Hydrogenous materials using powder neutron diffraction: full structural determination of adsorbed water molecules in a zeolite.
A full structural description, including the adsorbed water molecules, of the zeolite goosecreekite CaAl(2)Si(6)O(16).5H(2)O, has been obtained from powder neutron diffraction data in one hour, illustrating the potential of modern instrumentation for characterization of hydrogenous materials without deuteration.
