Hydration/dehydration phase transitions of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) are often accompanied with changes of physicochemical properties, such as solubility, stability, and bioavailability. Therefore, three dimensional structural investigation of the hydration / dehydration mechanism of API is important for pharmaceutical research and development. By relative humidity control, Cefaclor hydrate crystal dehydrates non-stoichiometrically from dihydrate to anhydrous form A. Unexpectedly, its monohydrate form transformed into new 1.9 hydrate by slurry treatment (methanol / water) which dehydrated into another anhydrous form B through hemihydrate by heating. In this study, these hydration and dehydration presudo-polymorphic transitions of Cefaclor are investigated by the crystal structure analyses. Crystal structures of anhydrous and partially dehydrated forms were determined by structure determination from powder diffraction data technique because such dehydration phase transitions were resulted in a disintegration of single crystal form. In the first dehydration route, hydrates and the anhydrous form A have similar crystal structure, which is referred as `isomorphic desolvation'. Interestingly, the anhydrous form A has void spaces which corresponds to the water molecule position in the hydrate form. Thus, in hydration / dehydration phase transitions, water molecules move in and out of the void without changing the crystal structures, and the anhydrous form A can hydrate even in low R.H. condition. In the second route, the 1.9 hydrate, hemihydrate and the anhydrate form B have three crystallographically independent molecules forming similar T-shape building block pattern. There are tunnel spaces along b axis between the blocks. In the hydration / dehydration process, the blocks slide each other to open and close the channel. This mechanism explains another non-stoichiometric dehydration in this route.

SummaryA full-matrix, three-dimensional refinement of kalsilite, KAlSi04 (hexagonal, a 5·16, c 8.69 Å, P6a), shows that the silicon and aluminium atoms are ordered. The respective tetrahedral distances of 1·61 and 1·74 Å agree with values of 1·61 and 1·75 Å taken to be typical of framework structures. As in nepheline, an oxygen atom is statistically distributed over three sites displaced 0·25 Å from the ideal position on a triad axis. This decreases the bond angle from 180° to 163° in conformity with observations on some other crystal structures. The potassiumoxygen distances of 2·77, 2·93, and 2·99 Å are consistent with the wide range normally found for this weakly bonded atom.

Recent studies of TiO2/TiS2 nanostructures with various morphologies have been reported, usually showing improved properties with applications from electronics and catalysis to solar cells and medicine. However, there is a limited number of studies on the crystal structures of TiO2/TiS2 compounds with corresponding properties. In this research, relevant crystal structures of TiO1–x S x (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1) solid solutions were investigated using an ab initio method. For each composition, crystal structures adopting anatase, rutile and CdI2 structure type were calculated on LDA-PZ and GGA-PBE levels of theory. Novel phase transitions and predicted structures are presented, and apart from several interesting metastable structures, a very interesting pressure-induced phase transition is found in the TiOS compound. Furthermore, electronic properties were studied through the dependence of semiconducting properties on dopant concentration. The first description of the electronic properties of the mixed TiO1–x S x compounds in crystal form has been presented, followed by a detailed study of the structure–property relationship, which will possibly have numerous industrial and technological applications.

Abstract The 79Br and 127I NQR spectra were investigated for 1,2-diammoniumethane dibromide, -diiodide, 1,3-diammoniumpropane dibromide, -diiodide, piperazinium dibromide monohydrate, and piperazinium monoiodide in the temperature range 77 ≦ T/K ≦ 420. Phase transitions could be observed for the three iodides. The temperatures for the phase transitions are: 400 K and 404 K for 1,2-diammoniumethane diiodide, 366 K for 1,3-diammoniumpropane diiodide, and 196 K for piperazinium monoiodide.The crystal structures were determined for the piperazinium compounds. Piperazinium dibromide monohydrate crystallizes monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a= 1148.7 pm, 0 = 590.5 pm, c= 1501.6pm, β = 118.18°, and Z = 4. For piperazinium monoiodide the orthorhombic space group Pmn 21 was found with a = 958.1 pm, b = 776.9 pm, c = 989.3 pm, Z = 4. Hydrogen bonds N - H ... X with X = Br, I were compared with literature data.

The first attempt is undertaken to consider systematically topological structures of zirconosilicates and their analogs (60 minerals and 34 synthetic phases), where the simplest structure units are MO6 octahedra and TO4 tetrahedra united by vertices ([TO4]:[MO6] = 1:1–6:1). A method of analysis and classification of mixed three-dimensional MT frameworks by topological types with coordination sequences {N k } is developed, which is based on the representation of crystal structure as a finite `reduced' graph. The method is optimized for the frameworks of any composition and complexity and implemented within the TOPOS3.2 program package. A procedure of hierarchical analysis of MT-framework structure organization is proposed, which is based on the concept of polyhedral microensemble (PME) being a geometrical interpretation of coordination sequences of M and T nodes. All 12 theoretically possible PMEs of MT 6 polyhedral composition are considered where T is a separate and/or connected tetrahedron. Using this methodology the MT frameworks in crystal structures of zirconosilicates and their analogs were analyzed within the first 12 coordination spheres of M and T nodes and related to 41 topological types. The structural correlations were revealed between rosenbuschite, lavenite, hiortdahlite, woehlerite, siedozerite and the minerals of the eudialyte family.

The crystal structure of the mineral kröhnkite, Na2Cu(SO4)2(H2O)2, contains infinite chains composed of [CuO4(OH2)2] octahedra corner-linked with SO4 tetrahedra. Such or similar tetrahedral–octahedral `kröhnkite-type' chains are present in the crystal structures of numerous compounds with the composition AnM(XO4)2(H2O)2. The title compounds, (NH4)Mg(HSO4)(SO4)(H2O)2, ammonium magnesium hydrogen sulfate sulfate dihydrate, and NaSc(CrO4)2(H2O)2, sodium scandium bis(chromate) dihydrate, are members of the large family with such kröhnkite-type chains. At 100 K, (NH4)Mg(HSO4)(SO4)(H2O)2 has an unprecedented triclinic crystal structure and contains [MgO4(OH2)2] octahedra linked by SO3(OH) and SO4 tetrahedra into chains extending parallel to [\overline{1}10]. Adjacent chains are linked by very strong hydrogen bonds between SO3(OH) and SO4 tetrahedra into layers parallel to (111). Ammonium cations and water molecules connect adjacent layers through hydrogen-bonding interactions of medium-to-weak strength into a three-dimensional network. (NH4)Mg(HSO4)(SO4)(H2O)2 shows a reversible phase transition and crystallizes at room temperature in structure type E in the classification scheme for structures with kröhnkite-type chains, with half of the unit-cell volume for the resulting triclinic cell, and with disordered H atoms of the ammonium tetrahedron and the H atom between two symmetry-related sulfate groups. IR spectroscopic room-temperature data for the latter phase are provided. Monoclinic NaSc(CrO4)2(H2O)2 adopts structure type F1 in the classification scheme for structures with kröhnkite-type chains. Here, [ScO4(OH2)2] octahedra (point group symmetry \overline{1}) are linked by CrO4 tetrahedra into chains parallel to [010]. The Na+ cations (site symmetry 2) have a [6 + 2] coordination and connect adjacent chains into a three-dimensional framework that is consolidated by medium–strong hydrogen bonds involving the water molecules. Quantitative structural comparisons are made between NaSc(CrO4)2(H2O)2 and its isotypic NaM(CrO4)2(H2O)2 (M = Al and Fe) analogues.

Each central platinum(II) atom in the crystal structures of chlorido[dihydroxybis(1-iminoethoxy)arsanido-κ3 N,As,N′]platinum(II), [Pt(C4H10AsN2O4)Cl] (1), and of chlorido[dihydroxybis(1-iminopropoxy)arsanido-κ3 N,As,N′]platinum(II), [Pt(C6H14AsN2O4)Cl] (2), is coordinated by two nitrogen donor atoms, a chlorido ligand and to arsenic, which, in turn, is coordinated by two oxygen donor ligands, two hydroxyl ligands and the platinum(II) atom. The square-planar and trigonal–bipyramidal coordination environments around platinum and arsenic, respectively, are significantly distorted with the largest outliers being 173.90 (13) and 106.98 (14)° for platinum and arsenic in (1), and 173.20 (14)° and 94.20 (9)° for (2), respectively. One intramolecular and four classical intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions are observed in the crystal structure of (1), which give rise to an infinite three-dimensional network. A similar situation (one intramolecular and four classical intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions) is observed in the crystal structure of (2). Various π-interactions are present in (1) between the platinum(II) atom and the centroid of one of the five-membered rings formed by Pt, As, C, N, O with a distance of 3.7225 (7) Å, and between the centroids of five-membered (Pt, As, C, N, O) rings of neighbouring molecules with distances of 3.7456 (4) and 3.7960 (6) Å. Likewise, weak π-interactions are observed in (2) between the platinum(II) atom and the centroid of one of the five-membered rings formed by Pt, As, C, N, O with a distance of 3.8213 (2) Å, as well as between the Cl atom and the centroid of a symmetry-related five-membered ring with a distance of 3.8252 (12) Å. Differences between (2) and the reported polymorph [Miodragović et al. (2013). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 52, 10749–10752] are discussed.

The term pseudo-symmetry means a spatial arrangement that feigns a symmetry without fulfilling it. In crystal structures pseudo-symmetry is a more common feature than often recognized. In case of small deviations a variety of phenomena results: polytypism and stacking faults, disorder and twinning, commensurate and incommensurate super-structures, phase transitions and unusual reflection conditions. Most of these effects complicate crystal structure determination considerably. A series of examples with focus on the new class of ternary bismuth subhalides illustrates the different crystallographic consequences of pseudo-symmetry in crystal structures.

The alkaline earth tricyanomethanides Mg(tcm)2 · 2H2O, Ca(tcm)2, Sr(tcm)2 ・H2O and Ba(tcm)2 · 2H2O were prepared from aqueous solutions of the respective chlorides and silver tricyanomethanide. Their IR spectra and thermal behavior are described. The crystal structures of Ca(tcm)2 and Ba(tcm)2 · 2H2O were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of Ca(tcm)2 is of the type found for several transition metal tricyanomethanides [1], containing two independent interpenetrating networks. Ba(tcm)2 · 2H2O has a unique crystal structure corresponding to a three-dimensional coordination polymer with nine fold coordinated Ba atoms connected by water molecules and tricyanomethanide anions.

A method is developed for the analysis and classification of orthosilicates and their analogs Mx (TO4) y containing M cations and tetrahedral TO4 anions. The method uses the concepts of coordination sequence and crystal structure `reduced' graphs and is optimized for orthostructures of any complexity. First, the suprapolyhedral level of crystal structure organization was studied, where T tetrahedra were considered as templates for condensing M polyhedra, constructing as a result T polyhedral microensembles. Using this methodology, the crystal structures of 54 orthosilicates and orthogermanates were analyzed within the first 12 coordination spheres of T nodes and were arranged into 21 topological types. The topological types were expanded with the analogs found within the orthostructures of phosphates, sulfates etc. T polyhedral microensembles were used for the topological classification of reconstruction mechanisms of thermal and baric phase transitions of orthosilicates.

The molecules of all the three compounds are U-shaped with the two aromatic rings inclined at 41.3 (6)° in (I), 42.1 (2)° in (II) and 54.4 (3)° in (III). The molecular conformation of (II) is stabilized by intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions. The crystal structure of (I) features N—H...O hydrogen-bondedR22(8) loops interconnectedvia C(7) chains of C—H...O interactions, forming a three-dimensional architecture. The structure also features π–π interactions [Cg...Cg= 3.6970 (14) Å]. In (II), N—H...O hydrogen-bondedR22(8) loops are interconnectedviaπ–π interactions [intercentroid distance = 3.606 (3) Å] to form a one-dimensional architecture running parallel to theaaxis. In (III), adjacentC(4) chains of N—H...O hydrogen-bonded molecules running parallel to [010] are connectedviaC—H...π interactions, forming sheets parallel to theabplane. Neighbouring sheets are linkedviaoffset π–π interactions [intercentroid distance = 3.8303 (16) Å] to form a three-dimensional architecture.
