The crystal structures of the four-membered heterocycles (S)-(−)-4-oxo-2-azetidinecarboxylic acid (I) and 3-azetidinecarboxylic acid (II) were solved by direct methods using powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction data. The asymmetry of the oxoazetidine and azetidine rings is discussed, along with the hydrogen bonding.

The crystal structures of three geotropically active phthalamic acid derivatives have been determined by means of X-ray diffraction and the structural systematics for the series compared. The three acids are conformationally similar and, in contrast to the tendency among carboxylic acids to form hydrogen-bonded dimers, they exist as monomers with intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the carboxylic acid groups and the nitrogen or oxygen of the amide side chains.

Two structurally different metal–organic frameworks based on Sr2+ ions and 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene linkers have been synthesized solvothermally in different solvent systems and studied with single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. These are poly[[μ12-4,4′,4′′,4′′′-(benzene-1,2,4,5-tetrayl)tetrabenzoato](dimethylformamide)distrontium(II)], [Sr2(C34H18O8)(C3H7NO)2] n , and poly[tetraaqua{μ2-4,4′-[4,5-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene-1,2-diyl]dibenzoato}tristrontium(II)], [Sr3(C34H20O8)2(H2O)4]. The differences are noted between the crystal structures and coordination modes of these two MOFs, which are responsible for their semiconductor properties, where structural control over the bandgap is desirable. Hydrogen bonding is present in only one of the compounds, suggesting it has a slightly higher structural stability.

The aldoximes C11H9NO (I) and C15H11NO (II), synthesized inca90% yield, by treatment of 1-naphthaldehyde or phenanthrene-9-carbaldehyde, respectively, with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and sodium carbonate, have been characterized by IR,1H,13C and DEPT-135 NMR spectroscopies, and also by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The molecules of (I) and (II) are conformationally similar, with the aldoxime substituent groups lying outside the planes of the naphthalene or phenanthrene rings, forming dihedral angles with them of 23.9 (4) and 27.9 (6)°, respectively. The crystal structures of both (I) and (II) are similar with a single intermolecular O—H...N hydrogen-bonding interaction, giving rise to the formation of one-dimensional polymeric chains extending along the 21(b) screw axes in each.

The crystal structures of six synthetic 2-oxa-steroids (A-ring lactone steroids) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The conformation and hydrogen bonding in these oxa-steroids is compared with packing motifs in the natural steroids and the anabolic agent, Anavar®. O—H...O hydrogen bonding with lactone carbonyl O is the preferred arrangement in molecules with a C—OH group. The donor H atoms of A, B and D rings participate in C—H...O interactions with lactone carbonyl O and D-ring hydroxyl/ketone O acceptor atoms. The conformation of the lactone ring in these analogues is different from the natural androgens because replacement of the C2-methylene group by an O atom changes the geometry of the A ring. Two structurally related lactone steroids provide the first example of O—H...O/C—H...O interaction mimicry and furthermore the two components form a binary solid solution. The O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds in 2-oxa-steroid crystal structures are analysed and the observed preferences discussed in terms of geometric and chemical factors.

The crystal structures of the Tutton salts (NH4)2-[Cu(H2O)6](SO4)2, diammonium hexaaquacopper disulfate, formed with normal water and isotopically substituted H2 18O, have been determined by X-ray diffraction at 9.5 K and are very similar, with Cu—O(7) the longest of the Cu—O bonds of the Jahn–Teller distorted octahedral [Cu(H2O)6]2+ complex. It is known that structural differences accompany deuteration of (NH4)2[Cu(H2O)6](SO4)2, the most dramatic of which is a switch to Cu—O(8) as the longest such bond. The present result suggests that the structural differences are associated with hydrogen-bonding effects rather than with increased mass of the water ligands affecting the Jahn–Teller coupling. The Jahn–Teller distortions and hydrogen-bonding contacts in the compounds are compared with those reported for other Tutton salts at ambient and high pressure.

The crystal structures of the racemate and the (S) enantiomer of (1-hydroxy-3-phenyl-2-propenyl) dimethylphosphonate, C11H15O4P, were determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystal density of the racemate was found to be 6.2% greater than the crystal density of the (S) enantiomer. In both crystal structures the molecules form chains by hydrogen bonding between the OH of one molecule and the P=O of another. Observed differences in atomic displacement between the two structures are discussed in view of the C—H...O interactions.

ZnO microsphere with aperture were synthesized using pure Zn powder as templates via thermal evaporation methods. X-ray diffraction pattern shows the change of crystal structures from Zn to ZnO. SEM and TEM images show that the samples prepared at low gas pressure have hollow ZnO microsphere with aperture. Compared with the morphologies of samples synthesized at high gas pressure, the growth mechanism of hollow ZnO microsphere with aperture is presumed in detail. The experimental results indicate that the evaporation of Zn inside the ZnO microsphere shell prompts the formation of hollow microsphere, and that the high pressure induces the breakage of weak locations to form the apertures, which eventually results in the appearance of ZnO microsphere with small pores and big apertures.
