One-dimensional ice (1D ice) is formed in the single crystal prepared by mixing tryptophan and pyridoxal-5-phosphate in aqueous solution. This ice (diameter=1.649nm at 90K) consists of a hollow-type nanowire, viz., water nanopipe, and the structure is constructed by piling up the cluster unit of 15 water molecules, five independent waters (W1,--W5) of which are arranged around a 3-fold axis. As can be seen from the side view of this nanopipe, a tape structure is made of the continuous chair-type six-membered rings running parallel to the longest crystal axis, and its three tapes arranged around 3-fold axis are linked together via two kinds of hydrogen bonds of W5 (W5-W2 and W5-W4). Thus, the overall structure of this 1D ice could be described as three-square nanometric column. In order to investigate the temperature-dependent structural change of 1D ice, the crystal structure was refined using the X-ray diffraction data measured at different temperature between 90K and 293K. From these results, it was confirmed that the nanopipe structure is stable under 200K, but W5 and W4 disappear at 220K and 273K, respectively, indicating the importance of W5 for the structural stability of 1D ice.

Four lithium coordination polymers, [Li3(BTC)(H2O)6] (1), [Li3(BTC)(H2O)5] (2), [Li3(BTC)(μ2-H2O)] (3), and [Li(H2BTC)(H2O)] (4) (H3BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylatic acid), have been synthesized and characterized. All the structures have been determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Complexes 1 and 2 have two-dimensional (2-D) sheets, whereas complex 3 has three-dimensional (3-D) frameworks and complex 4 has one-dimensional (1-D) tubular chains. The crystal-to-crystal transformation was observed in 1–3 upon removal of water molecules, which accompanied the changes in structures and ligand bridging modes. Furthermore, the electrochemical properties of complexes 3 and 4 have been studied to evaluate these compounds as electrode materials in lithium ion batteries with the discharge capacities of 120 and 257 mAhg−1 in the first thirty cycles, respectively.

In the title mixed-ligand metal–organic polymeric compound, {[Cd(C14H8O6S)(C16H16N2)]·3H2O}n, the asymmetric unit contains a crystallographically unique CdIIatom, one doubly deprotonated 4,4′-sulfonyldibenzoic acid (H2SDBA) ligand, one 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (TMPHEN) molecule and three solvent water molecules. Each CdIIcentre is six-coordinated by two O atoms from a chelating carboxylate group of a SDBA2−ligand, two O atoms from monodentate carboxylate groups of two different SDBA2−ligands and two N atoms from a chelating TMPHEN ligand. There are two coordination patterns for the carboxylate groups of the SDBA2−ligand, with one in a μ1-η1:η1chelating mode and the other in a μ2-η1:η1bis-monodentate mode. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the title compound is a one-dimensional double-chain polymer containing 28-membered rings based on the [Cd2(CO2)2] rhomboid subunit. More interestingly, a chair-shaped water hexamer cluster is observed in the compound.

The α–β transformation of berlinite (AlPO4) at 586 °C was studied by X-ray diffraction. Atomic displacements were obtained from results of least-squares refinement of data taken between room temperature and 600 °C using reflections whose intensity is unaffected by Dauphiné twinning. The results suggest a rotational motion of the PO4 and AlO4 tetrahedra around the two-fold axis together with a translational motion along the same axis as the transition is approached from below. The vibrational amplitudes of the atoms increase with temperature and have exceeded half of the separation between Dauphiné twin-related configurations at 500 °C. The final β-phase configuration is not achieved by this twinning due to the mismatch of the two configurational potential minima in the a direction. Analysis of the intensity vs. temperature data favours a single minimum model for the β phase configuration over an order–disorder model. The β-AlPO4 structure consists of alternate PO4 and AlO4 tetrahedra sharing all four corners with P—O and Al—O distances 1.505 and 1.694 Å respectively. The results are correlated with those obtained from temperature dependent studies by Raman scattering and by EPR on Fe3+-doped AlPO4.

The one-dimensional polymeric structure of sodium diaquafenamate–water (1/1) was studied by X-ray diffraction. The sodium cation is coordinated to one oxygen atom of the carboxylate group and to four water oxygen atoms. To characterize the Na—O bonds, the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and noncovalent interaction (NCI) approaches have been used. Both methods confirmed that the Na—O bonds are very weak, comparable with the weak N—H...O intramolecular hydrogen bond. The polymeric structure is stabilized by the interaction of the sodium cation with the surrounding water molecules.

A new organic/inorganic salt formed by mixed-valence dibenzotetrathiafulvalene (DBTTF) radical cations and the spherical Keggin-type polyoxometalate anions [H3BW12O40]2− was obtained by electrochemical oxidation of the donor in an acetonitrile and a 1,2-dichloroethane solution containing the polyanion. The compound has been characterized by X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, EPR, IR and Raman spectroscopy. X-Ray diffraction experiments have revealed that the compound consists of heteropolyanions, water molecules and DBTTF radical cations. The organic radicals form trimers and dimers via π-π stacking; moreover, the polyoxoanions and the organic donors are also held together by hydrogen bonding interactions. In their packing arrangement, a three-dimensional supramolecular network with one-dimensional channels along the b axis is established with uncoordinated water molecules residing in the channels.

A new CoIIcomplex of diniconazole, namely diaqua[(E)-(RS)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-κN4)pent-1-en-3-ol]cobalt(II) dinitrate dihydrate, [Co(C15H17Cl2N3O)3(H2O)2](NO3)2·2H2O, was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystal structural analysis shows that the centrosymmetric CoIIcation is coordinated by four diniconazole ligands and two water molecules, forming a six-coordinated octahedral structure. There are also two free nitrate counter-anions and two additional solvent water molecules in the structure. Intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds link the complex cations into a one-dimensional chain. In addition, the antifungal activity of the complex againstBotryosphaeria ribis,Gibberella nicotiancola,Botryosphaeria berengrianaandAlternariasolaniwas studied. The results indicate that the complex shows a higher antifungal activity forBotryosphaeria ribisandBotryosphaeria berengrianathan diniconazole, but a lower antifungal activity forGibberella nicotiancolaandAlternariasolani.

Ice is one of the most well-studied substances yet forming a polar, bulk phase, where the water molecule dipoles are all aligned, has proved to be challenging. One approach is to confine the water in nanotubes, such that the molecules are restricted in orientation [1], however this hinders their use as ferroelectric devices – the primary application of polar ices. An alternative is to exploit the voids in nanoporous crystalline hosts but there are, as yet, no reported confined ice systems where the water molecules are able to switch between paraelectric and ferroelectric states whilst retaining a crystalline structure. One such porous system is 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene (HHTP) tetrahydrate, where columnar stacks of the HHTP molecules are arranged in a pseudo-square arrangement and the water molecules occupy the pores, forming one-dimensional, meso-helical chains. The structure, determined previously [2], crystallises in Pbcn, however this places inversion centres within the water chains leading to unphysical intermolecular H...H contacts. A variable-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction investigation is described where careful consideration of the data shows how long-range dipole ordering within and between the water chains is induced, by varying temperature, transforming the crystal structure to the polar Pna21 space group [3]. Subsequent reassessment of the ambient temperature structure reveals a superposition of opposing polarisation states.

The title compound, {[Ni(C9H4O6)(C14H14N4)]·0.41H2O}n, exhibits a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded supramolecular framework. The NiIIcation is six-coordinated in a distorted triangular prism defined by two N atoms from two 1,3-bis(imidazol-l-ylmethyl)benzene (bix) ligands and four O atoms from two 5-carboxybenzene-1,3-dicarboxylate (HBTC) dianions. The bix molecules and HBTC dianions both act as bidentate ligands, linking the NiIIcations to form a one-dimensional coordination polymer. A two-dimensional wave-like net is constructed by O—H...O hydrogen bonds linking adjacent chains. Partially occupied solvent water molecules fill the cavities and link these layers to form a three-dimensional supramolecular structureviaO—H...O hydrogen bonds. The title compound was also characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis.

(3-Nitroanilinium) (18-crown) (PF6) (1), which is an organic-inorganic hybrid containing one-dimensional chains of hydrogen-bonded supramolecular cations, was synthesized under slow evaporation conditions and subjected to differential scanning calorimetry, temperature-dependent dielectric measurements, and variable-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. These analyses revealed the occurrence of a reversible structural phase transition [P21/n P21/c] at 223 K and a dielectric anomaly, which, based on the results of structural analysis and potential energy calculations, was attributed to the synergistic effect between the pendulum-like motion of the nitro group in the supramolecular cation, (3-nitroanilinium)(18-crown), and the order-disorder motion of PF6− anions.
