A simple all-glass cryostat, based on the LeRoy low-temperature fractionating column, is described. It can be used for the separation, purification, and the determination of vapour pressures of volatile and gaseous compounds in the temperature range -196 �C to room temperature. The vapour pressures of boron trimethyl have been remeasured and the reliability of Stock's data is confirmed.

Acenaphthylene, C 12 H 8 , occurs in space group Pbam (or Pba2) at room temperatures (23 °C) with a = 7.705 (5), b = 7.865 (5), c = 14.071 (5) Å and Z = 4, and is disordered. At about 130 K it undergoes a reversible transition to space group P2 1 nm with a = 7.588 (13), b = 7.549 (10), c = 27.822 (2) Å and Z = 8 (85 K) with an ordered structure. A general study of the system has revealed that the structure of both forms consists of layers of closely packed molecules stacked in the c direction. The room temperature structure has a two-layer repeat and the low temperature form a four-layer repeat. Observation of diffuse X-ray diffraction effects at temperatures close to the transition indicates that an intermediate form having a six-layer repeat is formed. A preliminary structure determination of the low-temperature form reveals that the four layers though having a similar packing scheme differ in the orientation of the constituent molecules relative to c . It is proposed that the almost circular shape of the molecules allows each layer to change its identity under thermal agitation by a rotation of its constituent molecules in their own planes. The transition can be explained in terms of changes of the correlations between neighbouring layers. A simple model based on short-range order parameters is described, which explains the occurrence of the six-layer intermediate and the observed sequence of diffuse diffraction phenomena. The nature of the structure of the disordered room temperature form, which is predicted by this model, is confirmed as far as possible with the data available which are limited because of the dearth of high-angle diffraction maxima.

The effect of negative temperatures on strength characteristics of plastic component joints (hot gas welding, gluing, 3D-welding) made with the use of additive technologies has been examined. It has been found out that 3D-wlding allows one to produce joints with the highest strength properties. It was shown that low temperature values (–30 °С) did not have the negative influence on strength properties of ABS-plastic joints but even increased them as compared with analogues samples tested at the room temperature.

A new polymorph of (E)-4-bromo-2-[(phenylimino)methyl]phenol, C13H10BrNO, is reported, together with a low-temperature structure determination of the previously published polymorph. Both polymorphs were found to have an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond between the phenol OH group and the imine N atom, forming an S(6) ring. The crystals were observed to have different colours at room temperature, with the previously published polymorph being more orange and the new polymorph more yellow. The planarity of the molecule in the two polymorphs was found to be significantly different, with dihedral angles (Φ) between the two aromatic rings for the previously published `orange' polymorph of Φ = 1.8 (2)° at 120 K, while the new `yellow' polymorph had Φ = 45.6 (1)° at 150 K. It was also observed that both polymorphs displayed some degree of thermochromism and upon cooling the `orange' polymorph became more yellow, while the `yellow' polymorph became paler upon cooling.

K2Sc[Si2O6]F exhibits, at room temperature, a (3 + 2)-dimensional incommensurately modulated structure [a= 8.9878 (1),c= 8.2694 (2) Å,V= 668.01 (2) Å3; superspace groupP42/mnm(α,α,0)000s(−α,α,0)0000] with modulation wavevectorsq1= 0.2982 (4)(a* +b*) andq2= 0.2982 (4)(−a* +b*). Its low-temperature behaviour has been studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Down to 45 K, the irrational component α of the modulation wavevectors is quite constant varying from 0.2982 (4) (RT), through 0.2955 (8) (120 K), 0.297 (1) (90 K), 0.298 (1) (75 K), to 0.299 (1) (45 K). At 25 K it approaches the commensurate value of one-third [i.e.0.332 (3)]: thus indicating that the incommensurate–commensurate phase transition takes place between 45 K and 25 K. The commensurate lock-in phase of K2Sc[Si2O6]F has been solved and refined with a 3 × 3 × 1 supercell compared with the tetragonal incommensurately modulated structure stable at room temperature. This corresponds to a 3 × 1 × 3 supercell in the pseudo-orthorhombic monoclinic setting of the low-temperature structure, space groupP2/m, with lattice parametersa= 26.786 (3),b= 8.245 (2)c= 26.824 (3) Å, β = 90.00 (1)°. The structure is a mixed tetrahedral–octahedral framework composed of chains of [ScO4F2] octahedra that are interconnected by [Si4O12] rings with K atoms in fourfold to ninefold coordination. Distorted [ScO4F2] octahedra are connected to distorted Si tetrahedra to form octagonal arrangements closely resembling those observed in the incommensurate structure of fresnoite- and melilite-type compounds.

By using helium in both the solid and the fluid state as a pressure-transmitting medium, it has been possible to measure the resistance of rubidium over the temperature range from 2° K. to room temperature at pressures up to 2500 atmospheres. In particular the effect of pressure on the transition at ~200° K., on the low temperature ideal resistivity, and on the residual resistivity was examined.

The damping capacity of Fe-Ga rods and sheets has been studied using a computer-controlled automatic inverted torsion pendulum instruments in a wide temperature range in a series of frequency. The frequency and temperature has different influence on the damping capacity of solidified Fe83Ga17 rods and (Fe83Ga17)97.25Cr2B0.75 sheets. The damping capacity of all specimens increased with frequencies. The solidified Fe-Ga rods showed an obvious low-temperature peak and a potential high-temperature peak with increasing temperature. However, the damping capacity of Fe-Ga sheets kept steady in a wide temperature range and then rapidly increased on further heating above 400°C. Damping capacity of about 0.02 was obtained in both Fe-Ga rods and sheets at temperatures from room temperature to 500°C. Thus, The Fe-Ga alloys are considered to be a class of promising high damping alloys.
