A recently published report on a new low-temperature phase transition in CsPbBr3 was verified. We provide strong evidence that the room-temperature orthorhombic phase of the crystal is stable at least up to 95 K.

The new ambient-temperature hexagonal (space group P63 /mmc) polymorph of tripotassium ytterbium(III) disilicate (β-K3YbSi2O7) has been synthesized by the high-temperature flux method and subsequently structurally characterized. In the course of the temperature-dependent single-crystal diffraction experiments, a phase transformation of β-K3YbSi2O7 to a novel low-temperature orthorhombic phase (β′-K3YbSi2O7, space group Cmcm) has been observed at about 210 K. β-K3YbSi2O7 is isostructural with K3ErSi2O7, whereas β′-K3YbSi2O7 adopts a new type of structure. Both compounds can be built up from a regular alternation of layers of two types, which are parallel to the (001) plane. In the octahedral layer, YbO6 octahedra are isolated and linked by K1O6+3 polyhedra. The second, slightly thicker sorosilicate layer is formed by a combination of Si2O7 dimers and K2O6+3 polyhedra. The boundary between the layers is a pseudo-kagome oxide sheet based on 3.6.3.6 meshes. The phase transition is due to a tilt of the two SiO4 tetrahedra forming a single dimer which induces a decrease of the Si—O—Si angle between bridging Si—O bonds from 180° (dictated by symmetry in space group P63/mmc) to ≃164°. Magnetic characterization indicates that K3YbSi2O7 remains paramagnetic down to 2 K, showing no apparent influence of the phase transformation on its magnetic properties. Analysis of the magnetization data revealed the positions of the three lowest crystal field levels of the Yb3+ cations, as well as the corresponding projections of their angular momentum on the direction of the magnetic field.

Single-crystal neutron diffraction experiments at 100 and 2.5 K have been performed to determine the structure of 3-(pyridin-4-yl)pentane-2,4-dione (HacacPy) with respect to its protonation pattern and to monitor a low-temperature phase transition. Solid HacacPy exists as the enol tautomer with a short intramolecular hydrogen bond. At 100 K, its donor···acceptor distance is 2.450 (8) Å and the compound adopts space group C2/c, with the N and para-C atoms of the pyridyl ring and the central C of the acetylacetone substituent on the twofold crystallographic axis. As a consequence of the axial symmetry, the bridging hydrogen is disordered over two symmetrically equivalent positions, and the carbon–oxygen bond distances adopt intermediate values between single and double bonds. Upon cooling, a structural phase transition to the t 2 subgroup P\bar 1 occurs; the resulting twins show an ordered acetylacetone moiety. The phase transition is fully reversible but associated with an appreciable hysteresis in the large single crystal under study: transition to the low-temperature phase requires several hours at 2.5 K and heating to 80 K is required to revert the transformation. No significant hysteresis is observed in a powder sample, in agreement with the second-order nature of the phase transition.

ABSTRACTIn α-C5n-HNO3 the condensation of the room-temperature liquid-like diffuse ring associated with the disorder-order transition around 250 K is studied and the low-temperature. superstructure is examined.It is found that β-C8n-HNO3 exhibits an in-plane incommensurate order at room temperature.Two types of graphite-Br2 are found. Low-temperature phase transitions in C8Br are observed at T1 ≍ 277 K and T2 ≍ 297 K. The room-temperature structure of C14Br is reexamined. Special attention is given to diffuse scattering and incommensurability.
