AbstractNTO is an explosive of current interest. It has been evaluated as an insensitive component to replace RDX in the bomb fill, and as a major ingredient for the auto air bag system. The crystal structure of the β from of NTO has been determined by single-crystal X-ray methods. The unit cell is monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 9.326, b = 5.515, c = 9.107 Å, β = 100.77°. There are four molecules in the cell, density 1.878 g/cm3. Infinite extension of H-bonding in two-dimensional sheets occurs in the monoclinic form. Bond lengths and angles all have normal values.Efforts have been made to determine the crystal structure of α-NTO. However, a structure refined only to R = 17% was obtained, probably due to some kind of twinning about the crystal needle axis. The unit cell is triclinic, space group P1, with a = 5.12, b = 10.30, c = 17.9 Å, α = 106.7°, β= 97.7°, γ = 90.2°. There are eight molecules in the cell, density 1.92 g/cm3. Ribbons of NTO molecules formed by a relatively strong network of hydrogen bonds are observed. It was found that α-NTO is the stable, dominating form. A variety of techniques have been chosen to identify the two polymorphs.

AbstractA monoclinic form of Fe3S4, a polymorph of cubic greigite, occurs as precipitates in a sample of pyrrhotite collected from the Sudbury ore deposit. The nano-crystal precipitates are in a topotaxial relationship with the host pyrrhotite-4C (Fe7S8). The precipitate and the host pyrrhotite have a coherent (001) interface. Half of the octahedral layers in the crystal structure are fully occupied by Fe, while the other half of the octahedral layers are occupied by Fe atoms and vacancies in an ordered manner along the a axis. The crystal structure of the Fe3S4 nano-precipitates has monoclinic symmetry with a space group of I2/m. Its c dimension is 6% smaller than that of the host pyrrhotite due to the large number of vacancies in the structure. Fractional coordinates for S and Fe atoms within the unit cell are determined from Z-contrast images and density functional theory (DFT). The calculated results match the measured values very well. It is proposed that the monoclinic Fe3S4 nano-precipitates formed through ordering of vacancies in pyrrhotite with a low Fe/S ratio (i.e. <0.875) at low temperature.
