β¦ Synopsis
At 1050 Β°C boron combines with sodium forming a boride of formerly unknown composition and crystal structure. The investigation of the homogeneous, monophasic, and crystalline powder was performed using X-ray (23 Β°C) and neutron (Β±271.5 Β°C) diffraction methods. The structure solution led to an unusual arrangement of boron atoms, characterized by two different types of polyhedra, a distorted pentagonal bipyramid and a distorted octahedron.
The Rietveld refinement of the crystal structure was carried out in the orthorhombic space group Cmmm

The crystal structure of [(C 5 H 4 BMe 2 ) 2 Fe]-4,4'-bipyridine [2 Β΄bipy] n has been determined by the method of simulated annealing from high resolution X-ray powder diffraction at room temperature. The compound is of interest, because it proves that highly ordered organometallic macromolecules ca
