2.2.6. Powder X-ray Diffraction Analysis

Powder X-ray diffraction pattern (*p*-XRD) of prepared **VEN**·**H2O** was obtained with an X'Pert PRO diffractometer (PANalytical, Almelo, Netherlands) equipped with a Ge(111) Johannson type monochromator in reflection mode using CuKa1 radiation (λ = 1.54060 Å) and the full range of the 128 channel linear RTMS detector. The diffractogram was recorded at a tube voltage of 45 kV, tube current of 40 mA, and applying a step size of 0.034◦ 2θ with an exposure time of 100 s per step in the angular range of 3◦ to 50◦ 2θ under ambient conditions. Since no characteristic reflections were visible above 40◦ 2θ, the diffractogram is shown in the range of 3–40◦ 2θ.
