Switching from positive to negative axial thermal expansion was observed in two organic crystalline compounds with similar crystal packing. This unusual phenomenon has been explained by the packing arrangement of molecules in the crystal structure and transverse thermal vibrations of atoms.

The crystal structure of the title compound, {[Cu(C19H17N4O2)]ClO4·C2H3N} n , is reported and compared to similar structures in the literature. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21. The unit cell contains one complex molecule in addition to perchlorate as the counter-ion and solvent (acetonitrile). The crystal packing evinces extended chains whereby the carboxylate moiety on the 6-carboxylato-2-(pyridylmethyl)bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine ligand bridges between two different copper centers in adjacent molecules. This packing arrangement for the title compound appears to be unique when compared to allied structures in the literature. The perchlorate anion showed signs of disorder and its oxygen atoms were modelled over two sets of partially occupied sites, the occupancy of which was competitively refined to 0.564 (12)/0.436 (12). The crystal studied was refined as a two-component inversion twin.

The crystal structure of the title compound is discussed with focus on its unusual crystal packing mode. The γ-cyclodextrin molecules stack in columns which have internal channels and additional large channels are formed between the columns. Both types of channels are so wide that more or less free diffusion of water and small guest molecules is possible, preventing characterization of the solvent and guest arrangements. Although the space group P4212 (no. 90) and the unit-cell content Z′ = 3\over 4 are extremely rare in general, this is the favorite crystal packing arrangement of γ-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes. This space group has not been observed as yet for other purely organic compounds.

A novel Zn complex [Zn (C12H8N2)(C4H4O5)(H2O)](H2O) has been synthesized from a hydrothermal reaction and the crystal structure has been determined by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The Zn atom is six-coordinated by two phenanthroline N atoms, three O atoms from malic acid anion and one O atom from water. The crystal packing is stabilized by O-H...O hydrogen bonding interactions.

The title compound, C14H11BrO, was synthesized by the reaction of 4-methylbenzophenone and bromine in carbon tetrachloride. X-ray crystal structure analysis reveals that the benzene and phenyl rings form a dihedral angle of 59.53 (6)°, and the crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular C—H...π interactions.
