystal structures and FT-IR spectra of metal nitrate-galactitol complexes of La(NO3)3.C6H14O6.(4)H2O, 2Ca(NO3)2.C6H14O6.H2O, and Sr(NO3)2.C6H14O6 were examined in an effort to clarify the structural factors that control metal ion interactions with saccharides in aqueous and biological systems. The coordination structures of galactitol with alkaline earth and lanthanide nitrates in the solid state were compared using FT-IR, Raman, and X-ray diffraction techniques to extensively discuss the coordination rules of different kinds of metal ions. Results provided a model of the coordination sites found in sugars and showed that the introduction of NO3- made the coordination modes of galactitol more diverse and complex than those of the corresponding chloride complexes. Specifically, new coordination modes of galactitol and complicated topology networks were found in 2Ca(NO3)2.C6H14O6.H2O and Sr(NO3)2.C6H14O6. FT-IR results are consistent with the crystal structures and thus provide the possibility of using the similarity of IR spectra to speculate about unknown structures when the compounds are difficult to prepare as single crystals.     

Tetrakis(imidazolyl)borate-based coordination polymers: group II network solids,M[B(Im)4]2(H2O)2 (M = Mg,Ca, Sr)

We are using the coordinating anion tetrakis(imidazolyl)borate to construct new metal-organic framework structures. In this report, we present three alkaline earth metal network solids incorporating this anion. All three compounds have the same formula, M[B(Im)(4)](2)(H(2)O)(2) (M = Mg, Ca, Sr), and the same coordination environment about the metal. However, the three compounds have different network structures with different degrees of hydrogen bonding; the Mg material forms a two-dimensional network and the Ca and Sr compounds form one-dimensional chains. In addition, we present the structure of the protonated anion B(HIm)(Im)(3) as a model for the default structure of this anion and discuss how the conformation of tetrakis(imidazolyl)borate can affect the structure of network solids.     

Role of exposed metal sites in hydrogen storage in MOFs

The role of exposed metal sites in increasing the H2 storage performances in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been investigated by means of IR spectrometry. Three MOFs have been considered: MOF-5, with unexposed metal sites, and HKUST-1 and CPO-27-Ni, with exposed Cu(2+) and Ni(2+), respectively. The onset temperature of spectroscopic features associated with adsorbed H2 correlates with the adsorption enthalpy obtained by the VTIR method and with the shift experienced by the H-H stretching frequency. This relationship can be ascribed to the different nature and accessibility of the metal sites. On the basis of a pure energetic evaluation, it was observed that the best performance was shown by CPO-27-Ni that exhibits also an initial adsorption enthalpy of -13.5 kJ mol(-1), the highest yet observed for a MOF. Unfortunately, upon comparison of the hydrogen amounts stored at high pressure, the hydrogen capacities in these conditions are mostly dependent on the surface area and total pore volume of the material. This means that if control of MOF surface area can benefit the total stored amounts, only the presence of a great number of strong adsorption sites can make the (P, T) storage conditions more economically favorable. These observations lead to the prediction that efficient H2 storage by physisorption can be obtained by increasing the surface density of strong adsorption sites.     

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis,Characterization and Modeling of CPO-27-Mg Metal-Organic Framework for Drug Delivery

The coordination polymer CPO-27-Mg was rapidly synthesized under microwave irradiation. This material exhibits a sufficiently high drug loading towards aspirin (~8% wt.) and paracetamol (~14% wt.). The binding of these two molecules with the inner surface of the metal-organic framework was studied employing the Gaussian and Plane Wave approach of the Density Functional Theory. The structure of CPO-27-Mg persists after the adsorption of aspirin or paracetamol and their desorption energies, being quite high, decrease under solvent conditions.     

Formation of 1 D and 3 D coordination polymers in the solid state induced by mechanochemical and annealing treatments: bis(3-cyano-pentane-2,4-dionato) metal complexes

Bis(3-cyano-pentane-2,4-dionato) (CNacac) metal complex, [M(CNacac)(2)], which acts as both a metal-ion-like and a ligand-like building unit, forms supramolecular structures by self-assembly. Co-grinding of the metal acetates of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) with CNacacH formed a CNacac complex in all cases: mononuclear complex was formed in the cases of Mn(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II), whereas polymeric ones were formed in the cases of Fe(II), Co(II) and Ni(II). Subsequent annealing converted the mononuclear complexes of Mn(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) to their corresponding polymers as a result of dehydration of the mononuclear complexes. The resultant Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) polymeric complexes had a common 3 D structure with high thermal stability. In the case of Cu(II), a 1 D polymer was obtained. The Mn(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) polymeric complexes returned to their original mononuclear complexes on exposure to water vapour but they reverted to the polymeric complexes by re-annealing. Co-grinding of metal chlorides with CNacacH and annealing of the mononuclear CNacac complexes prepared from solution reactions were also examined for comparison. [Mn(CNacac)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], [M(CNacac)(2)(H(2)O)] (M=Cu(II) and Zn(II)) and [M(CNacac)(2)](infinity) (M=Mn(II), Fe(II) and Zn(II)) are new compounds, which clearly indicated the power of the combined mechanochemical/annealing method for the synthesis of varied metal coordination complexes.     

Metal-specific interactions of H2 adsorbed within isostructural metal-organic frameworks

Diffuse reflectance infrared (IR) spectroscopy performed over a wide temperature range (35-298 K) is used to study the dynamics of H(2) adsorbed within the isostructural metal-organic frameworks M(2)L (M = Mg, Mn, Co, Ni and Zn; L = 2,5-dioxidobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate) referred to as MOF-74 and CPO-27. Spectra collected at H(2) concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 3.0 H(2) per metal cation reveal that strongly red-shifted vibrational modes arise from isolated H(2) bound to the available metal coordination site. The red shift of the bands associated with this site correlate with reported isosteric enthalpies of adsorption (at small surface coverage), which in turn depend on the identity of M. In contrast, the bands assigned to H(2) adsorbed at positions >3 ? from the metal site exhibit only minor differences among the five materials. Our results are consistent with previous models based on neutron diffraction data and independent IR studies, but they do not support a recently proposed adsorption mechanism that invokes strong H(2)···H(2) interactions (Nijem et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc.2010, 132, 14834-14848). Room temperature IR spectra comparable to those on which the recently proposed adsorption mechanism was based were only reproduced after contaminating the adsorbent with ambient air. Our interpretation that the uncontaminated spectral features result from stepwise adsorption at discrete framework sites is reinforced by systematic red shifts of adsorbed H(2) isotopologues and consistencies among overtone bands that are well-described by the Buckingham model of molecular interactions in vibrational spectroscopy.     

Syntheses,structures and magnetic properties of Mn(II) containing 3D polymeric networks

Two novel 3D coordination polymers {[Mn(aip)(DMF)]}_n, CPO-9, and {[Mn₃(Hatp)₂(atp)₂](H₂O)₂(DEF)₄}_n CPO-10 (aip = 5-aminoisophthalate, atp = 2-aminoterephthalate, DMF = dimethylformamide, DEF = diethylformamide) have been synthesized by solvothermal methods. Their properties have been studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, high-temperature powder X-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The crystal structure of CPO-9 is based on infinite chains of carboxylato-bridged five-coordinated Mn(II) ions that are crosslinked via the aip ligands to form a 3D structure. CPO-10 is based on linear trinuclear building units of carboxylato-bridged octahedral Mn(II) ions that are crosslinked by the atp ligands into a 3D structure. Both compounds have 1D channels that contain solvent molecules. The solvent accessible void volume for CPO-10 is 51.9% of the unit cell volume. For both compounds, however, the solvent molecules cannot be removed without the collapse of the structures into amorphous phases at 250 °C. The magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate antiferromagnetic couplings between the Mn(II) ions in both compounds. The magnetic data have been fitted using theoretical approaches.     

A bridge between pillared-layer and helical structures: a series of three-dimensional pillared coordination polymers with multiform helical chains

Rational self-assembly of a long V-shaped 3,3',4,4'-benzophenonetetracarboxylate (bptc) ligand and metal salts in the presence of linear bidentate ligand yield a series of novel pillared helical-layer complexes, namely, [Cu2(bptc)(bpy)2] (1), [M3(Hbptc)2(bpy)3(H2O)4].2 H2O (M = Fe(2) and Ni(3)), [Co2(bptc)(bpy)(H2O)].0.5 bpy (4), [Cd2(bptc)(bpy)(H2O)2].H2O (5), [Mn2(bptc)(bpy)1.5(H2O)3] (6) and [M2(bptc)(bpy)0.5(H2O)5].0.5 bpy (M = Mn(7), Mg(8) and Co(9), bpy=4,4'-bipyridine). Their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and further characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra, and thermogravimetric (TG) analyses. The structure of 1 consists of two types of chiral layers, one left-handed and the other right-handed, which are connected by bpy pillars to generate a novel 3D open framework featuring four distinct helical chains. Compounds 2 and 3 are isostructural and feature 3D structures formed from the interconnection of arm-shaped helical layers with bpy pillars. Compound 4 is a pillared helical double-layer complex containing four different types of helices, among which the nine-fold interwoven helices constructed from triple-stranded helical motifs are unprecedented. Compound 5 exhibits a novel 3D covalent framework which features nanosized tubular channels. These channels are built from helical layers pillared by bptc ligands. The structure of 6 is constructed from {Mn(bptc)(H2O)}n2n- layers, which consist of left- and right-handed helical chains, pillared by [Mn2(bpy)3(H2O)4]4+ complexes into a 3D framework. To the best of our knowledge, compounds 1-6 are the first examples of pillared helical-layer coordination polymers. Compounds 7-9 are isostructural and exhibit interesting 2D helical double-layer structures, which are constructed from {M(bptc)(H2O)2}n2n- ribbons cross-linked by [M2(bpy)(H2O)6]4+ complexes. Furthermore, the 3D supramolecular structures of 7-9 are similar to the 3D structure of 6, and the 2D structure of 7 can be transformed into the 3D structure of 6 at higher reaction temperature. By inspection of the structures of 1-9, it is believed that the V-shaped bptc ligand and V-shaped phthalic group of the bptc ligand are important for the formation of the helical structures. The magnetic behavior of compounds 1, 2, 4, 6, and 9 was studied and indicated the existence of antiferromagnetic interactions. Moreover, compound 5 shows intense photoluminescence at room temperature.     

Dehydration of the nanoporous coordination framework ErIII[CoIII(CN)6].4(H2O): single crystal to single crystal transformation and negative thermal expansion in ErIII[CoIII(CN)6

Desorption of bound and unbound water molecules from the nanoporous coordination framework ErIII[CoIII(CN)6].4(H2O) to form the apohost, ErIII[CoIII(CN)6], proceeds via a single crystal to single crystal transformation in which the Er(III) cations change from 8- to 6-coordinate; dehydration results in a striking change in the thermal expansion properties.     

Syntheses and structures of [M{In(SC{O}Ph)4}2] (M = Mg and Ca): single molecular precursors to MIn2S4 materials

The compounds [Mg{In(SC{O}Ph)4}2] (1) and [Ca(H2O)x{In(SC{O}Ph)4}2].yH2O (x = 0, y = 1, 2 major product; x = 1, y = 0, 2a minor product; x = 2, y = 2, 2b minor product) have been synthesized by reacting InCl3 and M(SC{O}Ph)2 (M = Mg and Ca) prepared in situ in the molar ratio 1:2. The structures of 1, 2a, and 2b have been determined by X-ray crystallography. The structure of 1 consists of two tetrahedral [In(SC{O}Ph)4]- anions sandwiching the Mg(II) metal ions through six carbonyl O atoms. The coordination geometry at the Mg(II) metal atom is distorted octahedral with an O(6) donor set. The structures of 2a and 2b consist of two [In(SC{O}Ph)4]- anions sandwiching the Ca(II) metal ion through five and four carbonyl O atoms, and the octahedral coordination at the Ca(II) centers is completed by one and two aqua ligands, respectively. Two aqua ligands and two lattice water molecules form a H-bonded water chain in the channel created by [Ca{In(SC{O}Ph)4}2] molecules in the crystal structure of 2b. The thermal decomposition of 1 and 2 indicated the formation of the corresponding MIn2S4 materials, and this was confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction patterns.     

Solid-state syntheses of coordination polymers by thermal conversion of molecular building blocks and polymeric precursors

The syntheses and crystal structures of a mononuclear cadmium complex and five novel coordination polymers based on 1,2,4-triazolyl benzoates are presented. The compounds (∞)(3)[Cd(H-Me-trz-pba)(2)] (2), (∞)(3)[Cd(Me-3py-trz-pba)(2)] (4), and (∞)(3)[Zn(H-Me-trz-pba)(2)] (6) can be obtained by solvothermal synthesis or simple heating of the starting materials in appropriate solvents, and are also accessible by thermal conversion of the complex [Cd(H-Me-trz-pba)(2)(H(2)O)(4)] (1), the one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymer (∞)(1)[Cd(Me-3py-trz-pba)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·H(2)O (3), and the porous three-dimensional (3D) framework (∞)(3)[Zn(H-Me-trz-pba)2]·4H(2)O (5), respectively. The driving force for these conversions is the formation of thermally stable, nonporous, crystalline 3D coordination polymers. The structural transformations are accompanied by the loss of water and reveal significant changes of the coordination spheres of the metal ions caused by a rearrangement of the triazolyl benzoate ligands. Compounds 2, 4, 5, and 6 exhibit 4- and 5-fold interpenetration of diamondoid networks (dia) and are thermally stable up to 380 °C.     

Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of chiral and nonchiral transition-metal malates

Carboxylate-bridged complexes of transition metals, M(II)=Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), were synthesised by reaction of M(II) salts with dl-malate and L-malate under hydrothermal conditions. These complexes form four series of compounds, which have been fully characterised structurally, thermally and magnetically. The crystal structures of the new chiral compounds, [Mn(L-mal)(H(2)O)] (1), [Fe(L-mal)(H(2)O)] (2), [Co(L-mal)(H(2)O)] (3) and [Zn(L-mal)(H(2)O)] (4) as well as those of the bimetallic analogues [Mn(0.63)Co(0.37)(L-mal)(H(2)O)] (5) and [Mn(0.79)Ni(0.21)(L-mal)(H(2)O)] (6) have been solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The six L-malate monohydrates crystallise in the chiral space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) and consist in a three-dimensional network of metal(II) centres in octahedral sites formed by oxygen atoms. These structures were compared to those of the chiral trihydrate compounds [Co(L-mal)(H(2)O)]2 H(2)O (7), [Ni(L-mal)(H(2)O)]2 H(2)O (8) and [Co(0.52)Ni(0.48)(L-mal)(H(2)O)]2 H(2)O (9), which exhibit helical chains of M(II) centres, and those of dl-malate dihydrates [Co(dl-mal)(H(2)O)]H(2)O (10) and [Ni(dl-mal)(H(2)O)H(2)O (11) and trihydrate [Mn(L-mal)(H(2)O)]2 H(2)O (12) highlighting the great flexibility of the coordination by the malate ligand. UV/Vis spectroscopic results are consistent with octahedral coordination geometry of high-spin transition-metal centres. Extensive magnetic characterisation of each homologous series indicates rather weak coupling interaction between paramagnetic centres linked through carboxylate bridges. Curie-like paramagnetic, antiferromagnetic, ferromagnetic or weak ferromagnetic behaviour is observed and discussed on the basis of the structural features. The bimetallic compounds 5 and 6 represent new examples of chiral magnets.     

Water de/adsorption associated with single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal structural transformation of a series of two‐dimensional metal–organic frameworks, [M(bipy)(C4O4)(H2O)2]·3H2O (M = Mn (1), Fe (2), and Zn (3), and bipy=4,4′‐bipyridine)

An assembly of three metal coordination polymers (CPs), [M(bipy)(C₄O₄)(H₂O)₂]·3H₂O (M = Mn ( 1 ), Fe ( 2 ), Zn ( 3 ), and bipy = 4,4′‐bipyridine, C₄O₄^2? (squarate) = dianion of H₂C₄O₄ (squaric acid)), was synthesized and structurally characterized. Single‐crystal X‐ray structural determination reveals that compounds 1 – 3 are iso‐structural, in which the M(II) ions are six‐coordinate in a distorted octahedral geometry. C₄O₄^2? and bipy both act as bridging ligands with bis‐monodentate coordination mode connecting the M(II) ions to form a two‐dimensional (2D) layered metal–organic framework (MOF). Adjacent 2D layers are then arranged in parallel and interpenetrated manners to construct their three‐dimensional (3D) supramolecular architecture. Compounds 1 , 2 , and 3 undergo two‐step dehydration processes with the first and second weight losses of 14.1 and 8.6% for 1 , of 12.1 and 7.5% for 2, and of 11.2 and 8.1% for 3 , respectively, corresponding to the weight losses of the three guest water molecules and the two coordinated water molecules, and all exhibit reversible sponge‐like water de/adsorption properties during de/rehydration processes for guest water molecules as per cyclic thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal (SCSC) structural transformation during the reversible de/rehydration processes of three guest water molecules was identified and monitored using exhaustive single‐crystal and powder X‐ray diffraction measurements.
