“…A few structures have already been solved ab initio from powder diffraction data. These investigations have involved both Patterson (Berg & Werner, 1977;Westman, Werner, Schuler & Raldow, 1981;Adels-k61d, Werner, Sundberg & Uggla, 1981;Clearfield, McCusker & Rudolf, 1984;Rudolf & Clearfield, 1985;Attfield, Sleight & Cheetham, 1986) and direct methods (Nolang & Tergenius, 1980;Christensen, Lehmann & Nielsen, 1985;Cheetham, David, Eddy, Jakeman, Johnson & Torardi, 1986;Rudolf, Saldarriaga-Molina & Clearfield, 1986;Lehmann, Christensen, Fjellv~g, Feidenhans'l & Nielsen, 1987), and include conventional X-ray, synchrotron and 0021-8898/88/040305-06503.00 © 1988 International Union of Crystallography neutron sources. Several have been known structures or simple derivatives of known structures, and in only one instance was a zeolite-like material studied.…”
