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.

Abstract 57 Fe Mössbauer spectra have been measured at various temperatures between 4.2 K and 300 K for iron langbeinites A 2 Fe 2^04)3 with A = K, NH 4 , Rb, T1 and magnesium, manganese and cadmium lang-beinites doped with Fe" + . The spectra revealed several contributions whose isomer shifts and quadru-pole splittings have been obtained by fitting program routines. For the high-temperature cubic phases two crystallographically non-equivalent iron sites have been identified, characteristic of Fe2+ in the high-spin state. Abrupt changes of the quadrupole couplings indicated phase transitions; in some cases, the spectra have also revealed several sites for Fe2+ in low temperature phases. From the temperature dependences, phase transition temperatures, crystal field splittings and Debye temperatures have been derived.

The review presents the progress in the analysis of low-temperature heat capacity of the metal-organic framework Zn2(C8H4O4)2.C6H12N2 (Zn-DMOF). In Zn-DMOF, left-twisted D3(S) and right-twisted D3(R) DABCO molecules (C6H12N2) can transform into each other by tunneling to form a racemate. Termination of tunneling leads to a phase transition in the subsystem of twisted molecules. It is suggested that Zn-DMOF may be considered a model system to study the mechanisms of phase transitions belonging to the same type as hypothetical Salam phase transitions.

Parent compound of DyFeAsO was successfully synthesized by solid-state reaction under ambient pressure and superconductivity was induced by partial substitution of trivalent Dy 3+ ions with tetravalent Th 4+ in Dy 1-x Th x FeAsO . In the undoped parent compound, an anomaly in the resistivity appears around 140 K which corresponds to the structural phase transition and/or antiferromagnetic (AFM) order of the magnetic moments of Fe 2+ ions. At low temperature, another AFM order associated with the magnetic moments of Dy 3+ ions occurs at TN of 9.55 K. The AFM order around 140 K has significant influence on the transport properties, which can be interpreted by opening of partial gap on Fermi surface. Th doping suppresses the AFM order related to the Fe 2+ ions and the midpoint transition temperature [Formula: see text] of 49.3 K is observed for x = 0.3. Our results also indicate that the [ Ln 2 O 2]2+ layer has influence on the magnetism of [ Fe 2 As 2]2- layer.

ABSTRACTThe excited state properties of C60 thin films have been probed in the temperature range 77–273K using Raman spectroscopy. The change in the Raman, 2Ag mode of C60 (whose position is largely independent of temperature) was monitored as a function of the excitation intensity at 514.5nm. This mode normally positioned at 1469cm-1, was seen to shift reversibly to a lower Raman frequency with increasing laser intensity. Two excited state species have been identified. The first, at 1466cm-1 has been associated with the molecular triplet of C60. The second species at 1463cm-1, has been speculated to be an excited state co-operative involving two or more excited states in the solid and is seen to be intrinsic to solid state C60 below the phase transition.

The synthesis and single crystal structures of 3-phenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)-1<i>H</i>-pyrazol-5-amine (<b>L1</b>) and its complex with ZnCl<sub>2 </sub>are reported. <b>L1</b> exhibits supercooling, with a difference in melting and solidification points of over 100 <sup>o</sup>C. The complex [<b>L1</b>ZnCl<sub>2</sub>] has a room-to-low temperature single crystal-to-crystal phase transition in the solid state, while a birefringent fluid phase mixed with crystalline domains is observed at high temperatures. Significant fluorescence enhancement is observed upon formation of the ZnCl<sub>2</sub> complex.

We have reinvestigated the solid state structure of 1,1'-bis-(ferrocenyldimethylsilyl)ferrocenylene, (η5-FcSiMe2C5H4)2Fe, Fc = (η5-C5H5)Fe(η5-C5H4). Using a DSC technique we observed a reversible phase transition for this compound at 169(3)K with ΔH = 1.1 kJ/mol, and ΔS = 6.54 J/mol K. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study has demonstrated that this phase change involves a transformation from a high temperature phase, space group P21/c, Z = 2, to a triclinic low temperature phase, space group P[Formula: see text], Z = 4. The phase transition involves the loss of the molecular crystallographic center of symmetry and rotations about the terminal and central cyclopentadienyl ring pairs. The results are compared to those reported for ferrocene.Key words: solid state, phase transition, silyleneferrocenylene.

We have determined the structure of the paraelectric phase of BaAl2O4, which is a stuffed tridymite, by different TEM techniques and we will describe the phase transition between the ferroelectric room temperature phase and the paraelectric high temperature phase. We have also obtained HREM images of the higly radiation sensitive acristobalite phase of (Si0,9 Ge0,1)O2 and analysed the extended defects in this material.The stuffed tridymite BaAl2O4 is ferroelectric at room temperature and undergoes a paraelectric-ferroelectric (PEFE) phase transition. The transition is reversible, takes place over a wide temperature range (400K-670K) and has a dynamical character. BaAl2O4 is easily obtained by solid state reaction of BaCO3, and A12O4,. The stoichiometric amounts of the initial reagents were mixed, grinded in an agate mortar under acetone and pressed into a pellet. The pellet was annealed in alumina crucibles at 1000 °C and 1300 °C for 40 h in air and furnace cooled.
