[NH2(CH3)2]3Sb2Cl9 (dimethylammonium nonachlorodiantimonate, DMACA) has, at 200 K, a monoclinic Pc space group, with a = 9.470 (3), b = 9.034 (3), c = 14.080 (4) Å, β = 95.81 (3)°, V = 1198.4 (4) Å3, Z = 2 [R = 0.024, wR = 0.025 for 4613 independent reflections with F > 4σ(F)]. At 298 K DMACA has P21/c space group with a = 9.686 (3), b = 9.037 (3), c = 14.066 (4) Å, β = 95.57 (3)°, V = 1225.3 (5) Å3, Z = 2 [R = 0.034, wR = 0.035 for 2736 reflections with F > 4σ(F)]. The anionic sublattice of DMACA consists of polyanionic (Sb2Cl9 3−), layers. In the low-temperature phase there are three crystallographically non-equivalent dimethylammonium cations in the crystal structure. One of the cations is located inside the polyanionic layers, two others – one ordered and one disordered – between the polyanionic layers. In the room-temperature phase there are two non-equivalent cations – both disordered – in the crystal structure. Temperature dependencies of lattice parameters between 200 and 300 K were determined. The occurrence of a second-order phase transition at T = 242 K was confirmed. The dependence of lengths of Sb—Cl contacts on the presence and strength of N—H...CI hydrogen bonds was discussed. It was found that lengths of Sb—Cl bonds may differ from each other by as much as 0.3 Å, because of the presence of N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds. These differences were attributed to distortion of the lone-electron pair on antimony(Ill).

For crystals of ammonium hydrogen succinate it is known that the space group is P{\bar 1} with Z = 2 at 293 K and the second-order phase transition occurs around 170 K. X-ray crystal structure analyses above and below 170 K have been carried out in order to study the change in mode of short hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen succinate ions. The space group was determined to be P{\bar 1} at 150 and 190 K by structure analysis. No ordering of the H-atom positions in the short hydrogen bonds occurs by the phase transition. The hydrogen bonds show a decrease in the O...O distances with a decrease in temperature from 290 to 190 K, but no significant change in the geometries between 190 and 150 K. Disorder of the NH4 + ion is not observed at 297, 190 and 150 K. Significant change through the phase transition is found only in the geometry of one of the N—H...O hydrogen bonds between ammonium and hydrogen succinate ions.

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.

Tetramethylammonium cyanide crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/nmm, Z = 2, with cell dimensions a = 773.6(1), c = 546.8(1) pm. The cyanide ion is disordered in the plane perpendicular to the c-axis indicating a rotation. The room temperature phase undergoes a thermal phase transition at -59.9°C probably caused by an order-disorder transition of the cyanide ion.

The crystal structure of the antiferroelectric phase of TlD2PO4, deuterated thallium dihydrogenphosphate, has been determined from single-crystal neutron diffraction data collected at room temperature. The para-antiferroelectric transition (T_c^d = 353 K) of TlD2PO4 is analysed from a structural point of view and compared with the phase transition of TlH2PO4 at TI = 357 K, already characterized. The distinct phase sequences observed in the two compounds when decreasing temperature from that of the high-temperature prototype phase (prototype phase/room-temperature phase/low-temperature phase) are discussed and associated with the different ordering of the two crystallographically inequivalent H (D) atoms existing in the prototype phase.

Abstract Ba2Na(CN2)(CN)3 was obtained by the reaction of Ba2N with melamine and NaCN at 700 °C. The compound was structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray investigations (Fd3̄m, a = 1518.8(3) pm, Z = 16). In the crystal structure the Ba2+ ions form a cubic close packed arrangement, the Na+ and the CN2-2 ions occupy the octahedral interstices. The CN-ions are located within the close packed Ba2+ layers. The unit cell of Ba2Na(CN2)(CN)3 contains two interpenetrating substructures of the zinc-blende structure type, building up a variant of NaTl. A reversible phase transition has been observed during cooling of the compound. Whereas the Ba2(CN2)(CN)3 sublattice remains nearly unaffected in this process, the Na+ ions of the low-temperature phase are statistically distributed on two crystallographic positions.

The structure of cholesterol above the (304.8 K) phase transition, previously published in preliminary form [Hsu & Nordman (1983). Science, 220, 604–606], has been fully refined using augmented X-ray data. The crystals are triclinic, space group P1, with (reassigned) cell parameters a = 27.565 (10), b = 38.624 (16), c = 10.748 (4) Å, α = 93.49 (3), β = 90.90 (3), γ = 117.15 (3)°, and V = 10151 (7) Å3. The unit cell contains Z = 16 molecules, of which eight are related to the other eight by unusual twofold rotational pseudosymmetry. The structure is related to the room-temperature phase, with Z = 8, by a rearrangement of some of the molecules, and by a doubling of the a axis.

AbstractThe crystal structure of (CH3)4NTlCl4 and (C2H5)4NTlCl4 was determined at room temperature by single crystal technique. (CH3)4NTlCl4: D2h17-Cmmm; Z = 2; a = 913.2pm, b = 894.6 pm, c = 752.5 pm; (C2H5)4NTlCl4: C6v4-P63mc; Z = 2; a = 827.9 pm, c = 1329.8 pm. (C2H5)4NTlCl4 is isomorphous with (C2H5)4NInCl4. The compounds undergoe a phase transition at 239 K and 222 K, respectively. For both compounds no35 Cl NQR signal was observable in the high temperature phase I due to the dynamics of the anion. The 35 Cl NQR was studied in the low temperature phase II of both compounds as a function of temperature. (CH3)4NTlCl4 shows a two line, (C2H5)4NTlCl4 a four line spectrum. The possible phase II structures and the dynamics of the cation, studied by 1H-NMR, are discussed

The crystal structure of the room-temperature ferroelectric phase of pyridinium periodate [C6H5NH]+[IO4]- has been determined by X-ray diffraction as orthorhombic, space group Cmc2i with a = 8.347(2), b = 7.270(2), c = 12.732(3) Å and Z = 4. It was refined to R1 =0.0281 wR2 = 0.0762 for 389 absorption-corrected reflections. The structure comprises isolated IO4 tetrahedra linked together by disordered pyridinium cations involved in a network of bifurcated hydrogen bonds. The average I-O distance is found to be 1.75(1) Å.
