we have investigated to synthesized a compound including Ag and H5PV2Mo10O40 and we ask this compound characterize by XRD without using Powder XRD. Is it possible. if it is possible, how can we characterize? Thank you
I do not really understand your question. You want characterize it by XRD but not b Powder XRD? Is your material single crystalline or amorphous? What do you understand under the term: characterize? What do you want characterize?
Dear Gert Nozel
we synthesized a compound including Ag and H5PV2Mo10O40 and we want to characterize this compound by XRD but in publications, we could not find XRD analaysis of this compound. our question is how can this compound is characterized without using Powder XRD because we have not Powder XRD but we have XRD
Again, which kind of XRD equipment do you have? I highly assume that powder XRD is the most distributed technique because its applicability regarding phase identification, phase analysis, lattice parameter determination, strain, texture...
And again: WHAT do you want characterize? "Characterize" can mean, color, grain size or shape, electrical conductivity, thermal expansion... I know, many of them do not have anything to do with XRD but therefore I am asking: WHAT dou you have in mind to characterize?
Dear Gert Nozel
We have X-ray diffractometer using nickel-filtered CuKa radiation.
we want to undersdand whether a compound consisting of Ag and H5PV2Mo10O40 have a chemical bond. So can we use X-ray diffractometer using nickel-filtered CuKa radiation.
Dear Dr Topaloglu,
Following to Dr Gert Nolze's comments, I would suggest you to measure XRD data of your sample. If the XRD pattern is crystalline materials, you could either use the HighScore Plus or Jade softwares to perform the phase identification.
Subsequently, you could use the GSAS Rietveld software to perform crystal structure refinement of the identified phases. Additionally, if you are interested in extending your work you could further use Rietveld refinement to determine quantitative phase analysis, lattice parameter determination, crystallite-size and micro-strain, and crystallographic preferred orientation or texture of crystalline materials. Noted, that, if you can fit the data well and the refined crystal structure parameters agree well with the XRD single crystal, you could determine the bond lengths.
Good Luck!
Best wishes,

I think the technique is not suitable for searching chemical bonds. Have you tried vibrational spectroscopy?
Powder XRD can provide an answer to your question, if it is followed by structure solution studies. In this case you need a high statistics pattern along with a suitable software (for example: http://users.uoi.gr/nkourkou/winpssp/)
