Structural parameters and their thermal changes in natural magnetite, Fe3O4, have been studied using the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method in the temperature range 126–773 K. The cell dimensions, oxygen coordinate and atomic mean square displacements (m.s.d.'s) reversibly change as a function of temperature. The coordinate of oxygen remains almost constant at x = 0.2549 (1) below ~600 K, but increases with increasing temperature above this temperature. This characteristic behavior of the oxygen coordinate with temperature indicates that the cation disordering over the tetrahedral (A) and octahedral (B) cation sites occurs above 600 K. All atomic m.s.d.'s increase monotonously with temperature rise. The m.s.d.'s of the B atom show a unique temperature dependence. At lower temperatures the B atom prefers to vibrate along [111], but this preference is reduced with a temperature rise up to 630 K, above which the m.s.d. normal to [111] becomes dominant.

The V4+ (spin ½) oxovanadates AV3O7 (A = Ca, Sr) were synthesized and studied by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The room-temperature structures of both compounds are orthorhombic and their respective space groups are Pnma and Pmmn. The previously assumed structure of SrV3O7 has been revised and the temperature dependence of both crystal structures in the temperature ranges 297–100 K and 315–100 K, respectively, is discussed for the first time.

2,6-Di(thiazol-4-yl)pyridine (1a), 2,6-di(2-methylthiazol-4-yl)pyridine (1b) and 2,6-di(2-phenylthiazol-4-yl)pyridine (1c) have been prepared by Hantzsch syntheses from 2,6-di(ω- bromoacetyl )pyridine and the appropriate thioamide. Bis ( ligand ) iron(II) and nickel(II) complexes of (1a) and (1b) have been prepared but no metal complexes of (1c) were isolated. The bis ( ligand ) iron(II) complexes of (1a) are low-spin whereas those of (1b) undergo thermally induced spin-transitions, both in the solid state and solution. The field strengths of the ligands , determined from the spectra of their nickel(II) complexes, correlate well with the observed magnetic behaviour of their iron(II) complexes. The structure of [FeL2][ClO4]2.H2O, L = (1a), was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry . The complex cation has the meridional configuration with the ligand functioning as an approximately planar tridentate. The structural parameters relating to the Fe-N6 coordination sphere are remarkably similar to those found for bis (2,2′:6′, 2′- terpyridine )iron(II) bis ( perchlorate ) monohydrate.

Temperature dependence of local structure of the CuO 2 plane has been studied by in plane polarized (E//ab) Cu K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) experiments on an under-doped single crystal of superconducting La1.87Sr0.13CuO 4-y system with T c =32  K . The temperature dependence of the Debye–Waller factors for the Cu-O and Cu-La/Sr pairs are determined. We find that the motion of Cu and O atoms in the Cu-O bond is partially correlated at higher temperatures, going over to an uncorrelated motion at lower temperatures. The results are discussed in terms of the local lattice instabilities and stripes as reported in other systems.

Abstract The scheelitetype structure of potassium perio­date, KIO4, has been confirmed and refined from single-crystal X-ray data at two temperatures. The compound crystallizes tetragonally, space group I41/a, with a = 5.726(1), c = 12.607(4) Å at 297(1) K, and a = 5.704(3), c = 12.478(8) Å at 150(1) K, respectively. Except for a significant decrease in the anisotropic displacement factors, the changes in the structural parameters at low temperature are rather small.

Endohedral lithium fullerene Li+@C60 can have a dielectric polarization by the off-centered location of the Li+ cation inside the C60 cage. The x-ray structure analysis of the PF6– salt [Li@C60](PF6) revealed that the Li+ cation occupies two off-centered equivalent positions at 20 K and hence the crystal is non-polar [1]. The disordered structure at low temperature is explained by a static orientation disorder of polar Li+@C60 cations and/or a dynamic tunneling of the Li+ cation inside the C60 cage. The Li+ tunneling would be suppressed by an intermolecular interaction at lower temperature and a dielectric phase transition might be induced. We reveal the dielectric property and crystal structure of [Li@C60](PF6) below 20 K in this study. The temperature dependence of the dielectric permittivity was measured for the single crystal down to 9 K. The dielectric permittivity increases with decreasing temperature according to the Curie-Weiss law. Such a behavior was also observed in H2O@C60 crystal but not in empty C60 crystal [2]. No dielectric phase transition was observed in H2O@C60 down to 8 K. In contrast, a dielectric anomaly suggesting a phase transition was observed in [Li@C60](PF6) around 18 K. The single-crystal x-ray diffraction experiment below 20 K was also performed at SPring-8 BL02B1. The crystal has a cubic structure at 20 K [1]. The temperature dependence of the cubic lattice constant shows no anomaly around 18 K. However, diffraction peaks that are forbidden for the given structure appear below 18 K. Thus the crystal symmetry is lowered by the dielectric phase transition. We present the result of the crystal structure analysis of the newly discovered low-temperature phase.

Single crystals of lithium zinc titanate (Li2ZnTi3O8) were grown in a double-mirror type optical floating-zone furnace for the first time. Single crystals were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and Laue measurements. The ionic conductivity of the single crystals was measured in the temperature range of 400–700 K. Below 600 K, the ionic conductivity of the single crystal is one to two orders of magnitude higher than that of polycrystalline Li2ZnTi3O8. In the temperature range of 550–600 K, the temperature dependence of the ionic conductivity shows non-Arrhenius behaviour.
