A differential thermal expansion approach to crystal structure determination from powder diffraction data

Abstract: Differential thermal expansion over the range 90-210 K has been applied successfully to determine the crystal structure of chlorothiazide from synchrotron powder diffraction data using direct methods. Key to the success of the approach is the use of a multi-data-set Pawley refinement to extract a set of reflection intensities that is more `single-crystal-like' than those extracted from a single data set. The improvement in reflection intensity estimates is quantified by comparison with reference single-crystal intensities.

Keywords: differential thermal expansion; powder diffraction; direct methods; Pawley refinement.
