• degree of CO2 loading [52][64]. The intramolecular angle of CO2 is a matter of debate due to conflicting findings. Neutron diffraction profiles unexpectedly seem to predict large apparent O–C–O bond bending, that is, bond angles of 160–167° [63][66], while theoretical calculations based on DFT only

The RMC method, based on the

• , neutron diffraction is generally preferred over X-ray diffraction to determine the degree of long-range order in FeCo alloy [14]. However, neutron diffraction is not applicable for the low quantities of matter in our samples. Moreover, at finite size we also have to take into account the shape factor that
