Abstract
The crystal structures of two industrially produced laked yellow pigments, Pigment Yellow 183 [P.Y. 183, Ca(C16H10Cl2N4O7S2), alpha phase] and Pigment Yellow 191 [P.Y. 191, Ca(C17H13ClN4O7S2), alpha and beta phases], were determined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. The coordinates of the molecular fragments of the crystal structures were found by means of real-space methods (simulated annealing) with the program DASH. The coordinates of the calcium ions and the water molecules were determined by combining real-space methods (DASH and MRIA) and repeated Rietveld refinements (TOPAS) of the partially finished crystal structures. TOPAS was also used for the final Rietveld refinements. The crystal structure of beta-P.Y. 183 was determined from single-crystal data. The alpha phases of the two pigments are isostructural, whereas the beta phases are not. All four phases exhibit a double-layer structure, built from nonpolar layers containing the C/N backbone and polar layers containing the calcium ions, sulfonate groups and water molecules. Furthermore, the crystal structures of an N,N-dimethylformamide solvate of P.Y. 183, and of P.Y. 191 solvates with N,N-dimethylformamide and N,N-dimethylacetamide were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis.
