Abstract
According to NMR and IR spectroscopy, microanalysis, simultaneous thermal analysis, and X-ray diffraction measurements, 2-bromo-4,5-dinitroimidazole forms isostructural clathrates (Ia3̅) of the stoichiometry (BrDNI)3(solvent)(H2O)2 (solvent = MeCN, acetone, MeNO2) in which a hydrogen- and halogen-bonded BrDNI-H2O clathrate framework provides for 1458 to 1392 Å3 large crystal voids which collapse at Ton = 40 to 63 °C. The clathrates are weakly energetic (DCJ <5 km s–1, pCJ <5 kbar).
期刊介绍:
The aim of Crystal Growth & Design is to stimulate crossfertilization of knowledge among scientists and engineers working in the fields of crystal growth, crystal engineering, and the industrial application of crystalline materials.
Crystal Growth & Design publishes theoretical and experimental studies of the physical, chemical, and biological phenomena and processes related to the design, growth, and application of crystalline materials. Synergistic approaches originating from different disciplines and technologies and integrating the fields of crystal growth, crystal engineering, intermolecular interactions, and industrial application are encouraged.
