The title compound, C2H6OS, is a high melting, polar and aprotic solvent widely used in organic and inorganic chemistry. It serves as a H-atom acceptor in hydrogen bonding and is used as an ambidentate ligand in coordination chemistry. The evaluation of the influence of intermolecular interactions on the internal structural parameters of the chemically bonded DMSO molecules affords precise structural data of the free molecule as a point of reference. So far, valid data have been obtained only by use of neutron powder diffraction [Ibberson (2005).Acta Cryst.C61, o571–o573]. In the present redetermination, structural data have been obtained from a single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiment at 100 K, revealing a better comparison with DMSO molecules in other crystal structures. In the solid state, the pyramidal molecule exhibits a nearly perfectCssymmetry [including H atoms, which are eclipsed with respect to the C...C axis], with a C—S—C bond angle of 97.73 (7)° and an S—O bond length of 1.5040 (10) Å, corresponding very well with an S=O double bond, and with almost equal S—C bond lengths [mean value = 1.783 (4) Å] and O—S—C bond angles [mean value = 106.57 (4)°]. The crystal packing is influenced by C—H...O interactions (2.42–2.47 Å) between all three H atoms of only one methyl group with the O atoms of three neighbouring DMSO molecules. The interactions of the O atom with H atoms (or Lewis acids, or hydrogen-donor groups) of adjacent molecules in relation to the orientation of the complete DMSO molecule are described in terms of the angle ω and the distancednorm; ω is the angle between the pseudo-mirror plane of the molecule and the plane defined through the S=O bond and the interacting atom, anddnormis the distance of the interacting atom from the plane perpendicular to the S=O bond.

The structural parameters for the cyclobutanoQ[5–8] family were determined through single crystal X-ray diffraction. It was found that the electropositive cyclobutano methylene protons (CH2) are important in forming interlinking crystal packing arrangements driven by the dipole–dipole interactions between these protons and the portal carbonyl O of a near neighbor. This type of interaction was observed across the whole family. Electrostatic potential maps also confirmed the electropositive nature of the cyclobutano CH2 but, more importantly, it was established that the cavities are electronegative in contrast to classical Q[5–8], which are near neutral.

Spin crossover (SCO) active solid solutions with formula [FexZn1-x(Me1,3bpp)2](ClO4)2 (x = 0.10, 0.15, 0.22, 0.33, 0.41, 0.48, 0.56 and 0.64, Me1,3bpp is a bis-pyrazolylpyridine) and the complex [Zn(Me1,3bpp)2](ClO4)2 have been prepared and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The structural data and the powder diffraction patterns of all the compounds have been compared with the reported isostructural molecular crystal [Fe(Me1,3bpp)2](ClO4)2. Increasing amounts of Zn diminishes monotonically the cooperativity of the SCO of the parent Fe(II) complex (T1/2=183 K) and cause a decrease of T1/2 in line with the negative chemical pressure exerted by the Zn(II) complexes on the Fe(II) lattice. The gradual variation of the magnetic properties as the composition changes are paralleled by the evolution of the structural parameters at the molecular, intermolecular and crystal lattice scales. Thermal trapping of a portion of the Fe(II) centers of these alloys by quenching the crystals to 2 K unveils that, upon warming, the temperature of relaxation of the metastable states is almost constant for all compositions.

The title compound, C14H13N3O5(HMNP), was synthesized by the simple condensation ofp-nitrophenylhydrazine with dehydroacetic acid (DHA) in a 1:1 molar ratio in ethanol. HMNP has been characterized by using FT–IR,1H and13C NMR and UV–Vis spectroscopic and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The crystal packing reveals strong hydrogen bonds between the NH group and the carbonyl O atom of dihydropyranone moiety, forming chains along [101]. The thermal stability of the synthesized compound was confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis and it was found to be stable up to 513 K. The UV–Vis spectrum shows the presence of a strong band at λmax394 nm.1H NMR and single-crystal X-ray analyses confirmed the presence of theenolform of the ligand and dominance over theketoform. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with the refined ratio of the twin components being 0.3720 (19):0.6280 (19).

The crystal structure of the monoclinic polymorph of the primary amino acid L-histidine has been determined for the first time by single-crystal neutron diffraction, while that of the orthorhombic polymorph has been reinvestigated with an untwinned crystal, improving the experimental precision and accuracy. For each polymorph, neutron diffraction data were collected at 5, 105 and 295 K. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments were also performed at the same temperatures. The two polymorphs, whose crystal packing is interpreted by intermolecular interaction energies calculated using the Pixel method, show differences in the energy and geometry of the hydrogen bond formed along the c direction. Taking advantage of the X-ray diffraction data collected at 5 K, the precision and accuracy of the new Hirshfeld atom refinement method implemented in NoSpherA2 were probed choosing various settings of the functionals and basis sets, together with the use of explicit clusters of molecules and enhanced rigid-body restraints for H atoms. Equivalent atomic coordinates and anisotropic displacement parameters were compared and found to agree well with those obtained from the corresponding neutron structural models.

Single crystals of molybdenum-incorporated tris(thiourea)zinc(II) sulfate (MoZTS) are grown by the slow evaporation solution growth technique. Crystal composition as determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that it belongs to the orthorhombic system with space groupPca21and cell parametersa= 11.153 (2),b= 7.7691 (14),c= 15.408 (3) Å,V= 1335.14 (4) Å3andZ= 4. The surface morphological changes are studied by scanning electron microscopy. The vibrational patterns in FT–IR are used to identify the functional group and TGA/DTA (thermogravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis) indicates the stability of the material. The structure and the crystallinity of the material were confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction analysis and the simulated X-ray diffraction (XRD) closely matches the experimental one with varied intensity patterns. The band gap energy is estimated using diffuse reflectance data by the application of the Kubelka–Munk algorithm. The relative second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency measurements reveal that MoZTS has an efficiency comparable to that of tris(thiourea)zinc(II) sulfate (ZTS). Hirshfeld surfaces were derived using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Investigation of the intermolecular interactions and crystal packingviaHirshfeld surface analysis reveal that the close contacts are associated with strong interactions. Intermolecular interactions as revealed by the fingerprint plot and close packing could be the possible reasons for facile charge transfer leading to SHG activity.

A second, monoclinic, polymorph of the title compound, C14H8Cl2, has been found. In addition to the structure of this monoclinic form, the structure of the previously described orthorhombic form [Desvergne, Chekpo & Bouas-Laurent (1978).J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 2, pp. 84–87; Benites, Maverick & Fronczek (1996).Acta Cryst.C52, 647–648] has been redetermined at low temperature and using modern methods. The low-temperature structure of the orthorhombic form is of significantly higher quality than the previously published structure and additional details can be derived. A comparison of the crystal packing of the two forms with a focus on weak intermolecular C—H...Cl interactions shows the monoclinic structure to have one such interaction linking the molecules into infinite ribbons, while two crystallographically independent C—H...Cl interactions give rise to an interesting infinite three-dimensional network in the orthorhombic crystal form.

The measurement of Pendellösungs oscillations was used to observe the time dependent nucleation of oxygen in a Czochralski grown single crystal at 750°C. It is shown, that the theoretical approach of the statistical dynamical theory describes the data well. Within the framework of this theory it is possible to determine the static Debye-Waller-factor as a function of the annealing time by evaluating the mean value of the Bragg intensity and the period length. The temperature influence on the Pendellösungs distance was corrected for by measurement of a Float-zone sample at the same temperature.
