The crystal structure of syn-9-phenyl-2,11-dithia[3,3]metacyclophane, 6, has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and refined to an R value of 0.0723. The crystal structure is triclinic with a = 9.573(2), b = 12.010(4), c = 8.433(2) Å, α = 108.02(2)°, β = 95.95(2)°, γ = 102.25(3)°, and the space group is [Formula: see text] with two molecules per cell, D(meas) = 1.313 g cm−3, D(calc) = 1.306 g cm−3. The bridging S atoms differ in their conformations so that the S … S distance is 6.391 Å. The metacyclophane rings have a distance of 3.57 Å between their centres and form a dihedral angle of 20.5°. The phenyl substituent forms an angle of 78.6° with the adjacent ring and has an ortho H-atom very close to the internal H-atom of the opposite ring. The phenyl substituted aromatic ring is non-planar and in a shallow boat form, the ring atoms C(11) (internal) and C(14) being 0.038(4) and 0.037(5) Å out-of-plane on the outside, the methylene C substituents are 0.212(5) and 0.199(5) Å out-of-plane on the inside. The first atom of the phenyl group is in the bowsprit position and is 0.274(4) Å above the mean plane on the outer side of the molecule. The opposite metacyclophane ring is less strained but in a similar boat form with the methylene C-atoms 0.092(4) and 0.067(6) Å to the inside. The mean bond angle at S is 103.5(2)°, the angles at C (methylene) range from 113.3(3)° to 118.0(3)°.The variable temperature 1Hmr spectra results are consistent with the syn conformer 6 being dominant in solution and frozen at temperatures <60 °C as conformer A, with only relatively restricted further twisting of the biphenyl being found at ambient temperature.

A new solvatomorph of [Au3(1-Methylimidazolate)3] (Au3(MeIm)3)—the simplest congener of imidazolate-based Au(I) cyclic trinuclear complexes (CTCs)—has been identified and structurally characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed a dichloromethane solvate exhibiting remarkably short intermolecular Au⋯Au distances (3.2190(7) Å). This goes along with a dimer formation in the solid state, which is not observed in a previously reported solvent-free crystal structure. Hirshfeld analysis, in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, indicates that the dimerization is generally driven by attractive aurophilic interactions, which are commonly associated with the luminescence properties of CTCs. Since Au3(MeIm)3 has previously been reported to be emissive in the solid-state, we conducted a thorough photophysical study combined with phase analysis by means of powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), to correctly attribute the photophysically active phase of the bulk material. Interestingly, all investigated powder samples accessed via different preparation methods can be assigned to the pristine solvent-free crystal structure, showing no aurophilic interactions. Finally, the observed strong thermochromism of the solid-state material was investigated by means of variable-temperature PXRD, ruling out a significant phase transition being responsible for the drastic change of the emission properties (hypsochromic shift from 710 nm to 510 nm) when lowering the temperature down to 77 K.

Abstract The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Due to the Lewis acidic character of the iodine substituent a “zig-zag” chain is formed via intermolecular interactions (2.933(4) A) between iodine and oxygen atoms of theocarbamate moiety. A three-dimensional network is formed through hydrogen-bridging (2.04 A) between NH-groups and the oxygen atoms of the neighbouring carbamate group of the next molecule.

CH3HgN3 crystallizes in the space group P21/c with four molecules per unit cell. The structure was solved by common crystallographic methods using X-ray diffraction data that were collected at a temperature of 100°K. The cooling was necessary to limit the radiation damage of the crystals. The molecules possess an essentially linear C-Hg-N group; in the crystals they are associated to layers bearing the methyl groups on their outer side.

We performed a series of glancing angle and reflection x-ray diffraction experiments to study both the in-plane and out-of-plane structure of epitaxial YSi2−x films grown on Si(111), with thicknesses ranging from 85 Å to 510 Å. These measurements allowed us to characterize the mean film lattice constants, the position correlation lengths of the film, and the presence and extent of strain as a function of film thickness. We find that the strain along the basal plane increases as a function of increasing thickness to approximately 1% in the 510 Å film; the corresponding out-of-plane strain is such that the film unit cell volume increases as a function of thickness. The corresponding in-plane microscopic strain varies from 0.5% for the 85 Å film to 0.3% for the 510 Å film. We relate our results to the mode of film growth and the presence of pinholes in the films.

An indole-containing diarylethene with a trifluoromethyl function at the meta-position of the phenyl group attached to the thiophene moiety was synthesised. Its structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and its photochemical properties in solution and in the single crystalline phases were studied. The compound showed relatively high fluorescent modulation efficiency and cyclisation quantum yield.
