The DSC diagram of tris(allylammonium) hexachlorobismuthate(III), (C3H5NH3)3[BiCl6], revealed three anomalies at 152, 191 and 299 K. The structure of the salt was determined at 200 and 315 K, below and above the high-temperature phase transition at 299 K. In both phases the crystals are monoclinic. At 200 K the space group is C2/c whereas at 315 K it is C2/m. The structures, at both temperatures, are composed of [BiCl6]3− octahedra and allylammonium cations. The organic and inorganic moieties are attracted to each other by a network of the N-H. . .Cl hydrogen bonds. The relationship between corresponding parameters of the unit cells has been found. The phase transition at 299 K, of the order-disorder type, is attributed to the ordering of one non-equivalent allylammonium cation in the low-temperature phase.

Abstract Chlorine NQR studies of solid nitrosyl chloride NOC1 between 110 and 212 K are reported. In the temperature dependence an order-disorder phase transition near 145 K, found by X-ray diffraction, is confirmed. Unusual hysteretic NQR signal behaviour indirectly proves also the low temperature phase transition below 100 K. In the measured temperature region fast relaxing mechanisms are present. The upper limit of the expected 14N NQR frequency is estimated using the Townes-Dailey approach.

Synthetic chalcomenite-type cupric selenite CuSeO3∙2H2O has been studied at room temperature under compression up to pressures of 8 GPa by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and density-functional theory. According to X-ray diffraction, the orthorhombic phase undergoes an isostructural phase transition at 4.0(5) GPa with the thermodynamic character being first-order. This conclusion is supported by Raman spectroscopy studies that have detected the phase transition at 4.5(2) GPa and by the first-principles computing simulations. The structure solution at different pressures has provided information on the change with pressure of unit–cell parameters as well as on the bond and polyhedral compressibility. A Birch–Murnaghan equation of state has been fitted to the unit–cell volume data. We found that chalcomenite is highly compressible with a bulk modulus of 42–49 GPa. The possible mechanism driving changes in the crystal structure is discussed, being the behavior of CuSeO3∙2H2O mainly dominated by the large compressibility of the coordination polyhedron of Cu. On top of that, an assignation of Raman modes is proposed based upon density-functional theory and the pressure dependence of Raman modes discussed. Finally, the pressure dependence of phonon frequencies experimentally determined is also reported.

The equation of state (EOS) of HfC and nanosized TiC at high pressure has been studied by means of synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (XRD) in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) at ambient temperature, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. XRD analysis showed that the cubic structure of HfC and nanosized TiC maintained to the maximum pressures. The XRD data yield a bulk modulus [Formula: see text] GPa with [Formula: see text] of HfC. In addition, the bulk modulus of nanosized TiC derived from XRD data is [Formula: see text] GPa with [Formula: see text].
