Samples of general formula 4AgI-(1-)-2CuI, , have been prepared and investigated by XRD, DSC, and temperature-dependent conductivity studies. X-ray diffractograms showed the presence of binary system consisting of AgI and in the sample . Cu-substituted samples showed very similar diffractograms to that of the pure compound which indicates that no effect for the substitution on the nature of the binary system. DSC curves showed the presence of phase transition whose temperature increased with ratio in the system. Ionic conductivity measurements confirmed the occurrence of the phase transition and showed that the high temperature phase is superionic conducting, whose conductivity increases with the increasing amount in the system.

A phase transition has been observed in bis(pyridinium) hexachlorometallates (C5H5NH)2[MIVCl6]. M = Sn. Te. Pb. Pt. The crystal structure of the low temperature phase II of the salt with M = Sn was determined, space group C 1ḷ- P 1̅, Z = 1 (a = 734.1pm, b = 799.0 pm, c = 799.7 pm,α= 83.229°. β = 65.377°, γ= 84.387°, T = 297 K). The four compounds are isotypic in phase II as well as in the high temperature phase I (C2H2-B2 /m, Z = 2) for which the crystal structure is known for M = Te . The lattice constants of all compounds (both phases) are given. The temperature dependence of the 35Cl NQR spectrum was investigated. The three line 35Cl NQR spectrum is in agreement with the crystal structure. The dynamics of the pyridinium ring shows up in a fade out of part of the 35Cl NQR spectrum . The influence o f H ↔ D exchange on 35Cl NQR is studied and an assignment of ν (35Cl) ↔ Cl(i) is proposed. The nature of the phase transition P1̅ (Z = 1) ↔ B2 /m (Z = 2) is discussed.

The order-disorder phase transition in solid phenanthrene was studied with differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray powder diffraction. This fully reversible transformation can be influenced by doping phenanthrene with structurally similar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or heterocyclic aromatics. So far, four dopants have been used: benzo[c]cinnoline, phenanthridine, anthracene and carbazole. It was found that the transformation is not influenced by dopants that form eutectic phase diagrams with phenanthrene (benzo[c]cinnoline, phenanthridine). However, if the dopant is incorporated into the phenanthrene lattice to form a mixed crystal, the transition is inhibited above 3.7 mol% anthracene and 6.1 mol% carbazole, respectively. By X-ray diffraction, it is shown that these dopants induce the formation of the high-temperature phase already at room temperature.

A high-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of a synthetic PbTiO3perovskite was carried out over the wide temperature range 298–928 K. A transition from a tetragonal (P4mm) to a cubic (Pm \bar 3 m) phase has been revealed near 753 K. In the non-centrosymmetricP4mmsymmetry group, the difference in relative displacement between Pb and O along thec-axis is much larger than that between Ti and O. The Pb and Ti cations contribute sufficiently to polarization being shifted in the opposite direction compared with the shift of O atoms. Deviation from the linear changes in Debye–Waller factors and bonding distances in the tetragonal phases can be interpreted as a precursor phenomenon before the phase transition. Disturbance of the temperature factorUeqfor O is observed in the vicinity of the transition point, whileUeqvalues for Pb and Ti are continuously changing with increasing temperature. The O site includes the clear configurational disorder in the cubic phase. The polar local positional distortions remain in the cubic phase and are regarded as the cause of the paraelectricity. Estimated values of the Debye temperature ΘDfor Pb and Ti are 154 and 467 K in the tetragonal phase and decrease 22% in the high-temperature phase. Effective potentials for Pb and Ti change significantly and become soft after the phase transition.

Abstract Dielectric measurements on single crystals and DSC of the title compound (monoclinic, space group P21) revealed a ferroelectric transition at ca. 355 K (ΔH ≈ 0.5 kJ mol-1) Powder x-ray diffraction indicated that the high temperature phase is also monoclinic and the change in volume at the transition is very small. A displacement of hydrogen atoms is considered as responsible for the appearance of ferroelectricity. The 35Cl NQR signals at ca. 77 K were considerably broad, but a drastic narrowing took place after the compound had once experienced the phase transition. A tentative assignment of the NQR spectrum was made from a calculation of the NQR frequencies based on the CNDO/2 method. Another phase transition was evidenced by a small drift of the DSC curve and a slight anomaly of the dielectric behavior around 358 K. The present 1H NMR experiments gave no indication of the onset of torsional motion of the NH2 group reported to occur at ca. 210 K.

Two novel inorganic–organic hybrid supramolecular assemblies, namely, (4-HNA)(18-crown-6)(HSO4) (1) and (4-HNA)2(18-crown-6)2(PF6)2(CH3OH) (2) (4-HNA = 4-nitroanilinium), were synthesized and characterized by infrared spectroscopy, single X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and temperature-dependent dielectric measurements. The two compounds underwent reversible phase transitions at about 255 K and 265 K, respectively. These phase transitions were revealed and confirmed by the thermal anomalies in DSC measurements and abrupt dielectric anomalies during heating. The phase transition may have originated from the [(4-HNA)(18-crown-6)]+ supramolecular cation. The inorganic anions tuned the crystal packings and thus influenced the phase-transition points and types. The variable-temperature X-ray diffraction data for crystal 1 revealed the occurrence of a phase transition in the high-temperature phase with the space group of P21/c and in the low-temperature phase with the space group of P21/n. Crystal 2 exhibited the same space group P21/c at different temperatures. The results indicated that crystals 1 and 2 both underwent an iso-structural phase transition.

The ac conductivity and DSC calorimetry data reveal interesting solid state interactions and solid phase transition behavior in the Na2SO4–Cs2SO4 binary system. The β → α solid transition of NaCsSO4 is reported for the first time. These data indicate preferential reaction between Cs2SO4 and the high temperature phase I of Na2SO4, exemplifying the Hedvall effect, to form the compound NaCsSO4 which further interacts with excess Na2SO4 or excess Cs2SO4 to form 1:1 association complexes, viz. NaCsSO4:Na2SO4 and NaCsSO4:Cs2SO4. These complexes appear to dissociate at low temperatures reminiscent of spinodal-type decomposition behavior. The reaction enthalpies of NaCsSO4, β → α transition of NaCsSO4 and complex associations are reported.The report contains two unexpected results: (i) a subdued higher ionic conductivity relative to its Rb2SO4 analogue and (ii) a conductivity drop accompanying the high temperature phase transition which is in strong contrast to all the other Na2SO4 – mixed alkali compositions.
