Transition Behaviour

The crystal structure of phase III of perdeuterocyclohexanone, C6D10O, has been determined at 5 K using high-resolution neutron powder diffraction. Below its melting point of 245 K cyclohexanone forms a plastic crystal in the space group Fm\bar 3m. On cooling below 225 K the crystal transforms to the monoclinic phase III structure in the space group P21/n. The orthorhombic phase II structure exists under high pressure, but the triple point for all three phases is close to atmospheric pressure. Details of the phase II structure are also reported at 4.8 kbar (273 K) and ambient pressure. The phase behaviour of the compound and isotope effects are discussed.

Excitonic Insulator

The crystal structure of the excitonic insulator Ta2NiSe5has been investigated under a range of pressures, as determined by the complementary analysis of both single-crystal and powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements. The monoclinic ambient-pressure excitonic insulator phase II transforms upon warming or under a modest pressure to give the semiconductingC-centred orthorhombic phase I. At higher pressures (i.e.>3 GPa), transformation to the primitive orthorhombic semimetal phase III occurs. This transformation from phase I to phase III is a pressure-induced first-order phase transition, which takes place through coherent sliding between weakly coupled layers. This structural phase transition is significantly influenced by Coulombic interactions in the geometric arrangement between interlayer Se ions. Furthermore, upon cooling, phase III transforms into the monoclinic phase IV, which is analogous to the excitonic insulator phase II. Finally, the excitonic interactions appear to be retained despite the observed layer sliding transition.

Low Temperature Phase

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.

A phase transition has been observed in bis(pyridinium) hexachlorometallates (C5H5NH)2[MIVCl6]. M = Sn. Te. Pb. Pt. The crystal structure of the low temperature phase II of the salt with M = Sn was determined, space group C 1ḷ- P 1̅, Z = 1 (a = 734.1pm, b = 799.0 pm, c = 799.7 pm,α= 83.229°. β = 65.377°, γ= 84.387°, T = 297 K). The four compounds are isotypic in phase II as well as in the high temperature phase I (C2H2-B2 /m, Z = 2) for which the crystal structure is known for M = Te . The lattice constants of all compounds (both phases) are given. The temperature dependence of the 35Cl NQR spectrum was investigated. The three line 35Cl NQR spectrum is in agreement with the crystal structure. The dynamics of the pyridinium ring shows up in a fade out of part of the 35Cl NQR spectrum . The influence o f H ↔ D exchange on 35Cl NQR is studied and an assignment of ν (35Cl) ↔ Cl(i) is proposed. The nature of the phase transition P1̅ (Z = 1) ↔ B2 /m (Z = 2) is discussed.

4,6-Dimethoxy-3-methyldihydrotriazine-2-one (1) undergoes a single-crystal to single-crystal reversible phase transformation at 319 K. The low-temperature phase crystallizes in monoclinic space group P21/n with two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The high-temperature phase is obtained by heating a single crystal of the low-temperature phase. This phase is orthorhombic, space group Pnma, with the molecules occupying a crystallographic mirror plane. The enthalpy of the transformation is 1.34 kJ mol−1. The small energy difference between the two phases and the minimal atomic movement facilitate the single-crystal to single-crystal reversible phase transformation with no destruction of the crystal lattice. On further heating, the high-temperature phase undergoes methyl rearrangement in the solid state. 2,4,6-Trimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine (3), on the other hand, undergoes an irreversible phase transformation from single-crystal to polycrystalline material at 340 K with an enthalpy of 3.9 kJ mol−1; upon further heating it melts and methyl rearrangement takes place.

Low Temperature Phase

Incommensurately modulated ammonium tetrafluoroberyllate (AFB) occurs in a narrow temperature interval between the paraelectric room-temperature phase with space group Pnma (Ti = 178 K) and the ferroelectric low-temperature phase with space group Pna21 (Tc = 173 K). The structure is determined from accurate single-crystal X-ray diffraction data collected with synchrotron radiation at 175 K. The superspace group of the structure is Pnma(α00)0ss with α = 0.4796 (4). Both structure refinements and the maximum entropy method lead to the same structure model, which involves only single harmonic modulations. The building units of the structure are BeF_4^{2-} and NH_4^+ complex ions with approximately tetrahedral point symmetry. They are relatively rigid and the modulations consist mainly of translations of the tetrahedra and their rotations around a fixed axis. The modulation is related to changes in the network of the hydrogen bonds. The low-temperature superstructure can be described as a commensurately modulated structure with the same superspace symmetry. The first harmonic modulations of the low-temperature and incommensurate phases are related by a scale factor with a value of approximately two. In addition, the low-temperature phase exhibits a second harmonic modulation that is responsible for shifts along c and the ferroelectricity in this phase. The experimental data of the incommensurate phase do not contain any evidence for the presence of a second harmonic in the modulation functions. This suggests that the development of the second harmonic, i.e. the development of the spontaneous polarization, is responsible for the lock-in transition.

AbstractThe temperature dependence of 35Cl NQR frequencies and the phase transition behaviour of chloroacetanilides (N-[2,6-dichlorophenyl]-2-chloroacetamide, -2,2-dichloroacetamide, -2,2,2-trichloroacetamide) were investigated. The crystal structure determination of N-[2,6-dichlorophenyl]- 2-chloroacetamide leads to the following: a = 1893.8 pm, b = 1110.7 pm, c = 472.1 pm, space group P212121 = D24 with Z = 4 molecules per unit cell. The arrangement of the molecules and their geometry is comparable to the high temperature phase of the acetyl compound N-[2,6-dichlorophenyl]- acetamide. For N-[2,6-diclorophenyl]-2,2,2-trichloroacetamide it was found: a = 1016.6 pm, b = 1194.3 pm, c = 1006.7 pm, ß= 101.79°, space group P21/c = C52h, Z = 4. The structure is similar to the low temperature phase of N-[2,6-dichlorophenyl]-acetamide. Parallelism between the temperature dependence of the 35C1 NQR lines of the CCl3 group and the X-ray diffraction results concerning the different behaviour of the chlorine atoms was observed. The structures of the compounds show intermolecular hydrogen bonding of the N - H • • • O - C type. The phenyl group and the HNCO function are nearly planar. A bleaching out of several 35Cl NQR lines at a temperature far below the melting point of the substances was observed. The different types of chlorine atoms (aromatic, chloromethyl) can be distinguished by their temperature coefficients of the 35Cl NQR frequencies. All the resonances found show normal "Bayer" temperature behaviour. N-[2,6-dichlorophenyl]-2,2-diehloroacetamide shows several solid phases. One stable low temperature phase and an instable high temperature phase (at room temperature) were observed. The different phases were detected by means of 35Cl NQR spectroscopy and thermal analysis
