The ethylene-propylene polymer (PP) was modified by using a rare earth β-nucleating agent (WBG-II). The crystallization characteristics of PP induced by WBG-II were investigated through the wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). The effect of β-nucleating agent on the mechanical property of PP under low temperature was also researched. The results confirmed that β-nucleating agent WBG-II can change the crystal structure of PP and induce the β-form crystals in the PP to develop. Moreover, under the room temperature, with the increment of WBG-II, the tensile strength, bending strength and modulus of the modified PP increase, but the impact strength and elongation at break decrease; and especially at-10 °C, this tendency is more obvious.

AbstractDSC and high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction measurements in the range 295 K–100 K show that RS-thiocamphor undergoes two phase transitions. The first, at around 260 K on cooling, is from the room-temperature body-centred-cubic phase to a short-lived intermediate. At 258 K the low-temperature form starts to appear. The crystal structure of the latter is orthorhombic, space group

AbstractThe impact of Nd2O3, MoO3 and RuO2 addition on the competition between the crystallization of apatite Ca2Nd8(SiO4)6O2 and powellite CaMoO4 phases which both may appear in High Level Waste nuclear glass (under certain specific conditions of cooling and glass composition) has been studied on a simplified composition belonging to the system SiO2-Na2O-CaO-Al2O3-B2O3. X-ray diffraction (at room temperature and high temperature) and scanning electron microscopy measurements have been performed on five glasses under two different thermal treatments. We show that RuO2 acts as a nucleating agent for apatite. Moreover, neodymium and molybdenum cations seem to be very close in the glassy network as Nd2O3 addition stops the phase separation of molybdates and inhibits the crystallization of CaMoO4. On the contrary, MoO3 seems to favor the crystallization of apatite. For several samples, the evolution of the distribution of Nd3+ cations after crystallization was followed by optical absorption spectroscopy.

Tl2LiYCl6 (TLYC) is an analog to Cs2LiYCl6, which is currently an industry-standard inorganic scintillator for radiation detection with good gamma–neutron discrimination. The presence of thallium (Z = 81) instead of cesium (Z = 55) in the elpasolite structure increases the density of the compound and its stopping power for gamma rays. This work investigates the impact of the Tl atom on the elpasolite structure. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction at room temperature and powder neutron diffraction with temperature control were used to characterize the crystal structure of TLYC between 296 and 725 K. The presence of Tl leads to a distortion of the cubic elpasolite structure at room temperature: a tetragonal P42 crystal structure (space group 77, a = 10.223, c = 10.338 Å) is identified for TLYC at 296 K. A structural transition to the cubic elpasolite Fm 3 m phase (space group 225) is observed at 464 K. The thermal expansion of the material for each crystal direction is well described by a linear relationship, except for the region between 400 and 464 K where the lattice parameters converge.

N,N′,N″,N‴-Tetraisopropylpyrophosphoramide 1 is a pyrophosphoramide with documented butyrylcholinesterase inhibition, a property shared with the more widely studied octamethylphosphoramide (Schradan). Unlike Schradan, 1 is a solid at room temperature making it one of a few known pyrophosphoramide solids. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and compared with that of other previously described solid pyrophosphoramides. The pyrophosphoramide discussed in this study was synthesised by reacting iso-propyl amine with pyrophosphoryl tetrachloride under anhydrous conditions. A unique supramolecular motif was observed when compared with previously published pyrophosphoramide structures having two different intermolecular hydrogen bonding synthons. Furthermore, the potential of a wider variety of supramolecular structures in which similar pyrophosphoramides can crystallise was recognised. Proton (1H) and Phosphorus 31 (31P) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (MS) were carried out to complete the analysis of the compound.

Poly(ʟ-lactide) (PLLA) films, even of high thickness, exhibiting co-crystalline and crystalline α phases with their chain axes preferentially perpendicular to the film plane (c⊥ orientation) have been obtained. This c⊥ orientation, unprecedented for PLLA films, can be achieved by the crystallization of amorphous films as induced by low-temperature sorption of molecules being suitable as guests of PLLA co-crystalline forms, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, cyclopentanone or 1,3-dioxolane. This kind of orientation is shown and quantified by two-dimensional wide-angle X-ray diffraction (2D-WAXD) patterns, as taken with the X-ray beam parallel to the film plane (EDGE patterns), which present all the hk0 arcs centered on the meridian. PLLA α-form films, as obtained by low-temperature guest-induced crystallization, also exhibit high transparency, being not far from those of the starting amorphous films.

The crystal structure of zirconium trichloride was determined from X-ray diffraction patterns. Zirconium trichloride belongs to the [Formula: see text]space group.

The crystal structure and thermal properties of the [Formula: see text] compound have been investigated. Structural studies were performed by X-ray diffraction at room temperature. The crystal structure of this compound was found to correspond to the hexagonal symmetry of the space group P61. Thermal properties were studied using a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found in the temperature range [Formula: see text] that thermal effects occur at temperatures [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The thermodynamic parameters of these effects are calculated.

The exhaustive hydroboration of the (C ≡ C )-groups in Me2Si(C ≡ CMe)2 (A ) by adding ethyldiboranes(6) at room temperature is presumed to lead initially to the formation of a mixture of the threo- and erythro-3,3,5,6-tetrakis(diethylboryl)-4,4-dimethyl-4-silaheptanes (1a , b). The threo-1a reacts further by borane catalysed intermolecular condensation to the substituted disilatetraboratricyclo[6.2.1.16.9]dodecane 2 with the formula , whose crystal structure [space group C2/c, a = 19.696(2), b = 10.371(1), c = 16.580(2) Å; β = 125.90(1)°; at 122 K] has been established by X -ray diffraction. In contrast, the erythro-1b undergoes intramolecular, thermal elimination of Et3B to give the 1,2-diethyl-2,4-bis(diethylboryl)- 3,3,5-trim ethyl-3-silaborolane (4). If A is added to an excess of undiluted B (“hydridebath”), then the two substituted diastereomers of the 1-carba-arachno-pentaboranes(10) (endo/exo-Et,SiH Me2) (3a, b), are formed preferentially as the result of an initial Si-C ≡-c le a v e d hydroboration.

AbstractAn array of molecules that is anisotropic in the extreme has been discovered in certain thermal-energy storage materials and is reported here: neopentylglycol (NPG) and NPG-rich solid solutions with pentaglycerine (PG) have a crystal structure, stable at room temperature, that consists of bimolecular chains of molecules that are all unidirectionally aligned throughout a crystal. There are hydrogen bonds between every molecule in one chain and its neighbors in that chain, but none between molecules of one chain and any molecules of the neighboring parallel chains. Thus there are strong intermolecular bonds along each chain and only weaker bonds between the chains. The structure has been determined by using modern single crystal techniques with 529 independent reflections from a crystal of NPG (C5H12O2). The structure is monoclinic with space group P21/c - C2h5. This anisotropic structure transforms to a cubic structure at higher temperatures.
