The tri-ortho-thymotide (TOT) clathrates of dibromo- and dichloromethane were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction at 200 K and solid-state 2H NMR spectroscopy as a function of temperature. The host structure was found to be typical of other cage-type TOT clathrates. The X-ray results showed a substantial amount of disorder among the guest molecules. In both clathrates, multiple guest molecule positions could be modeled. The heavy atoms of all the guest molecule positions lie approximately in the same plane, with some out-of-plane distortion. The guest molecules were of two different types in positions symmetric about the crystallographic twofold rotation axis: type A guests, with carbon atoms well removed from the crystallographic twofold axis, and type B guests, with carbon atoms very close to the twofold axis. The 2H NMR spectra for the guests confirmed that the disorder was dynamic. The experimental results could be accounted for by the presence of three simultaneous types of molecular motion, all fast with respect to the 2H quadrupolar interaction: (i) twofold molecular flips about the molecular C2 symmetry axis, (ii) exchange between the type A and type B sites in a single plane, and (iii) a two-site libration of the plane containing the heavy atoms of the A and B guest sites with a temperature-dependent amplitude.

We report novel pseudorotaxanes based on the complexation between pillar[4]arene[1]quinone and 1,10-dibromodecane. The complexation is found to have a 1:1 host–guest complexation stoichiometry in chloroform but a 2:1 host–guest complexation stoichiometry in the solid state. From single crystal X-ray diffraction, the linear guest molecules thread into cyclic pillar[4]arene[1]quinone host molecules in the solid state, stabilized by CH∙∙∙π interactions and hydrogen bonds. The bromine atoms at the periphery of the guest molecule provide convenience for the further capping of the pseudorotaxanes to construct rotaxanes.

The construction of a porphyrin array by a stepwise, hierarchical self-assembly process is described. Four molecular clip host molecules are complexed, in a solid state self-assembly process, to one porphyrin guest molecule. When dissolved in chloroform, the 4:1 host-guest complexes spontaneously self-assemble into an array in which the porphyrins are organized in a cofacial stack. The ensemble is stabilized by a combination of π-π interactions between the porphyrins and between the aromatic surfaces of the host molecules.

One-dimensional solid-state microcrystals combining a host molecule cyclodextrin (CD) and UV-responsive guest molecule spiropyran (SP) present a light-driven fluorescence change based on the isomerization of the SP molecule in the CD matrix.

Cadmium telluride has become increasingly important in a number of technological applications, particularly in the area of laser-optical components and solid state devices, Microstructural characterizations of the material have in the past been somewhat limited because of the lack of suitable sample preparation and thinning techniques. Utilizing a modified jet thinning apparatus and a potassium dichromate-sulfuric acid thinning solution, a procedure has now been developed for obtaining thin contamination-free samples for TEM examination.

The structural unit of solid state collagen complexes has been reported by Porter and Vanamee via EM and by Cowan, North and Randall via x-ray diffraction to be an ellipsoidal unit of 210-270 A. length by 50-100 A. diameter. It subsequently was independently demonstrated by us in dog tendon, dermis, and induced complexes. Its detailed morphologic, dimensional and molecular weight (MW) aspects have now been determined. It is pear-shaped in long profile with m diameters of 57 and 108 A. and m length of 263 A. (Fig. 1, tendon, KMnO4 fixation, Na-tungstate; Fig. 2a, schematic of unit in long, C, and x-sectional profiles of its thin, xB, and bulbous, xA portions; Fig. 2b, tendon essentially unmodified by ether and 0.4 N NaOH treatment, Na-tungstate). The unit consists of a uniquely coild cable, c, of ṁ 22.9 A. diameter and length of 2580-3316 A. The cable consists of three 2nd-strands, s, each of m 10.6 A.

Recent liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) research has sought to define structure-property relationships of these complex new materials. The two major types of LCPs, thermotropic and lyotropic LCPs, both exhibit effects of process history on the microstructure frozen into the solid state. The high mechanical anisotropy of the molecules favors formation of complex structures. Microscopy has been used to develop an understanding of these microstructures and to describe them in a fundamental structural model. Preparation methods used include microtomy, etching, fracture and sonication for study by optical and electron microscopy techniques, which have been described for polymers. The model accounts for the macrostructures and microstructures observed in highly oriented fibers and films.Rod-like liquid crystalline polymers produce oriented materials because they have extended chain structures in the solid state. These polymers have found application as high modulus fibers and films with unique properties due to the formation of ordered solutions (lyotropic) or melts (thermotropic) which transform easily into highly oriented, extended chain structures in the solid state.
