Neutron radiography is regarded as complementary to X-ray radiography in terms of transmittance through materials, but its spatial resolution is still insufficient. In order to achieve higher resolution in neutron imaging, several approaches have been adopted, such as optical magnification and event centroiding. In this paper, the authors focused on modification of the scintillator. A Gd3Al2Ga3O12:Ce single-crystal scintillator was applied to neutron radiography for the first time and a spatial resolution of 10.5 μm was achieved. The results indicate that this material can be a powerful candidate for a new neutron scintillator providing a resolution in micrometer order by optimizing the optical system and increasing the scintillator luminosity.

Methyl Triflate

Homoleptic eight-fold coordinated methylisocyanide complexes of W(IV) and W(V) have been prepared for the first time. The reaction of [NBu4]4[W(CN)8] with methyl triflate MeOTf gives [W(CNMe)8][OTf]4. The even stronger methylating mixture of methyl fluoride MeF and arsenic pentafluoride AsF5 in liquid sulfur dioxide SO2 is able to fully alkylate both [NBu4]4[W(CN)8] and [NBu4]3[W(CN)8]. The paramagnetic octakis(methylisocyanide)- tungsten(V) [W(CNMe)8][AsF6]5 is thermally highly unstable above −30 °C. All compounds have been characterized via single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR and Raman, as well as NMR or EPR spectroscopy<br>

Two symmetrical dibenzoquinone derivatives were isolated from solid cultures of the fungus Acremonium cavaraeanum. Compound 1 was new and identified as 2,7-dihydroxy-3,6,9-trimethyl-9 H-xanthene-1,4,5,8-tetraone. Compound 2 was 3,3’,6,6’-tetrahydroxy-4,4’-dimethyl-1,1’-bi- p-benzoquinone, i.e. oosporein, which was reported from A. cavaraeanum for the first time. The structure of the dibenzoquinone (1) was unambiguously elucidated using a combination of MS, IR, 1D- and 2D-NMR, and the dibenzoquinone (2) was further determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Abstract The molecular and single crystal structure of O,O-diethyl O-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl] phosphorothioate oxalate, as determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies, is described for the first time; although this compound is well-known by industry and research from the mid-20th century. The known decomposition product of pure O,O-diethyl O-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl] phosphorothioate could also be structurally characterized. Additionally, the compounds are characterized by recent analytical methods e.g. NMR. The findings of our study support the thesis that the isolated decomposition product must be a by-product of the thiono-thiolo rearrangement process of the title compound.

This work showcases a method to map the full deformation tensor in a single micro-sized crystal. It is shown that measuring the position of two Bragg reflections in reciprocal space is sufficient to obtain the full deformation tensor, if the condition of incompressibility of the material is imposed. This method is used to reveal the surface tension induced deformation at the edges of an as-grown single-crystal VO2 microwire. All components of the deformation tensor of the microwire were measured down to an absolute value of 10−4 in an 8 × 14 µm projected area of the wire. With a beam-defined spatial resolution of 150 × 150 nm, the measurement time was merely 2.5 h.

The structure of the layered noncentrosymmetric titanosilicate AM-1 (also known as JDF-L1, disodium titanium tetrasilicate dihydrate), Na4Ti2Si8O22·4H2O, grown as small single crystals without the use of organics, has been refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The H atom has been located for the first time, and the hydrogen-bonding scheme is also characterized by IR and Raman spectroscopy. All atoms are in general positions except for the Na, the Ti, one Ti-bound O, one Si-bound O and the water O atoms (site symmetries 2, 4, 4, 2 and 2, respectively).

Pseudobinary cyanides of monovalent and divalent metals were synthesized, and X-ray and Raman data of the cyanides were measured. Single crystal X-ray structure analyses were performed on Zn(CN)2 (Pn3̄m (No. 224), a = 591.32(7) pm), Hg(CN)2 (I4̄2d (No. 122), a = 969.22(14) and c = 890,15(18) pm) and for the first time on AgCN (I4̄2d (No. 166), a = 600.58(8) and c = 526.28(11) pm). The data are compared with literature data. The reaction of TlF and NaCN in 25% aqueous ammonia solution in air led to Tl5(CO3)2(CN) which was characterized by X-ray (Cmca (No. 64), 1468.1(3), 1171.6(2) and 1266.0(3) pm) and Raman spectroscopy.

The V4+ (spin ½) oxovanadates AV3O7 (A = Ca, Sr) were synthesized and studied by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The room-temperature structures of both compounds are orthorhombic and their respective space groups are Pnma and Pmmn. The previously assumed structure of SrV3O7 has been revised and the temperature dependence of both crystal structures in the temperature ranges 297–100 K and 315–100 K, respectively, is discussed for the first time.

A bulk size (∼60 mm length and 20 mm diameter) single crystal of L-cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate has been successfully grown for the first time by the unidirectional Sankaranarayanan–Ramasamy method and found to be a nonlinear optical material by observing the second harmonic generation (SHG). The crystal structure has been confirmed by single-crystal as well as powder X-ray diffraction analysis. The Fourier transform–Raman technique was used to study the vibrational modes and functional groups. The grown crystal was found to be highly transparent. The crystalline perfection has been evaluated by high-resolution X-ray diffractometry and the grown crystal was found to be free from macroscopic defects such as structural grain boundaries. The relative SHG efficiency and laser damage threshold values were found to be 1.2 and 5.5 times that of a potassium dihydrogen phosphate crystal, respectively. The dielectric constant, dielectric loss and alternating current conductivity were measured by an impedance analyser over a wide range of frequency between 100 Hz and 5 MHz. The dielectric constant was found to be stable for the entire range of frequency with very small dielectric loss, making this material suitable for device applications. The present investigation reveals that the title compound, since it can be grown with desirable size along a predetermined direction and it is a good nonlinear optical material with the prerequisite optical and dielectric properties, is a good candidate for photonic or opto-electronic applications.
