The supramolecular inclusion complexes of two mandelic acid-based chiral host compounds with dimethylformamide (DMF), (1) and (2), show reversible solid–solid state phase transitions upon lowering the temperature. For both inclusion complexes, the low- [(1a) and (2a) at 170 K] and the high- [(1b) at 250 and (2b) at 270 K] temperature structures were solved. (R)-1,1-Bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)-2-phenylethan-1,2-diol–dimethylformamide (1/1), C28H34O2.C3H7NO (1a), T = 170 K, monoclinic, P21, a = 14.4530 (14), b = 6.0540 (2), c = 16.1117 (14) Å, β = 105.332 (7)°, V = 1359.6 (2) Å3, Z = 2, D x = 1.162 g cm−3; (1b), T = 250 K, monoclinic, P21, a = 24.8110 (20), b = 6.0739 (2), c = 18.8645 (10) Å, β = 98.100 (6)°, V = 2814.5 (3) Å3, Z = 4, D x = 1.123 g cm−3. (R)-1,1-Bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)-2-(4-methylphenyl)ethan-1,2-diol–dimethylformamide (1/1), C29H36O2.C3H7NO (2a), T = 170 K, monoclinic, P21, a = 24.4457 (38), b = 5.9519 (6), c = 20.4609 (38) Å, β = 101.95 (1)°, V = 2912.5 (8) Å3, Z = 4, D x = 1.117 g cm−3; (2b), T = 270 K, triclinic, P1, a = 14.4172 (28), b = 6.0303 (4), c = 17.5636 (56) Å, α = 88.74 (1), β = 101.43 (2), γ = 93.13 (1)°, V = 1494.4 (6) Å3, Z = 2, D x = 1.088 g cm−3. The low-temperature forms have the higher crystallographic symmetry. In (1b) half of the DMF guests are twisted by 45.0° with respect to those in (1a). A comparative discussion of the four crystal packings is presented.

We report anelastic spectroscopy measurements of La 1-x Ca x MnO 3 performed in order to better characterize the nature of the phase transitions and microscopic lattice relaxation processes present in these materials. A peak in the imaginary part of the elastic susceptibility presents a behaviour typical of inhomogeneous and glass-like systems. We have performed a quantitative analysis calculating the temperature dependent distribution function of the energy barriers of the fluctuations characterizing this nanostructured state.

The synthesis, single-crystal structures and chromic behaviour of three related Schiff bases, namely, (E)-2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-{[(4-fluorophenyl)imino]methyl}phenol, C21H26FNO, 1, (E)-2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-{[(4-chlorophenyl)imino]methyl}phenol, C21H26ClNO, 2, and (E)-6-{[(4-bromophenyl)imino]methyl}-2,4-di-tert-butylphenol, C21H26BrNO, 3, are reported. Two polymorphs of 1 were obtained, which were found to have different photochromic properties. Schiff bases 2 and 3 were found to be isostructural and underwent a phase transition upon cooling which was attributed to the dynamic disorder in one of the tert-butyl groups resolving at low temperature. All of the structures were found to exist in the enol rather than the keto form based on the C—O(H) and imine C=N bond lengths, and contained an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond alongside weaker intermolecular C—H...O contacts.

Essential oils are widely recognized as natural alternatives to pharmaceutical antibacterial and antifungal agents. With respect to standard pharmaceutics, the advantages of essential oils are their (i) low production costs, (ii) lack of chemical and biochemical drawbacks that are intrinsic to the synthetic production process and (iii) good tolerance by humans. On the other hand, the liquid nature of essential oils poses concerns about their actual application in different therapeutic issues regarding their persistence and the ability to control or prolong drug release. In this study, two essential oils from oregano and winter savory showing antibacterial and antifungal features were complexed in a solid state with beta-cyclodextrin. Host–guest inclusion complexes were characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy, ESI-MS and GC-MS techniques. Manyfold terpenic and non-terpenic components of the oils could be observed and unambiguously identified as being included inside the carbohydrate hosts. Many of them provided a specific biocidal action. Indeed, essential oil host–guest inclusion products were tested against two Candida species and an S. aureus reference strain, showing that the oils effectively maintained their liquid performances. Solid-state tablets of the essential oil inclusion complexes embedded in polyvinylpyrrolidone could be obtained. These results pave the way for the solid-state application of essential oils in antibacterial and antifungal pharmaceutical treatments.

AbstractThe temperature-dependent structure-property relationships of the aluminosilicate perrhenate sodalite |Na8(ReO4)2|[AlSiO4]6 (ReO4-SOD) were analysed via powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Raman spectroscopy and heat capacity measurements. ReO4-SOD shows two phase transitions in the investigated temperature range (13 K < T < 1480 K). The first one at 218.6(1) K is correlated to the transition of dynamically ordered $P\overline{4}3n$ (> 218.6(1 K) to a statically disordered (<218.6(1) K) SOD template in $P\overline{4}3n$. The loss of the dynamics of the template anion during cooling causes an increase of disorder, indicated by an unusual intensity decrease of the 011-reflection and an increase of the Re-O2 bond length with decreasing temperature. Additionally, Raman spectroscopy shows a distortion of the ReO4 anion. Upon heating the thermal expansion of the sodalite cage originated in the tilt-mechanism causes the second phase transition at 442(1) K resulting in a symmetry-increase from $P\overline{4}3n$ to $Pm\overline{3}n$, the structure with the sodalites full framework expansion. Noteworthy is the high decomposition temperature of 1320(10) K.

Abstract The structures of the equiatomic stannides RERhSn with the smaller rare earth elements Y, Gd-Tm and Lu were reinvestigated on the basis of temperature-dependent single crystal X-ray diffraction data. GdRhSn crystallizes with the aristotype ZrNiAl at 293 and 90 K. For RE = Y, Tb, Ho and Er the HP-CeRuSn type (approximant with space group R3m) is already formed at room temperature, while DyRhSn adopts the HP-CeRuSn type below 280 K. TmRhSn and LuRhSn show incommensurate modulated variants with superspace groups P31m(1/3; 1/3; γ) 000 (No. 157.1.23.1) (γ = 3/8 for TmRhSn and γ = 2/5 for LuRhSn). The driving force for superstructure formation (modulation) is a strengthening of Rh–Sn bonding. The modulation is expressed in a 119Sn Mössbauer spectrum of DyRhSn at 78 K through line broadening.
