Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The solid solution NH 4 Al 0.62 Cr 0.38 (SO 4 ) 2 · 12H 2 O was studied by X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure was determined in a series of the maximal subgroups Pa 3̄ > R 3̄ > P 1̄ > P 1. Reflections forbidden in sp. gr. Pa 3̄ are indicative of symmetry lower than cubic. In the centrosymmetric models under consideration, all sulfate groups are oppositely oriented with respect to each other. In non-centrosymmetric sp. gr. P 1, four of the eight sulfate groups have the same orientation, whereas the other four groups are oriented in an opposite direction.
