01/2007 | Zeitschrift für Kristallographie, Oldenbourg WissenschaftsverlagIn this study we report the solution of the structure of δ-Al(OD)3. The crystal structure was determined using powder X-ray diffraction and direct methods, while the positions of deuterium atoms were estimated by difference-Fourier methods and MEM/Rietveld analysis...
