Neutron powder diffraction experiments on D(2)-loaded NOTT-112 reveal that the axial sites of exposed Cu(II) ions in the smallest cuboctahedral cages are the first, strongest binding sites for D(2) leading to an overall discrimination between the two types of exposed Cu(II) sites at the paddlewheel nodes. Thus, the Cu(II) centers within the cuboctahedral cage are the first sites of D(2) binding with a Cu-D(2) distance of 2.23(1) A.

Magnetoplumbites are one of the most broadly studied families of hexagonal ferrites, typically with high magnetic ordering temperatures, making them excellent candidates for permanent magnets. However, magnetic frustration is rarely observed in magnetoplumbites. Herein, the discovery, synthesis, and characterization of the first Mn-based magnetoplumbite, as well as the first magnetoplumbite involving pnictogens (Sb), ASbMnO (A = K or Rb) are reported.

Oxygen vacancies in Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskites (PV) [AO][ABO] play a pivotal role in engineering functional properties and thus understanding the relationship between oxygen-vacancy distribution and physical properties can open up new strategies for fine manipulation of structure-driven functionalities. However, the structural origin of preferential distribution for oxygen vacancies in RP structures is not well understood, notably in the single-layer ( = 1) RP-structure. Herein, the = 1 RP phase SrNdZnO was rationally designed and structurally characterized by combining three-dimensional (3D) electron diffraction and neutron powder diffraction.

This work presents the results of a study on the influence of fillers on the neutron absorption capacity of materials made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Composite materials based on UHMWPE were obtained using gas-flame technology with the addition of powdered UHMWPE fillers (HBO, WC, and PbO). A radiation cassette has been developed and constructed for conducting studies on the neutron absorption capacity of the material, allowing for the placement of a sample with activation indicators.

We herein report on a fast and convenient soft-chemical synthesis approach towards large 1T-CrTe van-der-Waals crystals. This compound is formed X-ray diffraction pure, with a complete conversion within just over 2 h from flux-grown LiCrTe crystals using diluted acids. Due to the availability of high-quality single crystals, we have confirmed the crystal structure for the first time by single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments.
