A new polymorph of (E)-4-bromo-2-[(phenylimino)methyl]phenol, C13H10BrNO, is reported, together with a low-temperature structure determination of the previously published polymorph. Both polymorphs were found to have an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond between the phenol OH group and the imine N atom, forming an S(6) ring. The crystals were observed to have different colours at room temperature, with the previously published polymorph being more orange and the new polymorph more yellow. The planarity of the molecule in the two polymorphs was found to be significantly different, with dihedral angles (Φ) between the two aromatic rings for the previously published `orange' polymorph of Φ = 1.8 (2)° at 120 K, while the new `yellow' polymorph had Φ = 45.6 (1)° at 150 K. It was also observed that both polymorphs displayed some degree of thermochromism and upon cooling the `orange' polymorph became more yellow, while the `yellow' polymorph became paler upon cooling.

Acenaphthylene, C 12 H 8 , occurs in space group Pbam (or Pba2) at room temperatures (23 °C) with a = 7.705 (5), b = 7.865 (5), c = 14.071 (5) Å and Z = 4, and is disordered. At about 130 K it undergoes a reversible transition to space group P2 1 nm with a = 7.588 (13), b = 7.549 (10), c = 27.822 (2) Å and Z = 8 (85 K) with an ordered structure. A general study of the system has revealed that the structure of both forms consists of layers of closely packed molecules stacked in the c direction. The room temperature structure has a two-layer repeat and the low temperature form a four-layer repeat. Observation of diffuse X-ray diffraction effects at temperatures close to the transition indicates that an intermediate form having a six-layer repeat is formed. A preliminary structure determination of the low-temperature form reveals that the four layers though having a similar packing scheme differ in the orientation of the constituent molecules relative to c . It is proposed that the almost circular shape of the molecules allows each layer to change its identity under thermal agitation by a rotation of its constituent molecules in their own planes. The transition can be explained in terms of changes of the correlations between neighbouring layers. A simple model based on short-range order parameters is described, which explains the occurrence of the six-layer intermediate and the observed sequence of diffuse diffraction phenomena. The nature of the structure of the disordered room temperature form, which is predicted by this model, is confirmed as far as possible with the data available which are limited because of the dearth of high-angle diffraction maxima.

AbstractThis study presents the first crystal-structure determination of natural MgCO3·5H2O, mineral lansfordite, in comparison with previous structural works performed on synthetic analogues. A new prototype single-crystal X-ray diffractometer allowed us to measure an extremely small crystal (i.e. 0.020 mm × 0.010 mm × 0.005 mm) and refine anisotropically all non-hydrogen atoms in the structure and provide a robust hydrogen-bond arrangement. Our new data confirm that natural lansfordite can be stable for several months at room temperature, in contrast with previous works, which reported that such a mineral could be stable only below 10°C.

K2Sc[Si2O6]F exhibits, at room temperature, a (3 + 2)-dimensional incommensurately modulated structure [a= 8.9878 (1),c= 8.2694 (2) Å,V= 668.01 (2) Å3; superspace groupP42/mnm(α,α,0)000s(−α,α,0)0000] with modulation wavevectorsq1= 0.2982 (4)(a* +b*) andq2= 0.2982 (4)(−a* +b*). Its low-temperature behaviour has been studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Down to 45 K, the irrational component α of the modulation wavevectors is quite constant varying from 0.2982 (4) (RT), through 0.2955 (8) (120 K), 0.297 (1) (90 K), 0.298 (1) (75 K), to 0.299 (1) (45 K). At 25 K it approaches the commensurate value of one-third [i.e.0.332 (3)]: thus indicating that the incommensurate–commensurate phase transition takes place between 45 K and 25 K. The commensurate lock-in phase of K2Sc[Si2O6]F has been solved and refined with a 3 × 3 × 1 supercell compared with the tetragonal incommensurately modulated structure stable at room temperature. This corresponds to a 3 × 1 × 3 supercell in the pseudo-orthorhombic monoclinic setting of the low-temperature structure, space groupP2/m, with lattice parametersa= 26.786 (3),b= 8.245 (2)c= 26.824 (3) Å, β = 90.00 (1)°. The structure is a mixed tetrahedral–octahedral framework composed of chains of [ScO4F2] octahedra that are interconnected by [Si4O12] rings with K atoms in fourfold to ninefold coordination. Distorted [ScO4F2] octahedra are connected to distorted Si tetrahedra to form octagonal arrangements closely resembling those observed in the incommensurate structure of fresnoite- and melilite-type compounds.

ABSTRACTIn α-C5n-HNO3 the condensation of the room-temperature liquid-like diffuse ring associated with the disorder-order transition around 250 K is studied and the low-temperature. superstructure is examined.It is found that β-C8n-HNO3 exhibits an in-plane incommensurate order at room temperature.Two types of graphite-Br2 are found. Low-temperature phase transitions in C8Br are observed at T1 ≍ 277 K and T2 ≍ 297 K. The room-temperature structure of C14Br is reexamined. Special attention is given to diffuse scattering and incommensurability.

AbstractThe room temperature structure withP21/csymmetry of the zinc(II) complex of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid was published by Okabe and Oya (N. Okabe, N. Oya, Copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid.Acta Crystallogr. C.2000,56, 305). Here we report crystal structure of the low temperature phaseβ-[Zn(pydcH)2]·3H2O, pydc=C7H3NO4, resulting from the phase transition around 200K. The diffraction pattern of the low temperature phase revealed satellite reflections, which could be indexed with q-vector 0.4051(10)b* corresponding to (3+1)Dincommensurately modulated structure. The modulated structure was solved in the superspace groupX21/c(0b0)s0, whereXstands for a non-standard centring vector (½, 0, 0, ½), and compared with the room temperature phase. It is shown that hydrogen bonds are the main driving force of modulation.

A room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the 1 : 1 adduct of silver(I) 2-hydroxy-3,5-dinitrobenzoate/triphenyl-phosphine (AgL/PPh3) was recorded, showing it to be a binuclear centrosymmetric system with the silver atoms bridged by one of the carboxy oxygen atoms of each ligand, [(PPh3)Ag(μ-O)2Ag(PPh3)] as in the parent acetate; the phenolic oxygen, retaining its protonation, is hydrogen bonded within the ligand to the other feebly chelating carboxylate oxygen.
