Two hydrogen-bonded, well defined compounds were synthesized from tris(2,6-diisopropyl)phenoxysilanethiol (TDST) and triethylamine (TDST–TEA) or pyridine (TDST–py). The crystalline compounds were characterized in the solid state by variable-temperature X-ray diffraction measurements and ATR FT–IR spectroscopy. The toluene solutions of TDST–TEA and TDST–py were studied by NMR spectroscopy. The total hydrogen-bond energies and FT–IR spectra were calculated with the use of BLYP-D/TZP and B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)/GD3BJ methods. Thermochemical parameters and potential energy scans were calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)/GD3BJ level. All results point to the higher energy of bonding in TDST–TEA both in the solid state and in solution. At the same time the potential energy scan reveals a very broad double-well hydrogen bond in TDST-py, indicating good stabilization of the system for a wide range ofD—H...Adistances.

Semiquinone (p-benzosemiquinone), a transient organic radical, was detected in the solid state by EPR spectroscopy revealing four symmetrically equivalent protons. A variable-temperature X-ray diffraction analysis (293 and 90 K) and EPR data support a dynamical disorder of the proton. A low-barrier O—H···O hydrogen bond stabilizes the radical. The C—O bond length is 1.297 (4) Å, corresponding to a bond order of ca 1.5. The geometry of the radical implies an electron delocalization throughout the benzenoid ring. Two polymorphs of semiquinone, monoclinic and triclinic, were observed and their structures determined. Their crystal packings were compared with those of quinhydrone polymorphs.

An orthorhombic crystalline modification of [(PS)H+][OTeF5−] was studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction ((PS)H+ = protonated 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene): orthorhombic, space group Cmcm, a = 8.607(2), b = 14.048(3), c = 13.365(2) Å, Z = 4, T = −130 °C. The structural parameters for the anion and cation in this modification (Mod-B) are very similar to those for the previously reported triclinic modification of this salt (Mod-A). However, variable temperature IR spectra for Mod-B suggest that the OTeF5− anion is exhibiting a two-site O/Fax interchange above −70 °C. Solid-state 19F NMR spectra suggest that this interchange may be as rapid as 104–105 s−1 at room temperature. Keywords: crystal structure of protonated 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene)pentafluorotellurate(VI), polymorphism, solid state 19FNMR.

The development of straightforward reproducible methods for the preparation of new photoluminescent coordination polymers (CPs) is an important goal in luminescence and chemical sensing fields. Isophthalic acid derivatives have been reported for a wide range of applications, and in addition to their relatively low cost, have encouraged its use in the preparation of novel lanthanide-based coordination polymers (LnCPs). Considering that the photoluminescent properties of these CPs are highly dependent on the existence of water molecules in the crystal structure, our research efforts are now focused on the preparation of CP with the lowest water content possible, while considering a green chemistry approach. One- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) LnCPs were prepared from 5-aminoisophthalic acid and Sm3+/Tb3+ using hydrothermal and/or microwave-assisted synthesis. The unprecedented LnCPs were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCRXD), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and their photoluminescence (PL) properties were studied in the solid state, at room temperature, using the CPs as powders and encapsulated in poly(methyl methacrylate (PMMA) films, envisaging the potential preparation of devices for sensing. The materials revealed interesting PL properties that depend on the dimensionality, metal ion, co-ligand used and water content.

A new solvatomorph of [Au3(1-Methylimidazolate)3] (Au3(MeIm)3)—the simplest congener of imidazolate-based Au(I) cyclic trinuclear complexes (CTCs)—has been identified and structurally characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed a dichloromethane solvate exhibiting remarkably short intermolecular Au⋯Au distances (3.2190(7) Å). This goes along with a dimer formation in the solid state, which is not observed in a previously reported solvent-free crystal structure. Hirshfeld analysis, in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, indicates that the dimerization is generally driven by attractive aurophilic interactions, which are commonly associated with the luminescence properties of CTCs. Since Au3(MeIm)3 has previously been reported to be emissive in the solid-state, we conducted a thorough photophysical study combined with phase analysis by means of powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), to correctly attribute the photophysically active phase of the bulk material. Interestingly, all investigated powder samples accessed via different preparation methods can be assigned to the pristine solvent-free crystal structure, showing no aurophilic interactions. Finally, the observed strong thermochromism of the solid-state material was investigated by means of variable-temperature PXRD, ruling out a significant phase transition being responsible for the drastic change of the emission properties (hypsochromic shift from 710 nm to 510 nm) when lowering the temperature down to 77 K.

CuO-SrTiO3-based thin films were prepared by novel sol-gel technology on Al2O3 substrates using Cu(NO3)2, SrCl2 and TiCl4 as the starting materials, critic acid and ethylene glycol as chelating agents. CO2 sensing properties of the films were investigated. Structure characteristics of the sol and asgrown thin films were analyzed by FT-IR spectrum, X-ray diffraction and SEM. The results reveal that the films consisted of CuO phase and SrTiO3 phase have nanocrystalline microstructure at 750°C for 40 min. The modified CuO-SrTiO3 thin films exhibit good resistance-temperature and gas sensitivity properties in a wide range of temperature. The films exposed to 6% CO2 show that sensitivity are 32, and response and recover time are within 2 s at 250 °C operating temperature.

Kynurenic acid (KYN; systematic name: 4-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxylic acid, C10H7NO3) displays a therapeutic effect in the treatment of some neurological diseases and is used as a broad-spectrum neuroprotective agent. However, it is understudied with respect to its solid-state chemistry and only one crystal form (α-KYN·H2O) has been reported up to now. Therefore, an attempt to synthesize alternative solid-state forms of KYN was undertaken and six new species were obtained: five solvates and one salt. One of them is a new polymorph, β-KYN·H2O, of the already known KYN monohydrate. All crystal species were further studied by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, thermal and spectroscopic methods. In addition to the above methods, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), in-situ variable-temperature powder X-ray diffraction and Raman microscopy were applied to characterize the phase behaviour of the new forms. All the compounds display a zwitterionic form of KYN and two different enol–keto tautomers are observed depending on the crystallization solvent used.

Vapours of p-benzoquinone (BQ) have been found to react with solid 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (TCP). The reaction product (BQ-TCP) separated in the form of monoclinic single crystals, the structure of which was determined by X-ray diffraction to reveal that the two molecules are linked by a single hydrogen bond between the carbonyl oxygen of BQ and the phenolic hydrogen of TCP.
