The XRD parameters estimate crystal lattice as orthorhombic. The birefringence effect is measured with inter‐atomic attractive dispersion forces. The rearrangement of molecular frame of fluorine on par with amino substitution is estimated. The electro‐optic effect is established by parametric oscillations of accumulation of chemical potential to enable the mechanism of nonlinear optical (NLO) effect. The dielectric loss with respect to the temperature/electrical frequency and the active optical property is measured. The amino group causes optical scattering of nodal regions for radiation absorption process to fascinate optical endurance. The chemical energy processing to acquire the chemical potential to operate light frequency amplification is thoroughly studied from the observation of chemical shift over the molecular frame. The oscillated parametric energy on nonbonding molecular orbital (NBMO) is initiated by the NH2group on the ring carbon–carbon (CC) and it is exchanged among nodal zones of core and comprised of the above segments of the ring.","PeriodicalId":10797,"journal":{"name":"Crystal Research and Technology","volume":"4 5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75941972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Molecular interaction and packing mode are important factors affecting the stability of solvates. In this study, 2,7‐dibromo‐9H‐carbazole is selected as the model compound to investigate the influence of molecular stacking mode on the stability of solvates. An anhydrous form and five solvates of 2,7‐dibromo‐9H‐carbazole are obtained by recrystallization. The desolvation phenomena of the five solvates are studied by thermogravimetric analysis, hot stage microscope, and infrared spectroscopy and it is found that the stability of the solvates is N,N‐dimethylacetamide solvate > dimethyl sulfoxide solvate > N,N‐dimethylformamide solvate > dioxane solvate > acetonitrile solvate. Crystal structures are analyzed by single crystal X‐ray diffraction and Hirshfeld surface analysis is also applied to analyze the intermolecular interactions in the crystals. The results show that the stability of the five solvates is related to the packing modes of the molecules in the crystal. It is suggested that the solute molecules and solvent molecules in the unstable solvates are arranged in the interlayer mode, while they are arranged in a staggered mode in stable solvates.","PeriodicalId":10797,"journal":{"name":"Crystal Research and Technology","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84084202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amylopectin is the most important organic matter of it, which can improve the mechanical properties and durability of sticky rice mortar by inducing mineralization of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). However, amylopectin induced formation of CaCO3 has not been reported. In this paper, mineralization of CaCO3 induced by gelatinized amylopectin is investigated. For comparison, the different morphologies of CaCO3 are studied in the presence of Mg2+, Fe3+. Moreover, these CaCO3 products with different morphologies are used to clean the waste water. The results indicate that gelatinized amylopectin is conducive to formation of pumpkin‐like vaterite. It forms uniform rod and dumbbell‐shaped calcite in the presence of Mg2+, form calcite with stepped depressions in the presence of Fe3+. The adsorption of Pb(II) can reach extremely high level (1445.86 mg g−1) with the rod‐like calcite.","PeriodicalId":10797,"journal":{"name":"Crystal Research and Technology","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74798542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of synthesis steps on the final product is discussed. Continuous TiC fibers synthesized have a smooth surface morphology, with average diameter of 148 nm and length in the centimeter range. X‐ray diffraction and high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis results indicate that the fibers consist of TiC of high purity. Impact of heat treatment on the morphology and chemical and crystalline composition of the product is also investigated. Based on the experimental evidence, it is hypothesized that the carbothermal reduction of calcined electrospun fibers with precoated carbon proceeds through diffusion‐limited shrinking core pathway while that of the as‐spun fibers follows the reaction‐limited solution precipitation mechanism. The TiC nanofibers also show superior sintering properties by increasing theoretical density of hot pressed TiB2 from 94.5% of theoretical density to 97.9% of theoretical density. When sintered with ceria, it improves the conductivity of the ceria by 18.29 times as compared to 2.94 times by TiC nanoparticles at 800 °C. The TiC nanofibers show metallic behavior as well as potential for application as electrochemical double layer capacitor supercapacitors.","PeriodicalId":10797,"journal":{"name":"Crystal Research and Technology","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91236307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A facile one‐pot method is employed for the chlorination of vanillin using N‐chlorosuccinimide. After chlorination, the single crystals of 5CMHBA are grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique. Grown crystals are subjected to single crystal X‐ray diffraction (SXRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), and Thermogravimetric‐Differential Thermal Analysis (TG‐DTA). 5CMHBA crystallizes in the tetragonal crystal system with the space group P42/n. Vibrational characteristics are studied using FTIR. Further, thermal studies of the crystal are carried out using simultaneous TG‐DTA thermal analyzer. The molecular structure and its intermolecular interactions are studied by applying time–dependent density functional theory (TD‐DFT) using Gaussian 09 program and Hirshfeld surface analysis. A lesser energy gap of the 5CMHBA compared to that of vanillin shows the high reactivity of the molecule. Dipole moment, polarizability, and hyper‐polarizability are calculated in the molecular level and found to have greater polarizability than vanillin and also higher in order than that of standard urea molecule. This reveals the suitability of the molecule for nonlinear optical applications.
