Infrared spectra of polycrystalline KSnCl3•H2O were recorded between 4000 and 300 cm−1 at different degrees of deuteration and at temperatures between 30 and −160 °C. At low temperatures the spectra show a complexity indicative of the presence of several crystallographically distinct water molecules. These molecules occupy sites with nearly identical environments and at room temperature are spectroscopically indistinguishable. The environment of each of these molecules is asymmetric. Hydrogen bonds are very weak and probably highly bent. The water molecules are less separated from one another than in K2SnCl4•H2O and may share their potassium neighbors.

Available evidence suggests that (1) the stretching frequencies of highly-bent hydrogen bonds decrease with increasing temperature, regardless of whether the bonds are static or dynamic in character, to a single acceptor or to several competing acceptors; and (2) departures from symmetric trifurcation (or bifurcation) toward asymmetric situations lower the stretching frequency. In further support of these criteria isotopic probe ion spectra between 10 K and room temperature have been obtained for taurine and for trigonal (NH4)2MF6 (M = Si, Ge, Sn, Ti). Evidence of a low-temperature transition at 100(10) K in trigonal (NH4)2SnF6 is presented, and existence of the previously reported transition at 38.6 K in trigonal (NH4)2SiF6 is confirmed. Symmetry changes associated with these transitions are discussed.

The title compound bis(1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) di-μ-chlorido-bis[tetrachloridobismuthate(III)] dihydrate, (C6H14N2)2[Bi2Cl10]·2H2O, was obtained by slow evaporation at room temperature of a hydrochloric aqueous solution (pH = 1) containing bismuth(III) nitrate and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) in a 1:2 molar ratio. The structure displays a two-dimensional arrangement parallel to (100) of isolated [Bi2Cl10]4−bioctahedra (site symmetry -1) separated by layers of organic 1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane dications [(DABCOH2)2+] and water molecules. O—H...Cl, N—H...O and N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds lead to additional cohesion of the structure.

A b s t r a c t: The Fourier transform (FT) infrared spectra of thiosaccharinates of cadmium and lead in the 4000–400 cm–1 region were studied. Although the observed resemblance between the spectra recorded in KBr pellets suggests a possible similarity between their structures as well, the powder X-ray diagrams show that these two compounds are not isomorphous. The presence of broad and intense bands in the region of the HOH stretchings shows that thiosaccharinate of cadmium is a crystalline hydrate and the spectral picture in the region of the O-D stretchings of the isotopically isolated HOD molecules in the partially deuterated analogue indicates that present in its structure are at least two types of crystallographically different water molecules involved in the formation of weak hydrogen bonds. The room temperature (RT) spectrum of lead thiosaccharinate in the region of the ν(HOH) modes differs significantly from the spectrum recorded at the boiling temperature of liquid nitrogen (LNT), which may perhaps be interpreted as an indication that a phase transition is taking place on lowering the temperature. The spectrum of lead thiosaccharinate was recorded in a Nujol mull as well. While the KBr and Nujol spectra are essentially identical in the region below 1600 cm–1, no bands are observed in the HOH stretching region of the mull spectra. In fact, it was shown that the appearance of the spectra of lead thiosaccharinates depends on the emulsion preparation rate. A comparison of the spectral characteristics of the thiosaccharinates of cadmium and lead with those of the corresponding saccharinates (their crystal structures are known) was made, special attention being paid to the analysis of the SO2 stretching region in the saccharinate and thiosaccharinate compounds.

The IR-spectrum of gypsum (CaSO4·2 H2O) in the frequency range from 10 000 to 1200 cm-1 has been investigated with polarized light at room temperature. Between 3700 and 1200 cm-1, the measurements confirm the data of HASS and SUTHERLAND and as well as those of SCHAAK derived from IR and reflection measurements. The IR-spectrum shows a great number of bands, most of which can be assigned to combination and fundamental vibrations in terms of normal vibrations of the water molecules and the sulfate ions. The influence of the lattice vibrations is briefly discussed. The existence of hydrogen bonds between the water molecules and the sulfate ions gives rise to combinations of fundamental vibrations of both complexes.

Using neodymium ring magnets (0.5–0.65 T), the experiments on the magnetic field (MF) effects on water evaporation rate and surface tension were performed at room temperature (22–24 °C). In accordance with the literature data, the enhanced evaporation rates were observed in the experiments conducted in a period of several days or weeks. However, the evaporated amounts of water (up to 440 mg over 150 min) in particular experiments differed. The evaporated amounts depended partially on which pole of the ring magnet was directed up. The relatively strong MF (0.65 T) caused a slight decrease in surface tension (−2.11 mN/m) which lasted longer than 60 min and the memory effect vanished slowly. The surface tension data reduced by the MF action are reported in the literature, although contrary results can be also found. The observed effects can be explained based on literature data of molecular simulations and the suggestion that MF affects the hydrogen bonds of intra- and inter-clusters of water molecules, possibly even causing breakage some of them. The Lorentz force influence is also considered. These mechanisms are discussed in the paper.

Infrared spectra of polycrystalline Na2[Fe(CN)5NO] 2H2O at different degrees of deuteration were studied as a function of temperature. The single peaks observed for the bending fundamentals of isotopically dilute H2O and D2O show that all the water molecules are equivalent, as required by Manoharan and Hamilton's structure determination; the doublets observed for the three fundamentals of isotopically dilute HDO show that the water molecules are asymmetric. Doublet separation decreases gradually with increasing temperature, indicating decreasing asymmetry. The water molecule appears to orient itself so as to maximize the strength of one [Formula: see text] bond, while the other OH group interacts only very weakly with another CN group. The hitherto unknown extent to which the nitroprusside ion deviates from the ideal C4v symmetry has been estimated from the 13C14N stretching spectrum. The 15N16O and 14N18O stretching spectrum was used to confirm that only one type of NO group is present in the crystal, and hence that all nitroprusside ions are equivalent.

β-cyclodextrin, like other carbohydrates has a tendency to adsorb water molecules and the properties are attributed to the hydroxyl groups in the molecules. β-cyclodextrin, the cyclic oligomer of glucose has a hydrophobic interior and hydrophilic exterior. The cyclic structure favours the formation of hydrogen bonds between the OH groups on the adjacent glucose units and affects the formation of hydrogen bonds with water molecules. The hydoxyl groups engaged in hydrogen bondings can be eliminated at high temperatures and the adsorption properties of the dehydrated β-cyclodextrin will depend on the new functional groups formed. The aim of the report is to discuss the issue of the water adsorption properties of free and dehydrated β-cyclodextrin. Dry β-cyclodextrin and dehydrated β-cyclodextrin at temperatures 250, 300 and 350 °C were allowed to adsorb water from a humidity controlled air environmennt and the evolving near infrared spectra were measured using a near infrared spectrometer equipped with a transflectance accessory. The near infrared spectra in the region 10,000-4000 cm-1 and their second and fourth derivative profiles were used in studying the variation in the adsorption characteristics of dehydrated β-cyclodextrin. The results of the analyses show that the adsorption of water by β-cyclodextrin decreses at 300 °C compared to 200 and 250 °C. Dehydration forms more of the ethereal type-O-bonds in the molecule and explains the decrease in the water molecular adsorption at higher dehydration temperatures.

The electronic properties of bis(2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine)iron(II) triflate depend markedly on the extent of hydration. The trihydrate is low spin while the monohydrate is high spin at room temperature but undergoes a discontinuous transition to low spin at low temperatures. In the anhydrous complex magnetic and Mössbauer spectral data indicate that there is a minor fraction of low-spin species at room temperature and this fraction increases at low temperatures. The spin transition in the anhydrous salt is continuous and incomplete at 80 K. The structure of the trihydrate reveals an extensive hydrogen-bonding network which involves the uncoordinated >NH groups of the pyrazolyl groups in the ligands, the water molecules and the anions. The disruption of this network on loss of water is believed to be responsible for the change in electronic properties. Bis(2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine)iron(II) triflate trihydrate: triclinic, space group P-1, a 11·490(5), b 12·218(6), c 13·666(6) Å, α 104 ·67(2), β 104·58(2), γ 104·35(2)°, Z 2.

Infrared spectra of undeuterated and partially deuterated NaclO4•H2O, LiClO4•3H2O, and Ba(ClO4)2•3H2O were examined. Crystallographic data point to a weak hydrogen bond between water molecules and the perchlorate ions in LiClO•3H2O. This is confirmed by the high HDO stretching frequencies for this compound. The nearly identical HDO stretching frequencies in LiClO4•3H2O, NaClO4•H2O, Ba(ClO4)2•3H2O, and in aqueous solutions of these salts show that similar weak hydrogen bonds occur in all three hydrates and in solution. The hydrogen bond energy is of the order of 2 kcal/mole. In all three compounds the water molecules are symmetric at room temperature. At −165° the water molecules become highly distorted in the sodium compound, slightly distorted in the barium compound, and remain undistorted in the lithium compound. Very narrow OD stretching bands are observed, showing that the hydrogen atom positions are ordered in all three hydrates.

The crystal structure of the mineral kröhnkite, Na2Cu(SO4)2(H2O)2, contains infinite chains composed of [CuO4(OH2)2] octahedra corner-linked with SO4 tetrahedra. Such or similar tetrahedral–octahedral `kröhnkite-type' chains are present in the crystal structures of numerous compounds with the composition AnM(XO4)2(H2O)2. The title compounds, (NH4)Mg(HSO4)(SO4)(H2O)2, ammonium magnesium hydrogen sulfate sulfate dihydrate, and NaSc(CrO4)2(H2O)2, sodium scandium bis(chromate) dihydrate, are members of the large family with such kröhnkite-type chains. At 100 K, (NH4)Mg(HSO4)(SO4)(H2O)2 has an unprecedented triclinic crystal structure and contains [MgO4(OH2)2] octahedra linked by SO3(OH) and SO4 tetrahedra into chains extending parallel to [\overline{1}10]. Adjacent chains are linked by very strong hydrogen bonds between SO3(OH) and SO4 tetrahedra into layers parallel to (111). Ammonium cations and water molecules connect adjacent layers through hydrogen-bonding interactions of medium-to-weak strength into a three-dimensional network. (NH4)Mg(HSO4)(SO4)(H2O)2 shows a reversible phase transition and crystallizes at room temperature in structure type E in the classification scheme for structures with kröhnkite-type chains, with half of the unit-cell volume for the resulting triclinic cell, and with disordered H atoms of the ammonium tetrahedron and the H atom between two symmetry-related sulfate groups. IR spectroscopic room-temperature data for the latter phase are provided. Monoclinic NaSc(CrO4)2(H2O)2 adopts structure type F1 in the classification scheme for structures with kröhnkite-type chains. Here, [ScO4(OH2)2] octahedra (point group symmetry \overline{1}) are linked by CrO4 tetrahedra into chains parallel to [010]. The Na+ cations (site symmetry 2) have a [6 + 2] coordination and connect adjacent chains into a three-dimensional framework that is consolidated by medium–strong hydrogen bonds involving the water molecules. Quantitative structural comparisons are made between NaSc(CrO4)2(H2O)2 and its isotypic NaM(CrO4)2(H2O)2 (M = Al and Fe) analogues.
