Main Methods:

  • Crystal and molecular structure determination using X-ray, synchrotron, and neutron powder diffraction data.
  • Initial structure solution employing Guinier photographs, grid search, and a priori information from NMR and mass spectra.
  • Advanced structure solution using high-resolution synchrotron data with direct methods (SHELXS96, SIRPOW.92, POWSIM) and Patterson search methods (DIRDIF96, PATSEE).
  • Structure solution including hydrogen atoms using neutron diffraction data and grid search procedures.

Main Results:

  • The crystal and molecular structures of compounds (I) and (II) were successfully determined.
  • High-resolution synchrotron data proved essential for confirming initial results and resolving structural ambiguities, particularly texture effects in Guinier patterns.
  • Both direct methods and Patterson search methods, when applied to synchrotron data, yielded reliable solutions without preliminary models.
  • Neutron diffraction data enabled the accurate placement of hydrogen atoms, leading to complete molecular models.

Conclusions:

  • The study demonstrates the successful application of multiple powder diffraction techniques for complex organic molecule structure determination.
  • Synchrotron radiation facilities offer significant advantages for obtaining high-quality, texture-free data crucial for accurate structure refinement.
  • The results underscore the high reproducibility and reliability of various powder diffraction software and equipment, with synchrotron data showing a preference.
  • This work validates the robustness of modern crystallographic methods in solving challenging structures.
