The highly disordered crystal structure of triammonium hydrogen disulfate, (NH4)3H(SO4)2, in the high-temperature phase I was studied using single-crystal neutron diffraction. It is known that the O atom involved in hydrogen bonding between neighbouring SO4 tetrahedra is disordered and takes a split-atom position, building a two-dimensional hydrogen-bond network in the (001) plane. The H atoms in these SO4–H—SO4 hydrogen bonds are disordered and hence refined with a split-atom model. Moreover, from the much larger anisotropic mean-square displacements of ammonium protons the NH_4^+ groups were refined with a reasonable split-atom model, and their motional behaviour was also analysed by rigid-body treatment. Finally, careful consideration was given to show possible supplementary proton migration between the ammonium protons and those of the hydrogen bonds in this high-temperature phase.

AbstractFrom an investigation of the structures and electrical properties of compounds in the CsHSO4 - CsH2PO4 system, a simple model is presented for predicting whether or not a solid acid will undergo a structural transition to a disordered, superprotonic phase. Such a transition was measured in ß-Cs3(HSO4)2(H2-x(SxP1-x)O4), α-Cs3(HSO4)2(H2PO4) and Cs2(HSO4)(H2PO4), but not CsH2PO4. It is proposed that entropy drives any solid acid to a high-temperature structure in which the oxygen atoms participate equally in forming hydrogen bonds. If the H:XO4 ratio is not precisely 2:1, such chemical equivalence of oxygen atoms can only be achieved if the structure transforms to a state in which proton occupancies at hydrogen bonds are less than one and/or oxygen site occupancies are less than one. This disorder simultaneously leads to fast proton transport in the high-temperature phase, and thus superprotonic conductivity.

The high-temperature phase I of anhydrous caffeine was obtained by heating and annealing the purified commercial form II at 450 K. This phase I can be maintained at low temperature in a metastable state. A powder X-ray diffraction pattern was recorded at 278 K with a laboratory diffractometer equipped with an INEL curved position-sensitive detector CPS120. Phase I is dynamically orientationally disordered (the so-called plastic phase). The Rietveld refinements were achieved with rigid-body constraints. It was assumed that on each site, a molecule can adopt three preferential orientations with equal occupation probability. Under a deep undercooling of phase I, below 250 K, the metastable state enters in a glassy crystal state.

Abstract The phase transitions in CsSnCl3 and CsPbBr3 have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction, by 81Br-NQR and by 'H-, 119Sn-, and 113Cs-NMR. At room temperature in air CsSnCl3 forms a hydrate which can be dehydrated to the monoclinic phase II of CsSnCl3. The high temperature phase I has the Perovskite structure, as the X-ray and NMR experiments show. The three phases of CsPbBr3, known from literature, have been corroborated. The results are discussed in the framework of the group ABX3, A = alkalimetal ion, B = IV main group ion, and X = Halogen ion

Abstract Hypophosphorous acid, H3PO2 is dimorphic with a phase transition in the 200–225 K range. The H3PO2 molecules are connected by hydrogen bonding to infinite chains extending in the [100] direction. In the high-temperature phase (P21212, Z ′ = 1 2 ${Z}^{\prime }=\frac{1}{2}$ ), the hydrogen bonds are disordered about a two-fold rotation axis. On cooling below the phase transition temperature, the hydrogen bonds become ordered, resulting in a symmetry reduction of the klassengleiche type of index 2. In the low-temperature phase (P212121, Z ′ = 1 ${Z}^{\prime }=1$ ), the c parameter is doubled with respect to the high-temperature phase. The hydrogen-bonding topology of the high- and low-temperature phases are double-infinite directed and undirected linear graphs, respectively.
