Halogen and hydrogen bonds [1] are most often associated with the structure of molecular crystals. Even weak specific interactions, such as halogen···halogen and CH···halogen contacts, can compete between themselves and with Kitaigorodski's close packing rule. The competition between halogen···halogen and CH···halogen interactions has been studied at high pressure for the series of six dihalomethanes CH2XY (X,Y = Cl, Br, I). They crystallize in several structural types of space groups Pbcn, C2/c, Pnma, Pna21or Fmm2. In all these compounds and in their polymorphs the halogen···halogen and CH···halogen interactions persist despite considerable structural differences. The group of monohalomethanes (CH3X, X = Cl, Br, I) are the simplest organic polar compounds and ideal models for studying halogen···halogen and CH···halogen interactions. For these simplest haloalkanes, the halogen···halogen competition with CH···halogen bonds, scaled in the function of electrostatic potential in the Cl, Br, I series, is affected by pressure. Phase α-CH3Br, isostructural with CH3I (orthorhombic space group Pnma) and dominated by halogen···halogen bonds, is destabilized by pressure. At 1.5 GPa the ambient-pressure α-CH3Br phase transforms into phase β-CH3Br governed by CH···halogen interactions. Phase β of CH3Br is isostructural with CH3Cl, orthorhombic space group Cmc21[2,3]. The CH3Br molecules are more evenly accommodated in space group Cmc21and CH···halogen interactions are favoured by the close-packing effect.

Theoretically calculated mobility has revealed that BDT is a hole transfer material, which is in good agreement with experimental investigations. The BDT, NHBDT, and OBDT are predicted to be hole transfer materials in the C2/c space group. Comparatively, hole mobility of BHBDT is 7 times while electron mobility is 20 times higher than the BDT. The packing effect for BDT and designed crystals was investigated by various space groups. Generally, mobility increases in BDT and its analogues by changing the packing from space group C2/c to space groups P1 or . In the designed ambipolar material, BHBDT hole mobility has been predicted 0.774 and 3.460 cm2 Vs–1 in space groups P1 and , which is 10 times and 48 times higher than BDT (0.075 and 0.072 cm2 Vs–1 in space groups P1 and ), respectively. Moreover, the BDT behaves as an electron transfer material by changing the packing from the C2/c space group to P1 and .

Stoichiometric hydrates of Li3VO4, the hexahydrate and two polymorphs of the octahydrate, were prepared by evaporation of alkaline aqueous solutions 1 molar in LiOH and 0.5 molar in the metavanadate LiVO3 at r. t. with or without the addition of Lithium sulfide, i. e. at different pH values. Their crystal structures have been determined and refined using single crystal X-ray data; all lithium and hydrogen atom positions were localised and refined without contraints. All three title compounds crystallise in non-centrosymmetric space groups. The water molecules belong to the tetrahedral coordination spheres of the Li cations, i. e. they are embedded as water of coordination exclusively. The tetrahedral orthovanadate(V) anions VO3−4 and the LiO4 tetrahedra are connected via common O corners to form building units which are further held together by strong, nearly linear hydrogen bonds. The hexahydrate Li3VO4 ・ 6H2O (space group R3, a = 962.9(2), c = 869.2(2) pm, Z = 3, R1 = 0.0260) contains isolated orthovanadate(V) anions VO3−4 surrounded by a 3D network of cornersharing Li(H2O)4 tetrahedra forming rings of three, seven and eight units. The water molecules are ‘isolated’ in the sense that no hydrogen bonds are formed between water molecules. The octahydrate is dimorphous: The triclinic polymorph of Li3VO4 ・ 8H2O (space group P1, a = 592.6(2), b = 651.3(2), c = 730.2(4) pm, α = 89.09(2), β = 89.43(2), γ = 88.968(12)°, Z = 1, R1 = 0.0325) contains two types of chains of tetrahedra: One consists of corner-sharing Li(H2O)4 tetrahedra only, the second one is formed by alternating LiO4 and VO4 tetrahedra, also sharing oxygen corners. Only one water molecule is ‘isolated’, the other seven form a branched fragment of a chain with hydrogen bonds between them. In the monoclinic form of Li3VO4・8H2O (space group Pc, a = 732.6(1), b = 653.7(1), c = 1292.9(3) pm, β = 112.21(1)°, Z = 2, R1 = 0.0289) a fragment of a chain of three LiO4 tetrahedra, two of which share a common edge, and one VO4 tetrahedron represent the formular unit. These building blocks are connected via hydrogen bonds formed by three ‘isolated’ water molecules and a chain fragment of five connected water molecules.

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 new orthorhombic polymorph β-HgB4O7 has been synthesized under high-pressure and hightemperature conditions in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus at 7.5 GPa and 600 °C. β-HgB4O7 is isotypic to the known ambient pressure phases MB4O7 (M = Sr, Pb, Eu) and the high-pressure phase β-CaB4O7 crystallizing with two formula units in the space group Pmn21 with lattice parameters a = 1065.6(2), b = 438.10(9), and c = 418.72(8) pm. The relation of the crystal structure of the high-pressure phase β-HgB4O7 to the normal pressure phase α-HgB4O7 as well as the relation to the isotypic phases MB4O7 (M = Sr, Pb, Eu) and β-CaB4O7 are discussed.

The structures of five of the possible six isomers of (E,E)-1,4-bis(nitrophenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene are reported, including two polymorphs of one of the isomers. (E,E)-1,4-Bis(2-nitrophenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene, C14H10N4O4 (I), crystallizes in two polymorphic forms (Ia) and (Ib) in which the molecules lie across centres of inversion in space groups P21/n and P21/c, respectively: the molecules in (Ia) and (Ib) are linked into chains by aromatic π...π stacking interactions and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds, respectively. Molecules of (E,E)-1-(2-nitrophenyl)-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene (II) are linked into sheets by two independent C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The molecules of (E,E)-1,4-bis(3-nitrophenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene (III) lie across inversion centres in the space group P21/n, and a combination of a C—H...O hydrogen bond and a π...π stacking interaction links the molecules into sheets. A total of four independent C—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules of (E,E)-1-(3-nitrophenyl)-4-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene (IV) into sheets. In (E,E)-1,4-bis(4-nitrophenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene (V) the molecules, which lie across centres of inversion in the space group P21/n, are linked by just two independent C—H...O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional framework.

The crystal structure of L-serine has been determined at room temperature at pressures between 0.3 and 4.8 GPa. The structure of this phase (hereafter termed L-serine-I), which consists of the molecules in their zwitterionic tautomer, is orthorhombic, space group P212121. The least compressible cell dimension (c), corresponds to chains of head-to-tail NH...carboxylate hydrogen bonds. The most compressible direction is along b, and the pressure-induced distortion in this direction takes the form of closing up voids in the middle of R-type hydrogen-bonded ring motifs. This occurs by a change in the geometry of hydrogen-bonded chains connecting the hydroxyl groups of the —CH2OH side chains. These hydrogen bonds are the longest conventional hydrogen bonds in the system at ambient pressure, having an O...O separation of 2.918 (4) Å and an O...O...O angle of 148.5 (2)°; at 4.8 GPa these parameters are 2.781 (11) and 158.5 (7)°. Elsewhere in the structure one NH...O interaction reaches an N...O separation of 2.691 (13) Å at 4.8 GPa. This is amongst the shortest of this type of interaction to have been observed in an amino acid crystal structure. Above 4.8 GPa the structure undergoes a single-crystal-to-single-crystal phase transition to a hitherto uncharacterized polymorph, which we designate L-serine-II. The OH...OH hydrogen-bonded chains of L-serine-I are replaced in L-serine-II by shorter OH...carboxyl interactions, which have an O...O separation of 2.62 (2) Å. This phase transition occurs via a change from a gauche to an anti conformation of the OH group, and a change in the NCαCO torsion angle from −178.1 (2)° at 4.8 GPa to −156.3 (10)° at 5.4 GPa. Thus, the same topology appears in both crystal forms, which explains why it occurs from one single-crystal form to another. The transition to L-serine-II is also characterized by the closing-up of voids which occur in the centres of other R-type motifs elsewhere in the structure. There is a marked increase in CH...O hydrogen bonding in both phases relative to L-serine-I at ambient pressure.

ZnAs2 and CdAs2 decompose at high pressure and temperature. The determined decomposition boundaries are presented. From synthesis experiments in the systems Cd3As2—As and Zn3As2—As, the decomposition products were found to be mixtures of CdAs + As and ZnAs + As. The high pressure phases CdAs and ZnAs are orthorhombic, space group D152h — Pbca, with αo = 5.993 A, bo = 7.819 A, co = 8.010 Å and αo = 5.679 A, bo = 7.277 A, co = 7.559 Å, respectively. Further phases are recovered from the high temperature region at high pressure.

The polymorphic study of 3-(3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one, C17H11N3O2, was performed due to its potential biological activity and revealed three polymorphic modifications in the triclinic space group P\overline{1}, the monoclinic space group P21 and the orthorhombic space group Pbca. These polymorphs have a one-column layered type of crystal organization. The strongest interactions between the molecules of the studied structures is stacking between π-systems, while N—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds link stacked columns forming layers as a secondary basic structural motif. C—H...π hydrogen bonds were observed between neighbouring layers and their role is the least significant in the formation of the crystal structure. Packing differences between the polymorphic modifications are minor and can be identified only using an analysis based on a comparison of the pairwise interaction energies.

Abstract From the ternary system Mn(SO4)n/2 / SO3 / H2O (Mn+ = Zr4+, Ti3+) two new acid metal sulfates, Ti(H5O2)(SO4)2(H2O)2 and Zr(H3O) 2(SO4)3, have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Ti(H5O2)(SO4)2(H2O)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with cell parameters a = 9.858(5), b = 18.32(2), c = 5.437(7)Å (Z = 4); Zr(H3O)2(SO4)3 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with cell parameters a = 5.092(2), b = 8.533(3), c = 12.388(6)A, α = 92.95(3)°, β = 90.89(3)°, γ = 94.35(3)° (Z= 2). In the titanium compound there are slightly distorted TiO6 octahedra with Ti-O distances between 1.99 and 2.09 Å which are sharing corners with SO4 tetrahedra. Through hydrogen bonds layers are formed perpendicular to the b-axis. These layers are connected by H3O+ ions only. The structure of Zr(H3O)2(SO4)3 consists of three different SO4 tetrahedra and distorted ZrO7 polyhedra which are connected via common corners and edges to form columns parallel to the a-axis. The Zr-O distances vary from 2.13 to 2.18Å for equatorial positions, significantly longer than the axial Zr-O distances with 2.05Å.

A trigonal–tetragonal phase transition in SrMn2P2is proposed and confirmed experimentally under high pressure. At ambient pressure, SrMn2P2crystallizes in the primitive trigonal La2O3structure type (space groupP3̄m1) in blue. Under high pressure, the tetragonal ThCr2Si2structure type (space groupI4/mmm) in red is more stable.
