The crystal structure of the mineral kröhnkite, Na2Cu(SO4)2(H2O)2, contains infinite chains composed of [CuO4(OH2)2] octahedra corner-linked with SO4 tetrahedra. Such or similar tetrahedral–octahedral `kröhnkite-type' chains are present in the crystal structures of numerous compounds with the composition AnM(XO4)2(H2O)2. The title compounds, (NH4)Mg(HSO4)(SO4)(H2O)2, ammonium magnesium hydrogen sulfate sulfate dihydrate, and NaSc(CrO4)2(H2O)2, sodium scandium bis(chromate) dihydrate, are members of the large family with such kröhnkite-type chains. At 100 K, (NH4)Mg(HSO4)(SO4)(H2O)2 has an unprecedented triclinic crystal structure and contains [MgO4(OH2)2] octahedra linked by SO3(OH) and SO4 tetrahedra into chains extending parallel to [\overline{1}10]. Adjacent chains are linked by very strong hydrogen bonds between SO3(OH) and SO4 tetrahedra into layers parallel to (111). Ammonium cations and water molecules connect adjacent layers through hydrogen-bonding interactions of medium-to-weak strength into a three-dimensional network. (NH4)Mg(HSO4)(SO4)(H2O)2 shows a reversible phase transition and crystallizes at room temperature in structure type E in the classification scheme for structures with kröhnkite-type chains, with half of the unit-cell volume for the resulting triclinic cell, and with disordered H atoms of the ammonium tetrahedron and the H atom between two symmetry-related sulfate groups. IR spectroscopic room-temperature data for the latter phase are provided. Monoclinic NaSc(CrO4)2(H2O)2 adopts structure type F1 in the classification scheme for structures with kröhnkite-type chains. Here, [ScO4(OH2)2] octahedra (point group symmetry \overline{1}) are linked by CrO4 tetrahedra into chains parallel to [010]. The Na+ cations (site symmetry 2) have a [6 + 2] coordination and connect adjacent chains into a three-dimensional framework that is consolidated by medium–strong hydrogen bonds involving the water molecules. Quantitative structural comparisons are made between NaSc(CrO4)2(H2O)2 and its isotypic NaM(CrO4)2(H2O)2 (M = Al and Fe) analogues.

The structure of the anticancer drug carmustine (1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea, C5H9Cl2N3O2) was successfully determined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data recorded at 278 K and at 153 K. Carmustine crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with Z = 4. The lattice parameters are a = 19.6935(2) Å, b = 9.8338(14) Å, c = 4.63542(6) Å, V = 897.71(2) ų at 153 K, and a = 19.8522(2) Å, b = 9.8843(15) Å, c = 4.69793(6) Å, V = 921.85(2) ų at 278 K. The Rietveld fits are very good, with low R-values and smooth difference curves of calculated and experimental powder data. The molecules form a one-dimensional hydrogen bond pattern. At room temperature, the investigated commercial sample of carmustine was amorphous.

We have investigated the Eu3+ ion luminescence spectra from different host crystals of the lanthanide sesquioxides exhibiting either the A, B, or C form. The Eu3+ ion luminescence spectra from B-type Eu2O3 and from Eu3+-doped A-type La2O3 and C-type Lu2O3 were obtained at room temperature. It is suggested that the luminescence from f-f transitions in the Eu3+ ion can be used to determine the crystal structure, because the different Eu3+ ion site symmetries in the different crystal structures give rise to different characteristic spectral splitting patterns.

AbstractThe two line 35Cl NQR spectrum of 4,5-dichloroimidazole was measured in the temperature range 77≦ T/K ≦ 389. The temperature dependence of the NQR frequencies conforms with the Bayer model and no phase transition is indicated in the curves v ( 35Cl)= f(T). Also the temperature coefficients of the 35Cl NQR frequencies are "normal". At 77 K the 35Cl NQR frequencies are 37.409 MHz and 36.172 MHz and at 389 K 35.758 MHz and 34.565 MHz. The compound crystallizes at room temperature with the tetragonal space group D44-P41212, Z = 8 molecules per unit cell; at 295 K : a = 684.2(5) pm, c = 2414.0(20) pm. The relations between the crystal structure and the NQR spectrum are discussed.

The idea of a structural landscape is based on the fact that a large number of crystal structures can be associated with a particular organic molecule. Taken together, all these structures constitute the landscape. The landscape includes polymorphs, pseudopolymorphs and solvates. Under certain circumstances, it may also include multi-component crystals (or co-crystals) that contain the reference molecule as one of the components. Under still other circumstances, the landscape may include the crystal structures of molecules that are closely related to the reference molecule. The idea of a landscape is to facilitate the understanding of the process of crystallization. It includes all minima that can, in principle, be accessed by the molecule in question as it traverses the path from solution to the crystal. Isonicotinamide is a molecule that is known to form many co-crystals. We report here a 2:1 co-crystal of this amide with 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid, wherein an unusual N−H⋯N hydrogen-bonded pattern is observed. This crystal structure offers some hints about the recognition processes between molecules that might be implicated during crystallization. Also included is a review of other recent results that illustrate the concept of the structural landscape.

In this investigation, ZrxY2−xVxMo3−xO12 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.4) is developed and the effects of the substitutions of Zr4+/V5+ for Y3+/Mo6+ in Y2Mo3O12 on the hygroscopicity and thermal expansion property are investigated. For the smaller substitution content (x ≤ 0.5), their crystal structures remain orthorhombic, while there is crystal water still in the lattice. The linear coefficients of thermal expansions (CTEs), for x = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7, are about −4.30 × 10−6, −0.97 × 10−6, 0.85 × 10−6, and 0.77 × 10−6 K−1, respectively, from 476 to 773 K, which means that the linear CTE could be changed linearly with the substitution content of Zr4+/V5+ for Y3+/Mo6+ in Y2Mo3O12. As long as the substitution content reaches x = 1.3/1.4, almost no hygroscopicity and low thermal expansion from room temperature are obtained and are discussed in relation to the crystal structure and microstructure.

The temperature dependence of 127I NQR and DSC as well as the crystal structure at room temperature of the title compound were determined. This compound shows a first-order phase transition of an order-disorder type at 245 K. Eight 127I(v1:m = ±1/2 ↔ ±3/2) NQR lines of 79.57, 81.86, 82.56, 83.36, 84.68, 87.72, 88.34, and 88.86 MHz, and corresponding eight 127I(v2: m = ±3/2 ↔±5/2) NQR lines were observed at liquid nitrogen temperature. Three 127I(υi) NQR lines wfth an intensity ratio of 1:1:2 in the order of decreasing frequency were observed just above the transition point and two NQR lines except for the middle-frequency line disappeared around room temperature. This temperature behavior of NQR lines is very similar to that observed in [N(CH3)4]2Hgl4. Another first-order phase transition takes place at 527 K. The structure of the room-temperature phase was redetermined: orthorhombic, Pnma, Z = 4, a = 1342.8(3), b = 975.7(2), c = 1696.5(3) pm. The NQR result of three lines with an intensity ratio of 1:1:2 is in agreement with this structure. The thermal displacement parameters of atoms in both cations and anions are large.

Abstract The crystal structure of MAPbI3, the signature compound of the hybrid halide perovskites, at room temperature has been a reason for debate and confusion in the past. Part of this confusion may be due to twinning as the material bears a phase transition just above room temperature, which follows a direct group–subgroup relationship and is prone to twinning. Using neutron Laue diffraction, we illustrate the nature of twinning in the room temperature structure of MAPbI3 and explain its origins from a group-theoretical point-of-view.
