摘要
A new brittle hydrocarbon has been successfully synthesized in polycrystalline form, and its crystal structure solved by quantitative electron diffraction. By 3D tilting of the nano-crystals, the lattice type and unit cell parameters were determined. (Triclinic, a = 6.03 Angstrom, b = 6.23 Angstrom, c = 13.86 Angstrom, alpha = 87.26degrees, beta = 106.69degrees, and gamma = 119.01degrees.) Spot diffraction patterns were obtained at -165degrees C using the Koehler selected-area mode on a LEO 912 TEM fitted with an omega in-column elastic energy filter. The direct methods algorithm was then applied to merged intensities and a trial structure obtained assuming single scattering. This was further refined to obtain good agreement with a small residual of about 10% using multiple scattering calculations. A diagram of the proposed structure is given. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V.
