The electronic structure of infinite periodic systems (crystals) is treated with band structure theory, replacing molecular orbitals by crystal orbitals. The chapter starts out by introducing the electron gas and definitions of the Fermi momentum, the Fermi energy, and the density of states (DOS). A periodic linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) type treatment of an infinite periodic system is facilitated by the construction of Bloch functions. The notions of energy band and band gap are discussed with band structure concepts, using the approximations made in Huckel theory (chapter 12). One, two, and three-dimensional crystal lattices and the associated reciprocal lattices are introduced. The band structures of sodium metal, boron nitride, silicon, and graphite, are discussed as examples of metals, insulators, semi-conductors, and semi-metals, respectively. The chapter concludes with a brief discussion of the projected DOS and measures to determine bonding or antibonding interactions between atoms in a crystal.

A combinatorial topological analysis is carried out by means of the program package TOPOS4.0 [Blatov (2006), IUCr Comput. Commun. Newsl. 7, 4–38] and the matrix self-assembly is modeled for crystal structures of the ZrZn22 family (space group Fd\bar 3m, Pearson code cF184), including the compounds with superstructural ordering. A number of strict rules are proposed to model the crystal structures of intermetallics as a network of cluster precursors. According to these rules the self-assembly of the ZrZn22-like structures was considered within the hierarchical scheme: primary polyhedral cluster → zero-dimensional nanocluster precursor → one-dimensional primary chain → two-dimensional microlayer → three-dimensional microframework (three-dimensional supraprecursor). The suprapolyhedral cluster precursor AB 2 X 37 of diameter ∼ 12 Å and volume ∼ 350 Å3 consists of three polyhedra (one AX 16 of the \bar 43m point symmetry and two regular icosahedra BX 12 of the \bar 3m point symmetry); the packing of the clusters determines the translations in the resulting crystal structure. A novel topological type of the two-dimensional crystal-forming 4,4-coordinated binodal net AB 2, with the Schläfli symbols 3636 and 3366 for nodes A and B, is discovered. It is shown that the ZrZn22 superstructures are formed by substituting some atoms in the cluster precursors. Computer analysis of the CRYSTMET and ICSD databases shows that the cluster AB 2 X 37 occurs in 111 intermetallics belonging to 28 structure types.

This work reports a discussion about of the general theory for phase transformations of Melh-Johnson-Avrami-Kolmogorov in process involving non-isothermal crystallization. This model allows determine as occurs the mechanism of the nucleus formation and of growth of crystalline phases during the crystallization process. To demonstrate the validity this theory, the Avrami exponent (n) of the LiO2-TeO2-WO3 vitreous system was determined from DSC non-isothermal measurements. The obtained results indicate that the nucleation process is volumetric with two-dimensional or three-dimensional crystal growth. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.30609/JETI.2018-2.5566


Procedures are outlined for generation of crystal structures of primary amide molecules by constructing the possible ways in which the molecules may pack. For each given one- or two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded array, ensembles of three-dimensional crystal structures are generated by considering the possible ways in which the arrays may be juxtaposed. Observed and generated hypothetical molecular arrangements are analysed to highlight both favourable and unfavourable features, par­ticularly in terms of close packing principles, the size and shape of the molecule, van der Waals and Coulomb interactions and N-H ∙ ∙ ∙ O bonding geometry.

The structures of cocrystals of 2,6-dichlorophenol with 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine, C6H4Cl2O·C4H7N5, (III), and 2,6-dichloroaniline with 2,6-diaminopyrimidin-4(3H)-one andN,N-dimethylacetamide, C6H5Cl2N·C4H6N4O·C4H9NO, (V), plus three new pseudopolymorphs of their coformers, namely 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine–N,N-dimethylacetamide (1/1), C4H7N5·C4H9NO, (I), 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine–N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one (1/1), C4H7N5·C5H9NO, (II), and 6-aminoisocytosine–N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one (1/1), C4H6N4O·C5H9NO, (IV), are reported. Both 2,6-dichlorophenol and 2,6-dichloroaniline are capable of forming definite synthon motifs, which usually lead to either two- or three-dimensional crystal-packing arrangements. Thus, the two isomorphous pseudopolymorphs of 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine,i.e.(I) and (II), form a three-dimensional network, while theN-methylpyrrolidin-2-one solvate of 6-aminoisocytosine,i.e.(IV), displays two-dimensional layers. On the basis of these results, attempts to cocrystallize 2,6-dichlorophenol with 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine, (III), and 2,6-dichloroaniline with 6-aminoisocytosine, (V), yielded two-dimensional networks, whereby in cocrystal (III) the overall structure is a consequence of the interaction between the two compounds. By comparison, cocrystal–solvate (V) is mainly built by 6-aminoisocytosine forming layers, with 2,6-dichloroaniline and the solvent molecules arranged between the layers.
