AbstractTwo-dimensional NMR methods allow a determination of the relative orientations of nearby molecules in polycrystalline and noncrystalline solids. We describe these methods and present applications to the determination of the crystal structures of two forms of polycrystalline methanol and to the investigation of short range molecular orientational ordering in methanol glass and in atactic PMMA.

AbstractWe report about the synthesis and crystal structure determination of Hg2(NCN)Cl2 (P21/c (No. 14), Z = 4, a = 806.7(1), b = 907.1(2), c = 788.0(1) pm, β = 106.446(3)°, 1374 independent reflections, 67 variables, R1 = 0.0463) and Hg3(NCN)2Cl2 (Pca21 (No. 29), Z = 4, a = 702.0(2), b = 1078.5(2), c = 1050.3(2) pm, 1977 independent reflections, 71 variables, R1 = 0.0380). Both compounds contain infinite -Hg-NCN-Hg- zigzag chains which are linked by additional Hg atoms to result in two-dimensional frameworks characterized by 20-membered rings sharing edges. The remarkably flexible structural backbone [Hg3(NCN)2]2+ hosts additional Cl! anions and HgCl2 molecules in Hg2(NCN)Cl2 but only Cl- anions in Hg3(NCN)2Cl2, by that reaching a high packing efficiency in both cases.While Hg2(NCN)Cl2 exclusively contains carbodiimide N=C=N2- species, Hg3(NCN)2Cl2 is the first structural example of an inorganic network built up from both carbodiimide N=C=N2- and cyanamide N-C≡N2- groups.
