Abstract

Using X-ray powder diffraction technique, diffraction pattern of compound of 2,2-diphenyl-[1,3,2]dithiagermole-4,5-dicarbonitrile was recorded. Profiting pattern, the crystal lattice and crystallographic parameters of the title compound were determined using analytic method and ITO computer program. According to the analytical method, the crystal system is monoclinic and unit cell parameters are; a=15.7202 Å, b=14.0053 Å, c=15.2543 Å, β=105.265º. Using ITO program, the type of crystal lattice was found as monoclinic and parameters of unit cell are a=15.7630 Å, b=14.0094 Å, c=15.3186 Å, β=105.451º. The results of the program are in agreement with  those of analytical method.
