“…Chemical analysis after the diffraction experiments showed Th 89.6%, C 10.18%, free C 1.0%, O 550 ppm, N 200 ppm. Observed intensities were determined by least-squares analysis of the diffraction data (Bowman, Wallace, Yarnell, Wenzel & Storms, 1965), and were fitted to trial structures by leastsquares solutions of the equation (Bacon, 1962) (Elliott & Hastings, 1961 ;Sequeira, 1965), space group Fm3m, with thorium atoms in (0,0,0) and C2 groups centered in (½,½,½). The data were fitted with free rotating C2 groups, with K=0.044+0.002, B=7.8+ 0.5, R = 0.04, dc-c = 1.24 + 0.04/~.…”
