Structural changes in the high-temperature ∊-polymorph of chlorpropamide, 4-chloro-N-(propylaminocarbonyl)benzenesulfonamide, C10H13ClN2O3S, on cooling down to 100 K and on reverse heating were followed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. At temperatures below 200 K the phase transition into a new polymorph (termed the ∊′-form) has been observed for the first time. The polymorphic transition preserves the space group Pna21, is reversible and is accompanied by discontinuous changes in the cell volume and parameters, resulting from changes in molecular conformation. As shown by IR spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction, the phase transition in a powder sample is inhomogeneous throughout the bulk, and the two phases co-exist in a wide temperature range. The cell parameters and the molecular conformation in the new polymorph are close to those in the previously known α-polymorph, but the packing of the z-shaped molecular ribbons linked by hydrogen bonds inherits that of the ∊-form and is different from the packing in the α-polymorph. A structural study of the α-polymorph in the same temperature range has revealed no phase transitions.

Experimental X-ray powder diffraction patterns and refined unit cell parameters for two barium hollandite-type compounds, BaxFe2xTi8−2xO16, with x=1.143 and 1.333, are reported here. Compared to the tetragonal parent structure, both compounds exhibit monoclinic distortions that increase with Ba content [Ba1.333Fe2.666Ti5.334O16: a=10.2328(8), b=2.9777(4), c=9.899(1) Å, β=91.04(1)°, V=301.58(5) Å3, Z=1, ρcalc=4.64 g/cc; Ba1.143Fe2.286Ti5.714O16: a=10.1066(6), b=2.9690(3), c=10.064(2) Å, β=90.077(6)°, V=301.98(4) Å3, Z=1, ρcalc=4.48 g/cc]. The X-ray powder patterns for both phases contain a number of broad, weak superlattice peaks attributed to ordering of the Ba2+ ions within the tunnels of the hollandite framework structure. According to the criteria developed by Cheary and Squadrito [Acta Crystallogr. B 45, 205 (1989)], the observed positions of the (0k1)/(1k0) superlattice peaks are consistent with the nominal x-values of both compounds, and the k values calculated from the corresponding d-spacings suggest that the Ba ordering within the tunnels is commensurate for x=1.333 and incommensurate for x=1.143. High-temperature X-ray diffraction data indicate that the x=1.333 compound undergoes a monoclinic→tetragonal phase transition between 310 and 360 °C.

The polymorphic phase transition of 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene (TCB) has been investigated using neutron powder diffraction and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The diffraction experiments show a reversible phase change that occurs as a function of temperature with no apparent loss of sample quality on transition between the two phases. Neutron powder diffraction gives detailed information on the molecular structural changes and lattice parameters from 2 K to room temperature. The structure of the low-temperature form has been elucidated for the first time using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Comparison of the α and β structures show that they are both based on the same sheet motif, with the differences between the two being very subtle, except in terms of crystal symmetry. Detailed analysis of the structures revealed the changes required for inter-conversion. A computational polymorph search showed that these two sheet structures are more thermodynamically stable than alternative herringbone-type structures.

The solid-state phase transitions of KNO3 were studied at atmospheric pressure in the temperature range 303 to 533 K by synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. The detectors used were (i) a curved position-sensitive detector and (ii) a moving imaging-plate system built for time-, temperature- and wavelength-dependent powder diffraction. On heating, the transition from α-KNO3 to β-KNO3 occurs at 401 K. On cooling with a cooling rate of 7 K min−1, the transition from β-KNO3 to γ-KNO3 was observed at 388 K. The phase transition from γ-KNO3 to α-KNO3 occurred at temperatures that strongly depended upon the cooling rate. With a high cooling rate of 15 K min−1 from 403 to 303 K, the γ-KNO3 phase was obtained as a pure phase at 303 K, but it was eventually transformed to α-KNO3 at this temperature, and the phase transition at 303 K was complete within 15 min. With a slow cooling rate of 0.5 K min−1 from 403 to 303 K, the γ-KNO3 phase was formed at 391 K and transformed at 370 K to α-KNO3. With a cooling rate of 7 K min−1 from 403 to 303 K, the γ-KNO3 phase transformed to α-KNO3 in a temperature range between 377 and 353 K. The two phases could exist simultaneously in temperature ranges that were apparently dependent upon the thermal history of the sample. The unit-cell parameters of γ-KNO3 from 383 K to room temperature are reported.

A cocrystal and a molecular salt of β-alanine and DL-tartaric acid, C3H8NO2 +·C4H4O6 −, of the same chemical composition, were studied over a wide temperature range by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. Neither the interconversion between the two phases nor any polymorphic transitions were observed in the temperature range from 100 K to the melting points. This contrasts with the solvent-mediated phase transition from the salt to the cocrystal in a slurry that has been documented earlier.

The structures of α-Ba3 RAl2O7.5 and β-Ba3 RM 2O7.5 complex oxides (R = rare-earth elements, M = Al, Ga) have been studied by a combination of X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction (ED) and high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). The α and β forms have cell parameters related to the perovskite subcell: a = 2a per, b = a per(2)1/2, c = 3a per(2)1/2, however, the α form has an orthorhombic unit cell whereas the β form adopts monoclinic symmetry. The crystal structure of monoclinic Ba3ErGa2O7.5 was refined from X-ray powder data (space group P2/c, a = 7.93617 (9), b = 5.96390 (7), c = 18.4416 (2) Å, β = 91.325 (1)°, R I = 0.023, R P = 0.053), the structure of the α form (space group Cmc21) was deduced from ED and HREM data. The important feature of the α and β structures is the presence of slabs containing strings of vertex-sharing tetrahedral Al2O7 pairs. Two almost equivalent oxygen positions within the strings can be occupied either in an ordered manner leading to the low-temperature β phase or randomly resulting in the high-temperature α structure. The critical temperature of this order–disorder phase transition was determined by high-temperature X-ray diffraction and by differential thermal analysis (DTA). In situ ED and HREM observations of the second-order phase transition confirmed the symmetry changes and revealed numerous defects (twins and antiphase boundaries) formed during the phase transformation.

For the first time, double gadolinium tellurites of the composition GdMIITeO4.5 (MII — Sr, Ba) were synthesized by the solid-phase method. The solid-phase synthesis of samples was carried out from decrepitated gadolinium (III) and tellurium (IV) oxides, strontium, and barium carbonates according to the standard ceramic technology. The synthesis was carried out in the temperature range of 800-1100 °C. The samples obtained were confirmed by X-ray phase analysis. X-ray phase analysis was carried out on an Empyrean instrument in the XRDML Pananalitical format. The intensity of the diffraction maxima was estimated on a 100-point scale. X-ray diffraction patterns indexing of the powder of gadolinium tellurites — alkaline earth metals studied were carried out by the homology method. The reliability and correctness of the results of indexing the X-ray diffraction patterns are confirmed by the good agreement between the experimental and calculated values of the interplanar distances (d) and the agreement between the values of the X-ray and pycnometric densities. It was found that compounds GdSrTeO4.5 and GdBaTeO4.5 crystallize in the monoclinic system and have the unit cell parameters, namely GdSrTeO4.5 — a = 12.7610, b = 10.4289, c = 8.6235 Å, V° = 1141.83 Å3, β = 95.77°, Z = 5, ρrent. = 3.22, ρpikn. = (3.10±0.09) g/cm3; GdBaTeO4.5 — a = 15.7272, b = 15.8351, c = 7.1393 Å, V° = 1769.72 Å3, β = 95.53°, Z = 8, ρrent = 3.71, ρpick = (3.61±0.10) g/cm3. Using the Landiya method, the standard heat capacities of the compounds were estimated from the calculated values of the standard entropies, and the temperature dependences of the heat capacities of the gadolinium tellurites synthesized were determined in the temperature range of 298–850 K.

Studies of the temperature dependence of the electrical properties of glasses show that the high-temperature annealing in glasses observed irreversible processes. These processes lead to changes in electrical conductivity, dielectric permittivity, and hence the electrical capacitance, dielectric loss tangent, and other parameters. Obviously, this is due to structural changes in the glass as a result of high-temperature annealing. In this regard, this paper presents studies of structural and phase transformations in glasses used for the production of microchannel plates in the process of high-temperature annealing in vacuum and in the air atmosphere at different times. The studies were conducted by x-ray phase and X-ray diffraction analysis, as well as X-ray fluorescence elemental analysis.
