Ismael,
You do really not need exact parameters which can is helpful in EXAFS. Can
you find any references on the V-C bond length? Since CO is linear, the
V-O and V-C-O scattering should be possible to roughly establish. I think
a number of general inorganic textbooks might have information such as this
on metal carbonyl bonding. If the lattice parameters are not too
different, start with simple octahedral geometry and the quick first shell
fit using V-C bond length.
buena salud,

Dear XAS fellows:
I have to fit EXAFS data of a nanoparticle colloidal suspension. TEM and NMR data indicate that I have nanoparticles of V(CO)_6 (vanadium hexacarbonyl). The system is orthorhombic, space group Pnma (Nr. 62), and I know the nominal values for the lattice parameters. However, I need the different atomic positions/coordinates to enter in ATOMS. Usually I get such information from a CIF (Crystallographic Information File) card. But in this case, I didn´t find it in the open data banks.
Is anyone out there that could help me?
Cheers, Ismael.
PS: A similar structure/material would also help (like Mo(CO)_6)!
