Imidazolium in salts with dicarboxylic acids have been found to have a well ordered hydrogen-bond network and only in Im-MAL [Pogorzelec-Glaser et al. (2006). Mater. Sci.-Pol. (2006), 24, 245–252] were two types of cation observed: ordered Im-I and disordered Im-II. Im-I is involved in hydrogen bonds with malonic acid molecules, whereas Im-II is disordered between two symmetrically equivalent positions with occupancy of 0.5. NMR studies by Mizuno et al. [Hyperfine Interact. (2015), 230, 95–100] showed an 180° flip of ordered Im-I and calculated contribution of Im-I flipping to proton conductivity of Im-MAL. Ławniczak et al. [Solid State Ionics (2017), 306, 25] reported that temperature variation of the proton conductivity by impedance spectroscopy yielded the conductivity value higher than that calculated by Mizuno for Im-I. Moreover these detailed structure studies at 240 K and 280 K excluded any phase transition. Repeated X-ray studies from 14 K to 360 K show a continuous increase in anisotropic displacement factors. The half-occupied hydrogen bonds linking the Im-II nitro­gen atoms with hydroxyl oxygen atoms may be considered as electric dipoles and the interbond proton transfer as dipolar switching. It assumed here a coherent switching at low temperatures and a decrease of the coupling at higher temperatures with the disappearance at cross-over temperature at 318 K. The possible proton pathway in the crystal structure is determined and the contribution of the proton dynamics of Im-II to phonon-assisted proton diffusion in the ordered substructure is estimated.","PeriodicalId":6887,"journal":{"name":"Acta Crystallographica Section B Structural Crystallography and Crystal Chemistry","volume":"3 1","pages":"31-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85234728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

[J. Mol. Struct. (2005), 741, 149–153]. Factors directing the reaction, such as product com­position and phase stability, were monitored by analysis of the PXRD patterns of the bulk solids obtained under different experimental conditions. The relative proportions of the mixed phases 1–3 or their stabilization are highly dependent on the initial Co:Mo molar ratio and the reaction temperature. In particular, an increase in temperature induces the transformation of 1–3 into more thermodynamically stable phases formed by one-dimensional coordination polymers [Co(bpy)2(β-Mo8O26)0.5]n (4) and [(MoO3)(bpy)]n (5). The crystal structures of 1–3 correspond to molecular salts self-assembled by C—H⋯O—Mo, C⋯H and H⋯H intermolecular contacts. A Hirshfeld surface analysis for 1 showed that the C⋯H and H⋯H interactions represent an average of 51.8% of the total cation–cation intermolecular contacts. In contrast, these interactions are vastly reduced in 2 (23.0%) and 3 (average 28.5% for both isomers). EPR experiments indicated that the crystal structures of 1 and 3 are paramagnetic, and that for 2 is diamagnetic. The paramagnetism of 3 stems from the in situ formation of [Co(bpy)3]3+ in a high-spin configuration. The structure-directing properties of the [Co(bpy)3]n+ cations in the isolation and self-assembly of concomitant octamolybdate isomers are also described from the viewpoint of crystal engineering.","PeriodicalId":6887,"journal":{"name":"Acta Crystallographica Section B Structural Crystallography and Crystal Chemistry","volume":"1 1","pages":"99-114"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86504795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After separation and purification, acetone is used as a solvent to obtain light-yellow crystals at room temperature. The molecular structure of cis-HNS is determined through analysis of Fourier transform infrared, 13C NMR and 1H NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The thermal decomposition properties of cis and trans-HNS are studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). When the heating rate is low, cis-HNS will undergo a crystal transformation after melting, from liquid cis-HNS to liquid trans-HNS, and then it will solidify and release heat. According to the results of DSC data, the apparent kinetic parameters of thermal decomposition of cis- and trans-HNS were obtained by Kissinger method [Kissinger (1957). Anal.

However, this model does not give a quantitative description of the electron-density distribution. A better model that allows for modelling of aspherical charge density deformations is introduced by the Hansen–Coppens variant of the multipole model of electron density. However, the application of this model requires crystals of excellent quality and high-resolution XRD data which are quite often difficult criteria to fulfil. Therefore, Mo Kα and Cu Kα data of three model compounds (tricyclic imide, xylitol and methyluracil) were refined using IAM and new methods which enabled the refinement and reconstruction of charge density based on the Cu Kα data. These methods were the Bond-Oriented Deformation Density (BODD) model, Hirshfeld Atom Refinement (HAR) and the Transferable Aspherical Atom Model (TAAM). The final results were compared to the model obtained from neutron diffraction experiments. Our results demonstrated not only that Cu Kα data may be refined using BODD, HAR and TAAM methods, but also revealed systematic errors arising from the use of Cu Kα data. These errors were a result of the limited information in the low-resolution data set that manifested as higher values for the anisotropic displacement parameters (ADPs) and smaller maxima and minima of the residual electron density for the Cu Kα data compared to the Mo Kα data. Notably, these systematic errors were much less significant than those found for the IAM. Therefore, the application of BODD, HAR and TAAM on Cu Kα data has a more significant influence on the final results of refinement than for the Mo Kα data.","PeriodicalId":6887,"journal":{"name":"Acta Crystallographica Section B Structural Crystallography and Crystal Chemistry","volume":"5 1","pages":"41-53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90416566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experimental diffraction data in the forms of static structure factors and pair distribution functions are analyzed in reciprocal and real spaces and compared with results of model-based simulations. A new approach to modeling the structure of the disordered phases, taking into account the intermolecular scattering contribution in the form of sharp Bragg peaks, the slowly varying intensity associated with intramolecular correlations and the diffusive component resulting from structural disorder, is applied. In the case of the LQ and OG samples, reverse Monte Carlo simulations are also used. The PC and OTG phases show long-range ordering of the hexagonal close-packed (hcp)-type structure up to 120 Å with random orientation of the molecules. Assuming a rigid molecular skeleton, isotropic free rotations of the molecules about their geometrical center in full and limited angular ranges are generated in theoretical models of the structure. It is demonstrated that the adoption of free rotations of the molecules leads to the best fits to experimental data for each studied phase of levoglucosan. The diffraction patterns of the LQ and OG samples show a relatively sharp first peak originating from quasi-Bragg planes of the densely packed face-centered cubic (fcc) type molecular arrangement. Moreover, the slowly varied intensity component of LQ and OG is practically the same as that of PC and OTG, suggesting that the intramolecular structure of these four phases does not change. Interestingly, structural correlations for the disordered LQ and OG states extend surprisingly far, up to about 50 Å. In addition, for all levoglucosan phases investigated, the paracrystalline disorder imposed on the generated models resulted in better compliance with the experimental data.","PeriodicalId":6887,"journal":{"name":"Acta Crystallographica Section B Structural Crystallography and Crystal Chemistry","volume":"49 1","pages":"138-149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79407899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
