AbstractTwo classical criteria, by Pugh and Pettifor, have been widely used by metallurgists to predict whether a material will be brittle or ductile. A phenomenological correlation by Pugh between metal brittleness and its shear modulus to bulk modulus ratio was established more than 60 years ago. Nearly four decades later Pettifor conducted a quantum mechanical analysis of bond hybridization in a series of intermetallics and derived a separate ductility criterion based on the difference between two single-crystal elastic constants, C12–C44. In this paper, we discover the link between these two criteria and show that they are identical for materials with cubic crystal structures.

The crystal structure of 4-(2,3,5,6-tetrafluoropyridyl)diphenylphosphine oxide (1) contains two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Although the molecules are virtually identical in all other aspects, the P=O bond distances differ by ca. 0.02 Å. In contrast, although tris(pentafluorophenyl)phosphine oxide (2) has a similar crystal structure, the P=O bond distances of the two independent molecules are identical. To investigate the reason for the difference, a density functional theory study was undertaken. Both structures comprise chains of molecules. The attraction between molecules of 1, which comprises lone pair–π, weak hydrogen bonding and C–H∙∙∙arene interactions, has energies of 70 and 71 kJ mol−1. The attraction between molecules of 2 comprises two lone pair–π interactions, and has energies of 99 and 100 kJ mol−1. There is weak hydrogen bonding between molecules of adjacent chains involving the oxygen atom of 1. For one molecule, this interaction is with a symmetry independent molecule, whereas for the other, it also occurs with a symmetry related molecule. This provides a reason for the difference in P=O distance. This interaction is not possible for 2, and so there is no difference between the P=O distances of 2.

Abinitio molecular orbital calculations are reported for several cyclic and acyclic sulfones. The geometries of XSO2Y, where X, Y = H, F, or CH3 are optimized at the STO-3G* level. Similar calculations are reported for the smallest cyclic sulfone, thiirane-1,1 -dioxide, as well as the corresponding sulfoxide, thiirane-1-oxide, and the parent sulfide, thiirane. Where comparison with experiment is possible, the agreement is satisfactory. In order to consider the possibility of substantial differences between axial and equatorial S—O bonds in the gas phase, as observed in the crystal structure of 5H,8H-dibenzo[d,f][1,2]-dithiocin-1,1-dioxide, STO-3G* calculations are reported for a six-membered ring, thiane-1,1-dioxide, and a model eight-membered ring. Limited geometry optimization of the axial and equatorial S—O bonds in the chair conformations of the six- and eight-membered rings leads to bond lengths of 1.46 Å with the difference being less than 0.01 Å.

After all the hoopla associated with Jupiter’s publicity stunt died down, planetary scientists got down to the business of analyzing their data. Simulations of the aftermath of a comet or asteroid impact had been available for years and in July 1994 many of the predictions were confirmed, albeit some more dramatically than expected. The timing of the event was almost as if to remind us to take more seriously what we have been thinking and talking about for some time. Putting aside for a moment the implications for life on earth had something similar happened here, let’s look at some of the things that were learned. Argument continues as to what actually hit Jupiter, a comet or asteroid. When the Space Telescope Science Institute sent out a press release on September 29, 1994, entitled “Hubble Observations Shed New Light on Jupiter Collision,” we were led to expect an answer. The introduction gave us further hope: “Was it a comet or an asteroid?” But the institute didn’t have the answer. Its observations slightly favored a cometary origin, but the asteroid possibility still could not be ruled out. Comets are mostly icy, or so we like to think, and asteroids are mostly rocky or metallic, or so we like to think. When you really get down to it, this business of the difference between comets and asteroids has launched a new cottage industry within astronomical circles. A more recent hint that a comet was involved came from observations made from on board the Kuiper Airborne Observatory, an airplane that carries a beautiful infrared telescope high above most of the water vapor in the atmosphere where it can then see more clearly. Ann Sprague and Donald Huntern from the University of Arizona and their colleagues found evidence for water minutes after two of the fragments smashed into Jupiter. The water signature, a spectral line, indicated it was at a temperature of 500 kelvins (degrees above absolute zero, or about 230 Celcius), much hotter than Jupiter’s usual 200 kelvins (-73 Celcius). Although they could not rule out that the water originated deep in Jupiter’s clouds, the way it came and went over a period of 20 minutes suggested that it was liberated by the impact and was part of a cometlike object.

The reactivities of various N,N'- diacetylated piperazine-2,5-diones towards radical bromination reactions are reported. The studies show that glycyl centres of piperazine-2,5-diones are more reactive towards radical bromination reactions compared to α-substituted amino acid centres. In addition, large differences in reactivities were observed for the cis and trans isomers of N,N'-diacetylated alanine anhydride. Single-crystal structure determination of each isomer revealed that conformational effects may account for the difference in chemical reactivity.

The difference in outlook between metallurgist, physicist and designer on the problem of fatigue of metals is due not only to the differences in training and method but also in immediate objective, however closely their ultimate objectives may coincide.Physicists consider fatigue in terms of crystal structure and composition of the constituents of the crystal, noting in passing that certain types of crystal structures are associated with poor fatigue strength. The metallurgist's prime interest lies in the effect of surface finish, heat treatment, the physical condition of the surface, such as degree of cold work, the effect of carburised and nitrided cases having different hardness from the core. Both think in terms of controlled condition tests, with idealised test conditions such as cylindrical test specimens, close control of changes of section, polished surfaces of only a few micro-inches surface roughness, operating in a controlled atmosphere.

The crystal structure model of decafluorocyclohex-1-ene at 4.2 K derived from simulated powder diffraction data and solid-state energy minimization [Smrčoket al.(2013).Acta Cryst.B69, 395–404] is found to be incomplete. In this study it is completed by an additional alternative molecular orientation revealed from the difference density analysis and direct space search. The structure is refined by the derivative difference method in the rigid-body approximation leading to perfect agreement between observed and calculated neutron powder patterns.
