The crystal structure of Na2Fe(CN)5(NO)·2D2O, disodium penta­cyano­nitro­syl­ferrate(III) bis­(dideuterium oxide), has been determined by X-ray diffraction at 11 and 293 K, and by neutron diffraction at 15 K. The accurate and extensive data sets lead to more precise determinations than are available from earlier work. The agreement in atomic positional and displacement parameters between the determinations at low temperature is very good.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.

Experimental. The correction for the absorption by the Be shield was performed by PROFIT (Streltsov & Zavodnik, 1989).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.

Experimental. The sample was mounted on the Single Crystal Diffractometer (SCD) at the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source (IPNS) at Argonne National Laboratory and cooled to 15 K with a Displex closed-cycle helium refrigerator. One histogram of data was collected to check for crystal quality and to determine the initial orientation matrix using an auto-indexing routine. Twenty-five time-of-flight histograms were collected with different chi and phi settings and covered approximately two octants of data (+/-h, +k, +l). Bragg reflections in each histogram were integrated and corrected for the Lorentz factor, the incident spectrum, and the detector efficiency.13 A wavelength-dependent spherical absorption correction was applied but symmetry related reflections were not averaged because of the wavelength dependence of extinction.

Refinement. The two H/D positions were modeled by putting both an H and a D atom on the same site. The occupancies were constrained to be fully occupied and allowed to refine. As noted by Figgis et al. (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120, 8715-8723), the zero point motion of H should be a factor of 20.5 greater than that for D. Therefore, the isotropic displacement parameters of the H atoms were allowed to vary, while those of D were constrained to be 1/20.5 of the H-atom displacement parameters. The occupancies on the H/D positions refined to 72% H on both sites. All atoms were refined isotropically. The large value for S relative to the X-ray structure determinations (3.75 vs ~1) arises because of the inclusion of many weak or unobserved reflections at high values of (sinθ)/λ.
