Periodic structural properties of the 2-bromotetradecane/urea inclusion compound have been investigated as a function of temperature. Differential scanning calorimetry between 298 and 98 K identified three well-defined regimes, denoted the high-, intermediate-, and low-temperature phases. The structural properties of each phase (at 293, 207, and 142 K, respectively) have been investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction. In the high-temperature phase, the inclusion compound has the hexagonal urea tunnel structure (P6122) characteristic of the conventional urea inclusion compounds, with substantial orientational disorder of the guest molecules. In the intermediate-temperature phase, the symmetry is lowered to orthorhombic (C2221), although the host structure remains close to the hexagonal tunnel structure of the high-temperature phase and there is no clear evidence for increased orientational ordering of the guest molecules. In the low-temperature phase, the urea tunnel structure is monoclinic (P21), and is based on a 2 × 2 × 1 supercell of the hexagonal cell of the high-temperature structure. There are four independent types of tunnel, three of which are strongly distorted from hexagonal geometry. Within these distorted tunnels, there is a comparatively narrow distribution of guest molecule orientations, which correlate well with the observed distortions of the tunnels. The 2-bromotetradecane/urea inclusion compound highlights several issues of wider relevance concerning the structural properties of solid inclusion compounds.Key words: urea inclusion compounds, X-ray diffraction, phase transitions, chiral recognition, incommensurate solid, 2-bromotetradecane/urea.

Abstract The 14N NQR from the host lattice of the thiourea-carbon tetrachloride inclusion compound. From calorimetric measurements, two phase transitions are known to occur at 67.2 K and 41.3 K in this compound. Above the 67.2 K transition, the 14N NQR spectrum consists of one resonance, though a small splitting of about 0.5 kHz is seen at temperatures up to ca. 105 K. Below the transition, the resonance appears as a central component, in continuation of the resonance above the transition, and two satellites at + 10 kHz and -8 kHz from the central line. The transition from the single resonance to a fully resolved spectrum takes place in a temperature range of less than one kelvin. The results are compared with those previously obtained with the thiourea-cyclohexane inclusion compound.
