ABSTRACTIn α-C5n-HNO3 the condensation of the room-temperature liquid-like diffuse ring associated with the disorder-order transition around 250 K is studied and the low-temperature. superstructure is examined.It is found that β-C8n-HNO3 exhibits an in-plane incommensurate order at room temperature.Two types of graphite-Br2 are found. Low-temperature phase transitions in C8Br are observed at T1 ≍ 277 K and T2 ≍ 297 K. The room-temperature structure of C14Br is reexamined. Special attention is given to diffuse scattering and incommensurability.

AbstractThe room temperature structure withP21/csymmetry of the zinc(II) complex of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid was published by Okabe and Oya (N. Okabe, N. Oya, Copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid.Acta Crystallogr. C.2000,56, 305). Here we report crystal structure of the low temperature phaseβ-[Zn(pydcH)2]·3H2O, pydc=C7H3NO4, resulting from the phase transition around 200K. The diffraction pattern of the low temperature phase revealed satellite reflections, which could be indexed with q-vector 0.4051(10)b* corresponding to (3+1)Dincommensurately modulated structure. The modulated structure was solved in the superspace groupX21/c(0b0)s0, whereXstands for a non-standard centring vector (½, 0, 0, ½), and compared with the room temperature phase. It is shown that hydrogen bonds are the main driving force of modulation.

The potassium manganese tetrafluoroberyllate langbeinite compound has been studied in the temperature range 100–300 K. Using DSC measurements, a phase transition has been detected at 213 K. The space group of the low-temperature phase was determined to be P1121 using X-ray diffraction experiments and optical observations of the domain structure. The b axis is doubled with respect to the prototypic P213 cubic phase. Lattice parameters were determined by powder diffraction data [a = 10.0690 (8), b = 20.136 (2), c = 10.0329 (4) Å, γ = 90.01 (1)°]. A precise analysis of the BeF4 tetrahedra in the low-temperature phase shows that two independent tetrahedra rotate in opposite directions along the doubled crystallographic axis. A symmetry mode analysis of the monoclinic distortion is also reported. This is the first report of the existence of such a phase transition in K2Mn2(BeF4)3 and also of a new type of low-temperature structure for langbeinite compounds.
