Abstract Ba2Na(CN2)(CN)3 was obtained by the reaction of Ba2N with melamine and NaCN at 700 °C. The compound was structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray investigations (Fd3̄m, a = 1518.8(3) pm, Z = 16). In the crystal structure the Ba2+ ions form a cubic close packed arrangement, the Na+ and the CN2-2 ions occupy the octahedral interstices. The CN-ions are located within the close packed Ba2+ layers. The unit cell of Ba2Na(CN2)(CN)3 contains two interpenetrating substructures of the zinc-blende structure type, building up a variant of NaTl. A reversible phase transition has been observed during cooling of the compound. Whereas the Ba2(CN2)(CN)3 sublattice remains nearly unaffected in this process, the Na+ ions of the low-temperature phase are statistically distributed on two crystallographic positions.

A phase transition has been observed in bis(pyridinium) hexachlorometallates (C5H5NH)2[MIVCl6]. M = Sn. Te. Pb. Pt. The crystal structure of the low temperature phase II of the salt with M = Sn was determined, space group C 1ḷ- P 1̅, Z = 1 (a = 734.1pm, b = 799.0 pm, c = 799.7 pm,α= 83.229°. β = 65.377°, γ= 84.387°, T = 297 K). The four compounds are isotypic in phase II as well as in the high temperature phase I (C2H2-B2 /m, Z = 2) for which the crystal structure is known for M = Te . The lattice constants of all compounds (both phases) are given. The temperature dependence of the 35Cl NQR spectrum was investigated. The three line 35Cl NQR spectrum is in agreement with the crystal structure. The dynamics of the pyridinium ring shows up in a fade out of part of the 35Cl NQR spectrum . The influence o f H ↔ D exchange on 35Cl NQR is studied and an assignment of ν (35Cl) ↔ Cl(i) is proposed. The nature of the phase transition P1̅ (Z = 1) ↔ B2 /m (Z = 2) is discussed.

The crystal structure determination based on 90 K data of the title imine ligand, C18H10ClNO, revealed non-merohedral twinning with three twin domains. In our experience, this is an indication of an ordering phase transition. Consequently, the structure was redetermined with higher temperature data, and a reversible phase transition was discovered. The higher temperature phase is indeed an ordered structure. At the higher temperature, the 4-chlorophenyl group has rotated by ca 7° into a crystallographic mirror plane. Warming the crystal from 90 K to 250 K changes the space group from triclinic P-1, to monoclinic P21/m. Diverse non-classical interactions are present in the crystal packing, and these are described for the phase change reported in this work. The crystal structure of the title imine ligand, measured at 100 K, has been reported on previously [Kovach et al. (2011). J. Mol. Struct. 992, 33–38].

[NH2(CH3)2]3Sb2Cl9 (dimethylammonium nonachlorodiantimonate, DMACA) has, at 200 K, a monoclinic Pc space group, with a = 9.470 (3), b = 9.034 (3), c = 14.080 (4) Å, β = 95.81 (3)°, V = 1198.4 (4) Å3, Z = 2 [R = 0.024, wR = 0.025 for 4613 independent reflections with F > 4σ(F)]. At 298 K DMACA has P21/c space group with a = 9.686 (3), b = 9.037 (3), c = 14.066 (4) Å, β = 95.57 (3)°, V = 1225.3 (5) Å3, Z = 2 [R = 0.034, wR = 0.035 for 2736 reflections with F > 4σ(F)]. The anionic sublattice of DMACA consists of polyanionic (Sb2Cl9 3−), layers. In the low-temperature phase there are three crystallographically non-equivalent dimethylammonium cations in the crystal structure. One of the cations is located inside the polyanionic layers, two others – one ordered and one disordered – between the polyanionic layers. In the room-temperature phase there are two non-equivalent cations – both disordered – in the crystal structure. Temperature dependencies of lattice parameters between 200 and 300 K were determined. The occurrence of a second-order phase transition at T = 242 K was confirmed. The dependence of lengths of Sb—Cl contacts on the presence and strength of N—H...CI hydrogen bonds was discussed. It was found that lengths of Sb—Cl bonds may differ from each other by as much as 0.3 Å, because of the presence of N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds. These differences were attributed to distortion of the lone-electron pair on antimony(Ill).

We have investigated the high pressure behaviour of Na3As by powder X-ray diffraction. At 3.6 GPa the material undergoes a reversible phase transition from the Na3As structure (P 63/mmc, a = 487.4(8) pm, c = 851.5(20) pm, Z = 2, at 3.6 GPa) to the Li3Bi structure type (Fm 3̅ m, a = 683.5(15) pm, Z = 4, at 3.6 GaP). The equation of states is given for the pressure range up to 26 GPa. Results are discussed with respect to structural properties of related A3IBV-compounds

Pyridinium-3-carboxylic acid perchlorate was synthesized and separated as crystals. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements show that this compound undergoes a reversible phase transition at ∼ 135 K with a wide hysteresis of 15 K. Dielectric measurements confirm the transition at ∼ 127 K. Measurement of the unit-cell parameters versus temperature shows that the values of the c axis and β angle change abruptly and remarkably at 129 (2) K, indicating that the system undergoes a first-order transition at T c = 129 K. The crystal structures determined at 103 and 298 K are all monoclinic in P21/c, showing that the phase transition is isosymmetric. The crystal contains one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chains of the pyridinium-3-carboxylic acid cations, which are further linked to perchlorate anions by hydrogen bonds to form well separated infinite planar layers. The most distinct differences between the structures of the higher-temperature phase and the lower-temperature phase are the change of the distance between the adjacent pyridinium ring planes within the hydrogen-bonded chains and the relative displacement between the hydrogen-bonded layers. Structural analysis shows that the driving force of the transition is the reorientation of the pyridinium-3-carboxylic acid cations. The degree of order of the perchlorate anions may be a secondary order parameter.

AbstractHigh-resolution, neutron time-of-flight, powder diffraction data have been collected on natural crocoite between 873 and 1073 K. Thermal analysis carried out in the 1920s had suggested that chemically pure PbCrO4 exhibited two structural phase transitions, at 964 K, to the β phase, and at 1056 K, to the γ phase. In this study, no evidence was found for the α-β structural phase transition, however a high-temperature phase transition was found at ∼1068 K from the ambient-temperature monazite structure type to the baryte structure type. The phase transition, close to the temperatures reported for the β to γ phase modifications, is first order and is accompanied by a change in volume of −1.6%. The crystal structure of this phase has been refined using the Rietveld method to agreement factors of Rp = 0.018, Rwp = 0.019, Rp = 0.011. No evidence for premonitory behaviour was found in the temperature dependence of the monoclinic lattice constants rom 873 K to 1063 K and these have been used to determine the thermal expansion tensor of crocoite just below the phase transition. At 1000 K the magnitudes of the tensor coefficients are α11, 2.66(1) × 10−5 K−1; α22, 2.04(1) × 10−5 K−1; α33, 4.67(4) × 10−5 K−1; and α13, −1.80(2) × 10−5 K−1 using the IRE convention for the orientation of the tensor basis. The orientation of the principal axes of the thermal expansion tensor are very close to those reported previously for the temperature range 50–300 K.
