Abstract

The distances between the heavy metal atoms of organometallic clusters can be measured directly in a powder sample (amorphous or polycrystalline). These distances produce the strongest, simply identified peaks in the radical distribution function (RDF), which is obtained by Fourier transformation of the X-ray powder diffraction pattern. The various models of cluster structure can be tested directly by comparing the experimental RDF with the calculated one. Practical possibilities of the method are investigated with the help of some substances of known structure.
