Materials that combine flexibility and open metal sites are crucial for myriad applications. In this article, we report a 2D coordination polymer (CP) assembled from CuII ions and a flexible meta-carborane-based linker [Cu2(L1)2(Solv)2]•xSolv (1-DMA, 1-DMF, and 1-MeOH; L1: 1,7-di(4-carboxyphenyl)-1,7-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane). 1-DMF undergoes an unusual example of reversible phase transition on solvent treatment (i.e., MeOH and CH2Cl2). Solvent exchange, followed by thermal activation provided a new porous phase that exhibits an estimated Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 301 m2 g−1 and is capable of a CO2 uptake of 41 cm3 g−1. The transformation is reversible and 1-DMF is reformed on addition of DMF to the porous phase. We provide evidence for the reversible process being the result of the formation/cleavage of weak but attractive B–H∙∙∙Cu interactions by a combination of single-crystal (SCXRD), powder (PXRD) X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and DFT calculations.

Octahedral tris(ethylenediamine) coordination complexes demonstrate helicoidal chirality, due to the arrangement of the ligands around the metal core. The enantiomers of the nitrate salts [Ni(en)3](NO3)2 and [Zn(en)3](NO3)2 spontaneously resolve to form a mixture of conglomerate crystals, which present a reversible phase transition from space group P6322 to enantiomorphic P6522 or P6122, with the latter depending on the handedness of the enantiomer. We report here the synthesis and characterization of [Mn(en)3](NO3)2 and [Co(en)3](NO3)2, which are isostructural to the Zn(II) and Ni(II) derivatives. The Mn(II) analogue undergoes the same phase transition centered at 150(2) K, as determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The Co(II) derivative does not demonstrate a phase transition down to 2 K, as evidenced by powder X-ray diffraction and heat capacity measurements. The phase transition does not impact the magnetic properties of the Ni(II) and Mn(II) analogues; these high spin compounds display Curie behavior that is consistent with S = 1 and 5/2, respectively, down to 20 K, while the temperature-dependent magnetic moment for the Co(II) compound reveals a significant orbital contribution.

The quasi-binary systems Zn1-xCdxAl2S4, ZnAl2(1-x)Ga2xS4 and ZnAl2S4(1-x)Se4x have been investigated by X-ray diffraction and vibrational spectroscopy. In the spinel ZnAI2S4 up to 20% of Zn can be replaced by Cd. In the two other systems, ZnAl2S4 has no detectable homogeneity range. The thiogallate phases have much broader ranges of homogeneity. The compositions of the compounds at the phase boundary of the thiogallate phase are Zn0.4Cd0.6Al2S4, ZnGa0.4Al1.6S4, and ZnAl2S2.8Se1.2. At approximately 950 °C ZnAl2Se4 undergoes a reversible phase transition to a wurtzite-type structure. This phase transition is also observed for the solid solutions ZnAl2S4(1-x)Se4x; with 1.0 > x > 0.3. The FIR spectra are discussed.

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

Through in-situ, high-pressure x-ray diffraction experiments we have shown that the homoleptic perovskite-like coordination polymer [(CH3)2NH2]Cu(HCOO)3 undergoes a pressure-induced orbital reordering phase transition above 5.20 GPa. This transition is distinct...

This paper focuses on the structural change and the thermochromism of the phase transition of the hybrid (C12H25NH3)2FeCl4. The temperature and the structures of the phase transition is investigated by a thermal gravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), an infrared spectra (IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The UV adsorption spectra account for the thermochromism. The results suggest that the reversible phase transition arises from the structural changes of the organic chains. The thermochromism is presumably due to the electrons redistribution on the levels and to the energy transition to translational and rotational motions of the organic chains.

AbstractSingle crystals which exhibit mechanical flexibility are promising materials for advanced technological applications. Before such materials can be used, a detailed understanding of the mechanisms of bending is needed. Using single crystal X-ray diffraction and microfocus Raman spectroscopy, we study in atomic detail the high-pressure response of the plastically flexible coordination polymer [Zn(μ-Cl)2(3,5-dichloropyridine)2]n (1). Contradictory to three-point bending, quasi-hydrostatic compression of (1) is completely reversible, even following compression to over 9 GPa. A structural phase transition is observed at ca. 5 GPa. DFT calculations show this transition to result from the pressure-induced softening of low-frequency vibrations. This phase transition is not observed during three-point-bending. Microfocus synchrotron X-ray diffraction revealed that bending yields significant mosaicity, as opposed to compression. Hence, our studies indicate of overall disparate mechanical responses of bulk flexibility and quasi-hydrostatic compression within the same crystal lattice. We suspect this to be a general feature of plastically bendable materials.

We have reinvestigated the solid state structure of 1,1'-bis-(ferrocenyldimethylsilyl)ferrocenylene, (η5-FcSiMe2C5H4)2Fe, Fc = (η5-C5H5)Fe(η5-C5H4). Using a DSC technique we observed a reversible phase transition for this compound at 169(3)K with ΔH = 1.1 kJ/mol, and ΔS = 6.54 J/mol K. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study has demonstrated that this phase change involves a transformation from a high temperature phase, space group P21/c, Z = 2, to a triclinic low temperature phase, space group P[Formula: see text], Z = 4. The phase transition involves the loss of the molecular crystallographic center of symmetry and rotations about the terminal and central cyclopentadienyl ring pairs. The results are compared to those reported for ferrocene.Key words: solid state, phase transition, silyleneferrocenylene.
