4-Bromobenzamidrazone reacts with cyclopentanone giving 3-(4-bromophenyl)-5-(4-peroxobutyl)-1,2,4-triazole, which precipitated as pale-yellow crystals during the reaction. The intermolecular noncovalent interactions Br···Br in the single-crystal XRD structure of the peroxo compound were studied theoretically using quantum chemical calculations (ωB97XD/x2c-TZVPPall) and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis. These attractive intermolecular noncovalent interactions Br···Br is type I halogen···halogen contacts and their estimated energy is 2.2–2.5 kcal/mol. These weak interactions are suggested to be one of the driving forces (albeit surely not the main one) for crystallization of the peroxo compound during the reaction and thus its stabilization in the solid state.

The crystal structure of phurcalite, Ca2[(UO2)3O2(PO4)2]·7H2O, orthorhombic, a = 17.3785 (9) Å, b = 15.9864 (8) Å, c = 13.5477 (10) Å, V = 3763.8 (4) Å3, space group Pbca, Z = 8 has been refined from single-crystal XRD data to R = 0.042 for 3182 unique [I > 3σ(I)] reflections and the hydrogen-bonding scheme has been refined by theoretical calculations based on the TORQUE method. The phurcalite structure is layered, with uranyl phosphate sheets of the phosphuranylite topology which are linked by extensive hydrogen bonds across the interlayer occupied by Ca2+ cations and H2O groups. In contrast to previous studies the approach here reveals five transformer H2O groups (compared to three expected by a previous study) and two non-transformer H2O groups. One of the transformer H2O groups is, nevertheless, not linked to any metal cation, which is a less frequent type of H2O bonding in solid state compounds and minerals. The structural formula of phurcalite has been therefore redefined as {Ca2(H2 [3]O)5(H2 [4]O)2}[(UO2)3O2(PO4)2], Z = 8.

<p>Modification of the magnetic properties in a solid-state material upon external stimulus has attracted much attention in the recent years for their potential applications as switches and sensors. Within the field of coordination polymers, gas sorption studies typically focus on porous solids, with the gas molecules accommodating in the channels. Here we present a 1D non-porous coordination polymer capable of incorporating HCl gas molecules, which not only causes a reordering of its atoms in the solid state but also provokes dramatic changes in the magnetic behaviour. Subsequently, a further solid-gas transformation can occur with the extrusion of HCl gas molecules causing a second structural rearrangement which is also accompanied by modification in the magnetic path between the metal centres. Unequivocal evidence of the two-step magnetostructural transformation is provided by X-ray single-crystal diffraction.</p>
