The apohost form of a chiral trianglimine compound exists in at least three polymorphic forms. Despite similar packing arrangements, only two of these forms exhibit anomalous thermal expansion behaviour, and undergo thermally-induced interconversion.

A polar coordination polymer has been synthesised that exhibits anomalous anisotropic thermal expansion. The guest water molecules of the as-synthesised complex can be removed on activation without loss of crystal singularity to yield the fully dehydrated form that shows considerably different thermal expansion behaviour compared to its hydrated analogue.

The temperature variation of the Co2SiO4structural parameters has been investigated by means of both neutron powder and single-crystal diffraction. Measurements were performed in a broad temperature range from 5 to 500 K. There is clear evidence of an anomalous thermal expansion related to the magnetic phase transition at 50 K. Below this temperature an abrupt elongation and contraction were observed along thecandbaxes (space groupPnma), respectively, whereas the lattice parameteraremains constant in the range between 5 and 50 K. The resulting volume of the unit cell is contracted below 50 K. This phenomenon is attributed to magnetostriction effects. A model based on the specific heat capacity data was applied for the quantitative description of the anomalous thermal expansion behaviour. On the other hand, no anomalies can be observed in the temperature dependency of the interatomic distances and angles.

Solvent free (1) and solvated (2) 2D-coordination polymers have been synthesised where 1 shows the coexistence of linear NTE, PTE and ZTE owing to accordion motion and in 2, lateral sliding of the 2D layers leads to uniaxial NTE.

ABSTRACTHeating to temperatures up to 500°C, gives a reduction in Young's modulus and increase in permeability of granitic rocks and it is likely that a major reason is grain boundary cracking. The cracking of grain boundary facets in polycrystalline multiphase materials showing anisotropic thermal expansion behaviour is controlled by several microstructural factors in addition to the intrinsic thermal and elastic properties. Of specific interest are the relative orientations of the two grains meeting at the facet, and the size of the facet; these factors thus introduce two statistical aspects to the problem and these are introduced to give quantitative data on crack density versus temperature. The theory is compared with experimental measurements of Young's modulus and permeability for various rocks as a function of temperature. There is good qualitative agreement, and the additional (mainly microstructural) data required for a quantitative comparison are defined.
