The present study deals with single-crystal structure investigations by means of X-ray scattering of a pressure-induced phase transition of Mg0.4Al2.4O4. The compressibility of the substance is very small, whereas the structural changes are surprisingly high. A non-identified high-pressure phase turns out to be reversible considering the existence of a spinel single crystal, but not reversible with regard to the ordering of the cations in the oxygen framework. The pressure-induced disordering of the cations is preserved on abrupt pressure decrease and can be detected in a recovered specimen.

[DMHy]Mn(HCOO)3 (DMHy+ = dimethylhydrazinium cation) is an example of an organic–inorganic hybrid adopting perovskite-like architecture with the largest organic cation used so far in the synthesis of formate-based hybrids. This compound undergoes an unusual isosymmetric phase transition at 240 K on heating. The mechanism of this phase transition has a complex nature and is mainly driven by the ordering of DMHy+ cations and accompanied by a significant distortion of the metal–formate framework in the low temperature (LT) phase. In this work, the Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and factor group analysis are combined with experimental temperature-dependent IR and Raman studies to unequivocally assign the observed vibrational modes and shed light on the details of the occurring structural changes. The spectroscopic data show that this first-order phase transition has a highly dynamic nature, which is a result of balanced interplay combining re-arrangement of the hydrogen bonds and ordering of DMHy+ cations. The tight confinement of organic cations forces simultaneous steric deformation of formate ions and the MnO6 octahedra.

ABSTRACTNear the temperature of 260 K, C60 crystal is known to undergo a first order phase transition, associated with changes in molecular rotations. The present paper reports the effect of the crystalline structure and impurity content of C60 thin films on their structural behavior near this phase transition. Polycrystalline C60 films with different grain sizes and oxygen content were obtained by varying the conditions of their vacuum deposition and post-grown exposure. Temperature-resolved X-ray diffraction in the range 300 – 15 K was used to determine the lattice parameter and its changes near the phase transition temperature. Decrease in grain sizes and increase in oxygen content of the films are found to lead to a gradual reduction in the discontinuity in lattice parameter and the transition temperature.
