Abstract:
The structure and thermal expansion of the Prussian blue analogue RbCuCo(CN)6 has been determined via neutron and X-ray powder diffraction. The system crystallises in Cccm and harbours three coexisting distortions relative to the parent Fm3[combining macron]m structure, which leads to anisotropic thermal expansion with a near-zero component in one direction. The difficulties associated with determining octahedral tilt systems in Prussian blue analogues and related double molecular perovskites are discussed.

Thermal expansion and Thermal stress: Problem Solving
To solve the problem, first, identify the known and unknown quantities. The initial length (L) of the bridge is 1275 m, the coefficient of linear expansion (α) for steel is 12 x 10-6/°C, and the change in temperature (ΔT) is 55...

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are...
