Cryoinjuries are almost inevitable during the freezing of embryos. The present study examines the possibility of using high hydrostatic pressure to reduce substantially the freezing point of the embryo-holding solution, in order to preserve embryos at subzero temperatures, thus avoiding all the disadvantages of freezing. The pressure of 210 MPa lowers the phase transition temperature of water to -21°C. According to the results of this study, embryos can survive in high hydrostatic pressure environment at room temperature; the time embryos spend under pressure without significant loss in their survival could be lengthened by gradual decompression. Pressurisation at 0°C significantly reduced the survival capacity of the embryos; gradual decompression had no beneficial effect on survival at that stage. Based on the findings, the use of the phenomena is not applicable in this form, since pressure and low temperature together proved to be lethal to the embryos in these experiments. The application of hydrostatic pressure in embryo cryopreservation requires more detailed research, although the experience gained in this study can be applied usefully in different circumstances.

The coordination complex [Ni(en)3]2+(NO{}_{3}^{- })2(en = 1,2-diaminoethane) undergoes a sharp reversible displacive phase transition at ∼109 K, changing space group fromP6322 above the transition temperature toP6522 below. The phase change is accompanied by a tripling of thecaxis on cooling, resulting in an easy detection of the transition in images from area-detector diffractometers. The transition has been followed using a Nonius KappaCCD and a Bruker SMART APEX CCD. Data sets were collected over the temperature range 100–113 K and integrated using the low-temperature orientation matrix. Reflections withl≠ 3nshow a smooth and rapid decrease in intensity to zero on warming from 106.5 to 111 K. The results are reproducible to within ±2 K in two laboratories and suggest that this compound may be useful as a liquid-nitrogen cryo-calibrant for diffraction instruments equipped with area detectors.

Abstract 57 Fe Mössbauer spectra have been measured at various temperatures between 4.2 K and 300 K for iron langbeinites A 2 Fe 2^04)3 with A = K, NH 4 , Rb, T1 and magnesium, manganese and cadmium lang-beinites doped with Fe" + . The spectra revealed several contributions whose isomer shifts and quadru-pole splittings have been obtained by fitting program routines. For the high-temperature cubic phases two crystallographically non-equivalent iron sites have been identified, characteristic of Fe2+ in the high-spin state. Abrupt changes of the quadrupole couplings indicated phase transitions; in some cases, the spectra have also revealed several sites for Fe2+ in low temperature phases. From the temperature dependences, phase transition temperatures, crystal field splittings and Debye temperatures have been derived.
