Pyridinium chlorochromate, [C5H5NH]+[ClCrO3]− (hereafter referred to as PyClCrO3), was studied by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dielectric methods. Studies reveal three reversible phase transitions at 346, 316 and 170 K with the following phase sequence: R\bar 3m (I) → R3m (II) → Cm (III) → Cc (IV), c′ = 2c. PyClCrO3 is the first pyridinium salt in which all four phases have been successfully characterized by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. Structural results together with dielectric and calorimetric studies allow the classification of the two intermediate phases (II) and (III) as ferroelectric with the Curie point at 346 K, and the lowest phase (IV) as most probably ferroelectric. The ferroelectric hysteresis loop was observed only in phase (III). The high ionic conductivity hindered its observation in phase (II).

Abstract The crystal structures of (CH3)3NHClO4 in three solid phases were studied by X-ray diffraction techniques. X-ray powder patterns taken at ca. 500 and 445 K revealed that the plastic phase (Phase I) attainable above 480 K crystallizes in a CsCl-type cubic structure with a = 5.845 (1) Å, Z = 1, V = 199.7 (2) Å3, and Dx = 1.327 g cm -3, while Phase II, stable between 480 and 396 K, forms a tetragonal structure with a = 9.912 (4), c = 7.01 (2) Å, Z = 4, V = 689 (3) Å3, and Dx = 1.54 gem -3. The room temperature phase (Phase III) was studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction and found to form a monoclinic lattice with space group P21 , a = 5.749(1), b = 8.670(1), c = 7.5585 (9) Å, ß = 102.66 (1)°, Z = 2, V = 367.6 (2) Å3 , and Dx= 1.441 g cm -3. Thermal measurements, differential thermal analysis and differential scanning calorimetry, were carried out on these solid phases, and the obtained results were compared with those observed for (CH3)3NHBF4.

Ammonium oxopentafluoroniobate, (NH4)2NbOF5, was synthesized in a single-crystal form and the structures of its different phases were determined by X-ray diffraction at three temperatures: phase (I) at 297 K, phase (II) at 233 K and phase (III) at 198 K. The distorted [NbOF5]2− octahedra are of similar geometry in all three structures, with the central atom shifted towards the O atom. The structure of (I) is disordered, with three spatial orientations of the [NbOF5]2− octahedron related by a jump rotation around the pseudo-threefold local axis such that the disorder observed is of a dynamic nature. As the temperature decreases, the compound undergoes two phase transitions. The first is accompanied by full anionic ordering and partial ordering of the ammonium groups (phase II). The structure of (III) is completely ordered. The F and O atoms in the structures investigated were identified via the Nb—X (X = O and F) distances. The crystals of all three phases are twinned.

An in situ high-pressure X-ray diffraction study was performed on Ag2S nanosheets, with an average lateral size of 29 nm and a relatively thin thickness. Based on the experimental data, we demonstrated that under high pressure, the samples experienced two different high-pressure structural phase transitions up to 29.4 GPa: from monoclinic P21/n structure (phase I, α-Ag2S) to orthorhombic P212121 structure (phase II) at 8.9 GPa and then to monoclinic P21/n structure (phase III) at 12.4 GPa. The critical phase transition pressures for phase II and phase III are approximately 2–3 GPa higher than that of 30 nm Ag2S nanoparticles and bulk materials. Additionally, phase III was stable up to the highest pressure of 29.4 GPa. Bulk moduli of Ag2S nanosheets were obtained as 73(6) GPa for phase I and 141(4) GPa for phase III, which indicate that the samples are more difficult to compress than their bulk counterparts and some other reported Ag2S nanoparticles. Further analysis suggested that the nanosize effect arising from the smaller thickness of Ag2S nanosheets restricts the relative position slip of the interlayer atoms during the compression, which leads to the enhancing of phase stabilities and the elevating of bulk moduli.

AbstractThe structural differences of phase I (at 193 K) and phase III (293 K) of bis(guanidinium)zirconium bis(nitrilotriacetate) hydrate were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction. The phase transition III → I is characterised by a loss of translational symmetry as it is indicated by the change of space group symmetry from
