Notes. Original powder data were corrected for the influence of the PE embedding, crystal absorption coefficients were transformed into comparable data by means of the CDE model (for details see Mutschke et al. 2013).

References. Literature data were taken from [1] Chihara et al. (2001) and [2] Mutschke et al. (2013).
