A classical elpasolite-type structure is considered with respect to dynamically disordered ammonium fluoro-(oxofluoro-)metallates. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data from high quality (NH4)3HfF7 and (NH4)3Ti(O2)F5 samples enabled the refinement of the ligand and cationic positions in the cubic Fm \bar 3 m (Z = 4) structure. Electron-density atomic profiles show that the ligand atoms are distributed in a mixed (split) position instead of 24e. One of the ammonium groups is disordered near 8c so that its central atom (N1) forms a tetrahedron with vertexes in 32f. However, a center of another group (N2) remains in the 4b site, whereas its H atoms (H2) occupy the 96k positions instead of 24e and, together with the H3 atom in the 32f position, they form eight spatial orientations of the ammonium group. It is a common feature of all ammonium fluoroelpasolites with orientational disorder of structural units of a dynamic nature.

The structure of C60 thin films grown on Cd (0001) surface has been investigated from submonolayer to second monolayer regimes with a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). There are different C60 domains with various misorientation angles relative to the lattice directions of Cd (0001). In the (2√3 × 2√3) R30° domain, orientational disorder of the individual C60 molecules with either pentagon, hexagon, or 6:6 bond facing up has been observed. However, orientation ordering appeared in the R26° domain such that all the C60 molecules adopt the same orientation with the 6:6 bond facing up. In particular, complex chiral motifs composed of seven C60 molecules with clockwise or anticlockwise handedness have been observed in the R4° and R8° domains, respectively. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) measurements reveal a reduced HOMO–LOMO gap of 2.1 eV for the C60 molecules adsorbed on Cd (0001) due to the substrate screening and charge transfer from Cd to C60 molecules.

In an effort to advance our understanding of the principles governing the structures of and the hydrogen bonding in alkylammonium hexachlorostannates(IV), (RnNH4−n)2SnCl6, we have determined the room-temperature crystal structures of (Me2NH2)2SnCl6 and (Me3NH)2SnCl6 (variants of the antifluorite structure); (EtNH3)2SnCl6 and (n-PrNH3)2SnCl6 (anti-Cdl2 type, with orientational disorder in the Et compound); and (n-Pr3NH)2SnCl6. We have also studied the infrared spectra in the regions of the NH and ND stretching fundamentals, between 10 and 293 K, of these five compounds and of (MeNH3)2SnCl6, (Me3NH)2SnBr6, (Et2NH2)2SnCl6, (n-Bu3NH)2SnCl6 and, in less detail, the mixed-anion salt (n-Pr2NH2)3(SnCl6)Cl. The spectra are often complicated by Ferim resonance involving absorptions diagnostically critical for the strength and type of [Formula: see text] bonding and for the site symmetry at the N atom. In this respect they are less useful than the corresponding spectra of the unsubstituted ammonium compounds reported previously. Several of the spectra provide striking examples of temperature-tuned Fermi resonance of NH and ND vibrations. The [Formula: see text] bonds are invariably trifurcated, bifurcated, or at least highly bent; these characteristics give rise to anomalous temperature dependence of the frequencies of the NH and ND stretching fundamentals. Temperature-induced transitions were detected in (Me2NH2)2SnCl6 (Ttr ~ 100 K), Et NH3)2SnCl6 (Ttr ~ 125 K), and (Et2NH2)2SnCl6 (Ttr ~ 330 K). The specific results for the ten compounds studied arc discussed in detail. The discussion also includes the limits of usefulness of the isotopisc dilution technique; symmetry aspects of the cation–anion packing in alkylammonium hexahalometallates(IV); symmetries of the arrangements of the SnCl6 octahedra; the geometry of hydrogen bonding in (RnNH4−n)2SnCl6; and the possibility of detection of the presence of hydrogen bonding from molecular volume trends.
