In this work we tackle the stacking disorder of melon, a layered carbon imide amide polymer with the ideal composition (C 6 N 7 (NH)(NH 2 )). Although its existence has been postulated since 1834 the structure of individual melon layers could only recently be solved via electron diffraction and high-resolution 15 respectively. Furthermore, the homogeneity of the material under examination was investigated exploiting 15 N spin-diffusion. Based on force field methods 256 structure models with varying lateral arrangements between neighboring layers were created. For each model the M 2 were calculated allowing them to be ranked by comparing calculated and measured M 2 as well as via their force field energies. This allows the creation of markedly structured hypersurfaces with two distinctly favored shift vectors for the displacement of neighboring layers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
