My GIA for 17 years

Professor Shao-Fan Lin

March 25, 2004

It is my great honor to be presented with the Distinguished Grantee Award. I must say that this honor should not belong to me only but to my group. Actually it is my group who has done those work for past 17 years. I am only a member of the group. I would never forget the valuable help of my friends in ICDD, Jerry Johnson, Ron Jenkins, Fangling Needham, Ting Huang, Shelley Wolkov and so on.

▉ SUBMIT REFERENCE PATTERNS

1.  How I joined the ICDD GIA?

1980s The World Bank provided a loan to China to help Chinese Universities. 1986 Professor Jerry Johnson as the specialist came to Nankai University to help us in developing the application of computer in powder Diffraction. I was the host professor to welcome Dr. Johnson. Before leaving he pointed out that the specialty of organic chemistry is very strong in Nankai University and it has high quality single crystal and powder diffractometers, so, he suggested to me to join the ICDD GIA program. Since 1987 I began to apply the GIA and to submit reference patterns.

2.  From 1987 to now I have my GIA program every year. Following list is the history of my GIA program.

year / The number of submitted patterns / year / The number of submitted patterns
1987 / 14 / 1996 / 46
1988 / 20 / 1997 / 50
1989 / 30 / 1998 / 40
1990 / 30 / 1999 / 50
1991 / 40 / 2000 / 50
1992 / 40 / 2001 / 60
1993 / 40 / 2002 / 60
1994 / 40 / 2003 / 60
1995 / 40
Total / 710

3.  How do we prepare the powder pattern?

In Nankai University, more than one thousand new organic compounds are synthesized every year in the study works of professors. They are pharmaceuticals, pesticides, organo-metallic compounds and their intermediate compounds. A part of them are solid state and a few of them can be made to their single crystals. Only the compounds, which can be made to their single crystals, are used to get their single and powder data.

The steps used to prepare our patterns and data:

a.  First we used these single crystals to do experiments with single crystal diffractometers to get their cell parameters, space group, three-dimensional structures, and three-dimensional coordinates of atoms.

(Use ENRAF-NONIUS CAD4 and Bruker-AXS-CCD before 1999 and after 2000 respectively)

b.  Calculate the theoretical powder pattern of the phase according to its cell parameters, space group, and three-dimensional coordinate.(Program POWDER-12 was used)

c.  Do experiments using powder diffractometers and get their powder diffraction patterns (D/Max-3A and D/Max-RC were used before 1997 and after 1998 repectively)

d.  Compare the theoretical powder pattern and the experimental powder diffraction pattern to see whether they are well matched or not. If yes, then this data will be adopted and submitted to ICDD, otherwise it will be discarded. Usually we can get about 70-75 high quality powder patterns from 100 single crystal compounds. Because some compounds are not so stable, they change their crystal structures or even react with air and/or moisture.

Therefore, we can submit the cell parameters, space group, three-dimensional coordinates, the digitized data, peaks of the powder pattern, and the structure formula of every compound.

4.  What is the data form to be submitted?

For convenience to the treatment of editors, the input form of program PDFEAPC was submitted. However only electronic files were submitted and no paper was needed. Five files should be submitted for every reference data. They are:

a.  Lin-2003-01-dat: This is the powder pattern data. The data format is the same as what appears in the PDF database. It is readable by AIDS-83 program.

Beside the reference patterns, I have done some other works concerning PDF database. They are:

▉ INPUT THE STRUCTURE FORMULA FOR ORGANIC PHASES

Before 1990, the organic phases of PDF Database did not have the structure message, but the structure formula is very important for organic phase. Since 1991 we input the structure formulae for every organic phase. We finished this work in 1994. The total input number was about 15,000. After that we continue to input the new structures every year.

▉ COMPARE THE MERCK DATABASE WITH ICDD PDF

This work is to see how many solid compounds in the Merck database are absent in ICDD PDF. This work was done from 1997 to 2001. About five or six members joined this task group. The leader is Dr. Rendle. I completed 10,713 compounds (the total is 12,839)

▉ ABSTRACT THE CRYSTAL MESSAGE FROM THE ARTICLES ON METAL-ALLOY FIELD

This work was done in cooperation with Professor Jerry Johnson, Dr. Sury, Professor Antipov and me from 2000-2003. We completed 5,000 phases. Professor Antipov has done 7,000 phases.

Thanks to the Chairman to give me the chance to introduce my work. I would do my best to serve to ICDD continually.
