The infrared spectra of solid crystalline films of ammonium nitrate were measured at temperatures ranging between the melting point (169 °C) and liquid air temperature (−190 °C). Four different spectra were obtained which are shown to belong to phase I, II, IV, and (very probably) VII. Phases III and V were not encountered; only transitions [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] were observed. A spectrum measured at −190 °C after rapid cooling is shown to correspond to a mixture of phases IV and VII. The symmetry properties of the different phases are discussed in relation with their infrared spectra.

Raman and infrared spectra of polycrystalline HI and DI in the region of lattice and internal modes for all three phases have been recorded over the temperature range 18 K to the melting point. The temperature dependent Raman and infrared results are consistent with the X-ray and neutron work that two phase transitions occur at HI and DI involving reorientation of the HI and DI molecules as a whole.

The infrared spectra were registered for series of three-ring liquid crystalline esters, differing in the structure of alkyl chain, in the substitution of benzene ring by fluorine atoms and in the type of helicoidal structure in the chiral smectic CA phase with antiferroelectric properties. The influence of molecular structure on the shift of signals coming from carbonyl group, located in the rigid core, was observed. Keywords: liquid crystals, helicoidal structure, chiral smectic CA phase, antiferroelectric crystalline phase, infrared spectroscopy

Phase transitions and molecular motions in solid acrylonitrile and its deuterated homologue CH2=CDCN, have been studied between 100 and 191 °K (m.p.) by wide line n.m.r. and by T1 relaxation time measurements. Phase I (164 °K < T < 191 °K) is trapped and becomes metastable by quick cooling of acrylonitrile at 77 °K. It changes into the phase II, stable between 113 °K and 164 °K by a long duration annealing at 155–160 °K. The phase II → phase III transition occurs at 113 °K. It may be assumed that phase III, stable below this temperature, is rigid at T < 105 °K. Phase II may be characterized by a rotational oscillation of molecules around an axis defined by the N atom and the middle of the vinyl double bond. In phase I, acrylonitrile molecules undergo a binary reorientation motion around this axis with an activation energy of 4.2 kcal mol−1. The motion of peroxy radicals, trapped in acrylonitrile has been also studied by e.s.r. These radicals were produced by oxygen addition to free radicals previously formed by γ irradiation of acrylonitrile at 77 °K. The g anisotropy variation with temperature, shows no discontinuities at phase transitions, the activation of reorientation of peroxy radicals being 0.65 kcal mol−1. This result suggests that we are dealing in fact with macroradicals, the internal rotation of which is only observable in a solid matrix.

Five solid phases of [Co(DMSO)6](BF4)2 have been detected by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Phase transitions were detected between the following solid phases: stable KIb↔ stable KIa at T̅C4 = (328±2) K, metastable KIII ↔ undercooled phase K0 at T̅C3 = (383±4) K, metastable KII ↔ undercooled K0 at T̅C2 = (399±2) K and stable KIa ↔ stable K0 at T̅C1 = (404±1) K. The title compound melts at Tm = 440 K. From the entropy changes at the melting point and at phase transitions it can be concluded that the phases K0 and undercooled K0 are orientationally dynamically disordered crystals. The stable phases KIa, KIb are ordered solid phases. The metastable phases KII and KIII are probably solid phases with a high degree of orientational dynamical disorder

Detailed measurements of the changes in the infrared spectra of n-nonadceanc and n-heneicosane on transition from the orthorhombic to the so-called "hexagonal" or "rotator" phase are reported.
