Films exhibiting co-crystalline (CC) phases between a polymer host and low-molecular-mass guest molecules are relevant for many applications. As is usual for semi-crystalline polymers, axially oriented films can give relevant information on the crystalline structure, both by Wide Angle X-ray diffraction fiber patterns and by polarized Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Axially oriented CC phases of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene)oxide (PPO) with 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (mesitylene) can be simply obtained by the stretching of CC PPO films. In fact, due to the plasticization effect of this highly boiling guest, PPO orientation can occur in a stretching temperature range (170–175 °C) nearly 50 °C lower than that generally needed for PPO films (220–230 °C). This low stretching temperature range allows avoidance of polymer oxidation, as well as formation of the mesomorphic dense γ PPO phase. Axially oriented CC phases of PPO with toluene, i.e., with a more volatile guest, can be instead obtained by the stretching (in the same low temperature range: 170–175 °C) of CC PPO blend films with polystyrene.

Organic Framework

The compound [Cd(4,4'-bpy)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2·(L)2 was obtained by the reaction of Cd(ClO4)2, bis(1-pyrazinylethylidene)hydrazine (L) and 4,4'-bipyridine in aqueous MeOH. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction has revealed its two-dimensional metal-organic framework. The 2-D layers superpose on each other, giving a channel structure. The square planar grids consist of two pairs of shared edges with Cd(II) ion and a 4,4'-bipyridine molecule each vertex and side, respectively. The square cavity has a dimension of 11.817 × 11.781 Å. Two guest molecules of bis(1-pyrazinylethylidene)hydrazine are clathrated in every hydrophobic host cavity, being further stabilized by π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding. The results suggest that the hydrazine molecules present in the network serve as structure-directing templates in the formation of crystal structures.

Urea Inclusion

In this paper we report single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of urea inclusion compounds containing diacyl peroxides (dioctanoyl peroxide (OP), diundecanoyl peroxide (UP), lauroyl peroxide (LP)) as the guest component. In these inclusion compounds, the host (urea) molecules crystallize in a hexagonal structure that contains linear, parallel, non-intersecting channels (tunnels). The guest (diacyl peroxide) molecules are closely packed inside these channels with a periodic repeat distance that is incommensurate with the period of the host structure along the channel axis. Furthermore, there is pronounced inhomogeneity within the guest structure: within each single crystal, there are regions in which the guest molecules are three-dimensionally ordered, and other regions in which they are only one-dimensionally ordered (along the channel axis). Although it has not proven possible to ‘determine’ the guest structures in the conventional sense, substantial information concerning their average periodicities and their orientational relationships with respect to the host has been deduced from single crystal X-ray diffraction photographs recorded at room temperature. For OP/urea, UP/urea and LP/urea, the guest structure in the three-dimensionally ordered regions is monoclinic, and six types of domain of this monoclinic structure can be identified within each single crystal. The relative packing of diacyl peroxide molecules is the same in each domain, and the different domains are related by 60° rotation about the channel axis. For each of these inclusion compounds, the offset between the ‘heights’ of the guest molecules in adjacent channels is the same ( ca . 4.6 Å (4.6 x 10 -10 m)) within experimental error, suggesting that the relative interchannel packing of the guest molecules is controlled by a property of the diacyl peroxide group. In addition to revealing these novel structural properties, the work discussed in this paper has more general relevance concerning the measurement and interpretation of single crystal X-ray diffraction patterns that are based on more than one three-dimensionally periodic reciprocal lattice. Seven separate reciprocal lattices are required to rationalize the complete X-ray diffraction pattern from each diacyl peroxide/urea crystal studied here.

Ti3C2Tx MXene, a new 2D nanosheet material, is expected to be an attractive reinforcement of metal matrix composites because its surfaces are terminated with Ti and/or functional groups of –OH, –O, and –F which improve its wettability with metals. Thus, new Ti3C2Tx/Al composites with strong interfaces and novel properties are desired. To prepare such composites, the chemical stability of Ti3C2Tx with Al at high temperatures should be investigated. This work first reports on the chemical stability of Ti3C2Tx MXene with Al in the temperature range 500–700 °C. Ti3C2Tx is thermally stable with Al at temperatures below 700 °C, but it reacts with Al to form Al3Ti and TiC at temperatures above 700 °C. The chemical stability and microstructure of the Ti3C2Tx/Al samples were investigated by differential scanning calorimeter, X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy.

Reduction of [(η-C5Me5)MoCl(O)]2(μ-O) or (η-C5Me5)MoCl2(O) with sodium or magnesium amalgam, magnesium turnings, or tributyltin hydride produced [(η-C5Me5)Mo]4O7, with [(η-C5Me5)Mo(O)(μ-O)]2 as a co-product. [(η-C5Me5)Mo]4O7 was characterized by X-ray diffraction, mass spectrometry, 1H NMR and IR spectroscopies, and magnetism. Crystals of [(η-C5Me5)Mo]4O7 contained a tetrahedral [(η-C5Me5)Mo]4 unit (Mo-Mo = 2.909 (3) Å) with the Mo4O7 core having the structure Mo4(μ2-O(b))3(µ2-O(c))3(µ3-O(a)) (3). Microcrystalline samples of [(η-C5Me5)Mo]4O7 were paramagnetic over the temperature range 2-300 K, with an effective moment of 1.26 μB at 300 K. [(η-C5Me5)Mo]4O7 was also paramagnetic in chloroform solution, over the temperature range 223-298 K, with an effective moment of 1.43 µB at 298 K. The 1H NMR spectrum showed a broad resonance at 16.3 ppm (Δν 1/2 = 113 Hz) and two narrow resonances at 1.89 ppm and 1.69 ppm (Δν 1/2 = 5 Hz). The magnetism and NMR spectra showed that [(η-C5Me5)Mo]4O7 existed in two forms which were in equilibrium in solution. One form was paramagnetic (S = 1), with the Mo4O7 core having the geometry 3, and the other was diamagnetic (S = 0), with the Mo4O7 core having the geometry 4.Key words: cluster, cyclopentadienyl, molybdenum, oxide, paramagnetism.

Chlorophenoxyacetic Acid

The crystal structures of 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4CPA) included in β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (TMβCD) have been studied by X-ray diffraction. The 4CPA/β-CD complex crystallizes as a head-to-head dimer in the space group C2 in the Tetrad packing mode. The packing modes of some β-CD dimeric complexes, having unique stackings, are also discussed. The 4CPA/TMβCD inclusion complex crystallizes in the space group P21 and its asymmetric unit contains two crystallographically independent complexes, complex A and complex B, exhibiting different conformations. The host molecule of complex A is significantly distorted, as a glucosidic residue rotated about the O4′—C1 and C4—O4 bonds forms an aperture where the guest molecule is accommodated. The phenyl moiety of the guest molecule of complex B is nearly perpendicular to the mean plane of the O4n atoms. The conformations of the guest molecules of the two complexes are similar. The crystal packing consists of antiparallel columns as in the majority of the TMβCD complexes published so far.

For the first time, double gadolinium tellurites of the composition GdMIITeO4.5 (MII — Sr, Ba) were synthesized by the solid-phase method. The solid-phase synthesis of samples was carried out from decrepitated gadolinium (III) and tellurium (IV) oxides, strontium, and barium carbonates according to the standard ceramic technology. The synthesis was carried out in the temperature range of 800-1100 °C. The samples obtained were confirmed by X-ray phase analysis. X-ray phase analysis was carried out on an Empyrean instrument in the XRDML Pananalitical format. The intensity of the diffraction maxima was estimated on a 100-point scale. X-ray diffraction patterns indexing of the powder of gadolinium tellurites — alkaline earth metals studied were carried out by the homology method. The reliability and correctness of the results of indexing the X-ray diffraction patterns are confirmed by the good agreement between the experimental and calculated values of the interplanar distances (d) and the agreement between the values of the X-ray and pycnometric densities. It was found that compounds GdSrTeO4.5 and GdBaTeO4.5 crystallize in the monoclinic system and have the unit cell parameters, namely GdSrTeO4.5 — a = 12.7610, b = 10.4289, c = 8.6235 Å, V° = 1141.83 Å3, β = 95.77°, Z = 5, ρrent. = 3.22, ρpikn. = (3.10±0.09) g/cm3; GdBaTeO4.5 — a = 15.7272, b = 15.8351, c = 7.1393 Å, V° = 1769.72 Å3, β = 95.53°, Z = 8, ρrent = 3.71, ρpick = (3.61±0.10) g/cm3. Using the Landiya method, the standard heat capacities of the compounds were estimated from the calculated values of the standard entropies, and the temperature dependences of the heat capacities of the gadolinium tellurites synthesized were determined in the temperature range of 298–850 K.

The adsorption behaviour of the CdII–MOF {[Cd(L)2(ClO4)2]·H2O (1), where L is 4-amino-3,5-bis[3-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl]-1,2,4-triazole, for butan-2-one was investigated in a single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) fashion. A new host–guest system that encapsulated butan-2-one molecules, namely poly[[bis{μ3-4-amino-3,5-bis[3-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl]-1,2,4-triazole}cadmium(II)] bis(perchlorate) butanone sesquisolvate], {[Cd(C24H18N6)2](ClO4)2·1.5C4H8O} n , denoted C4H8O@Cd-MOF (2), was obtained via an SCSC transformation. MOF 2 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P43212. The specific binding sites for butan-2-one in the host were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions and C—H...π interactions between the framework, ClO4 − anions and guest molecules co-operatively bind 1.5 butan-2-one molecules within the channels. The adsorption behaviour was further evidenced by 1H NMR, IR, TGA and powder X-ray diffraction experiments, which are consistent with the single-crystal X-ray analysis. A 1H NMR experiment demonstrates that the supramolecular interactions between the framework, ClO4 − anions and guest molecules in MOF 2 lead to a high butan-2-one uptake in the channel.
