Synthesis, Spectral and Crystal Structure of Chromium (III) Complex with 1,4,8,11-tetrakis-(2-Methylpyridyl)-1,4,8,11-Tetraazacyclotetradecane

Abstract  
The title new compound, cis-[Cr(tmpcH)Cl2][ZnCl4]·MeOH (1) was prepared by using 1,4,8,11-tetrakis-(2-Methylpyridyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (tmpc) with Cr(III) and its structure and electronic transition bands were determined. The compound crystallizes in monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/n with a/Å = 16.9284(12), b/Å = 12.9024(9), c/Å = 20.0535(15), β/º = 109.6790(10), Z = 4. In the X-ray structure of the complex, it was found that the ligand bonds with Cr(III) through exo-coordination to form an octahedral geometry. The electronic spectral data also show that even in the solution state, the compound preserves a six coordinated structure around the metal ion as two bands were observed in the visible region of the spectra. The presence of cis-geometrical configuration in the compound was confirmed by the IR spectral studies.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Cytotoxic Property of Bis(4-chlorobenzoato)bis[1-(2-aminoethyl)piperidine]disilver(I)

Abstract  
4-Chlorobenzoic acid reacts with silver oxide and 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperidine to give a dinuclear silver(I) complex, [Ag2(C7H4ClO2)2(C7H16N2)2]. The complex was characterized by elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P−1 with unit cell dimensions a = 6.8550(10), b = 8.7370(10), c = 13.859(2) Å, α = 73.213(3), β = 87.945(3), γ = 77.050(3)°, V = 774.09(18) Å3, Z = 1, R 1 = 0.0386, and wR 2 = 0.0791. The dimeric Ag complex is located on an inversion center. The Ag atom in the complex is three-coordinated by two N atoms from two 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperidine ligands and by one O atom of a 4-chlorobenzoate ligand, forming a triangular coordination. In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked through intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the a axis. The complex shows high cytotoxic property to both normal and carcinoma cells.
Graphical Abstract  
The synthesis, crystal structure and cytotoxic property of a new silver(I) complex has been presented.

Order and Disorder in the Structures of Two Crystal Polymorphs of the Adduct Bis(Quinolinium-2-Carboxylate) DL-Malic Acid

Abstract  
The structures of two polymorphs of the anhydrous cocrystal adduct of bis(quinolinium-2-carboxylate) DL-malic acid, one triclinic the other monoclinic and disordered, have been determined at 200 K. Crystals of the triclinic polymorph 1 have space group P-1, with Z = 1 in a cell with dimensions a = 4.4854(4), b = 9.8914(7), c = 12.4670(8) Å, α = 79.671(5), β = 83.094(6), γ = 88.745(6)°. Crystals of the monoclinic polymorph 2 have space group P21/c, with Z = 2 in a cell with dimensions a = 13.3640(4), b = 4.4237(12), c = 18.4182(5) Å, β = 100.782(3)°. Both structures comprise centrosymmetric cyclic hydrogen-bonded quinolinic acid zwitterion dimers [graph set R22(10)] and 50% disordered malic acid molecules which lie across crystallographic inversion centres. However, the oxygen atoms of the malic acid carboxylic groups in 2 are 50% rotationally disordered whereas in 1 these are ordered. There are similar primary malic acid carboxyl O–H···Oquinaldic acid hydrogen-bonding chain interactions in each polymorph, extended into two-dimensional structures but in 1 this involves centrosymmetric cyclic head-to-head malic acid hydroxyl-carboxyl O–H···O interactions [graph set R22(10)] whereas in 2 the links are through single hydroxy-carboxyl hydrogen bonds.
Graphical Abstract  
The structure determinations of two crystal polymorphs of the 2:1 adduct of quinolinium-2-carboxylate with DL-malic acid has shown one to be triclinic and ordered while in the second monoclinic form the carboxylic acid groups of the malic acid moiety are disordered.

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Two New Layered Inorganic–Organic Hybrid Zinc Phosphites Templated by Cyclam: Zn(HPO3)2·0.5(C10H28N4) and Zn2(HPO3)3·0.5(C10H28N4)

Abstract  
Using 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam) as a template, two new layered zincophosphites, Zn(HPO3)2·0.5(C10H28N4) (1) and Zn2(HPO3)3·0.5(C10H28N4) (2), were synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The two new compounds crystallize in the triclinic system with the space group P − 1 and the cell parameters: a = 8.3130 Å, b = 8.7289 Å, c = 9.0055 Å, α = 106.90(1), β = 95.56(1), γ = 105.30(1), V = 592.31 Å3, Z = 2 for 1 and a = 9.0406 Å, b = 9.4234 Å, c = 9.4519 Å, α = 91.19(1), β = 100.73(1), γ = 106.85(1), V = 754.82 Å3, Z = 2 for 2. Both structures are described in terms of phosphometallic slabs hosting the cyclam cation.
Graphical Abstract  
Both new compounds Zn(HPO3)2·0.5(C10H28N4) and Zn2(HPO3)3·0.5(C10H28N4) consist in zincophosphite slabs hosting the tetraprotonated organic cyclam (C10H28N4)4+.

Hydrogen-bonded Three-dimensional Supramolecular Network Constructed by Dinuclear Ni(II) Macrocyclic Complex and 1,2,4,5-Benzenetetracarboxylate

Abstract  
A new coordination polymer [Ni2(L)(H2btec)]n, (1) was obtained from the reaction of NiSO4·6H2O, macrocyclic ligand 3,6,9,17,20,23-hexaaza-29,30-dihydroxy-13,27-di-tert-butyl-tricyclo[23,3,1,111,15]triaconta-1(28),11,13,15(30),25,26-hexaene (H2L), and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid (H4btec) in methanol. Its structure was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal is monoclinic C2/c space group with cell parameters a = 20.4923(3) Å, b = 14.2389(3) Å, c = 14.5130(2) Å, β = 97.441(2)°, V = 4199.05(12) Å3, and Z = 8. The X-ray analysis shows that each Ni (II) cation is six-coordinated by an O3N3 donor set. The macrocyclic complex [Ni2L] 2+ are bridged by H2btec2− anions to form 1D chains, which are further joined via N–H···O hydrogen bonds to yield a 3D supramolecular structure. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) for the complex is discussed.

Molecular Association of Almotriptan with Oxalate and Terephthalate Anions

Abstract  
Crystal structures of anti-migraine drug almotriptan were crystallized with oxalic acid (I) and with terephthalic acid (II) and their crystal structures and molecular associations were determined using X-ray diffraction methods. Crystals of both (I) and (II) are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 5.6270(4) Å, b = 27.6419(19) Å, c = 13.6228(9) Å, β = 93.057(1)°, V = 2115.9(3) Å3, Z = 4 (I) and a = 13.3756(15) Å, b = 15.6065(17) Å, c = 10.7238(12) Å, β = 98.017(2)°, V = 2216.7(4) Å3, Z = 4 (II). In almotriptan oxalate {systematic name: N,N-dimethyl-2-[5-(pyrrolidin-1-ylsulfonyl-methyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-ethanaminium semioxalate}, C17H26N3O2S+, C2HO4 , (I) and in almotriptan hemi terephthalate hydrate {systematic name: N,N-dimethyl-2-[5-(pyrrolidin-1-ylsulfonyl-methyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-ethanaminium hemi terephthalate monohydrate}, C17H26N3O2S+, 0.5(C8H4O4 2−), H2O, (II), both the almotriptan cations form a trimer with the corresponding anions via N–H···O hydrogen bonds. In (I), the oxalate salt is monoprotonated and in (II), the terephthalic acid is located across the inversion centre and exists as doubly protonated anion. In (I), the cation and anion are interlinked by the N–H···O and O–H···O hydrogen bonds into continuous two-dimensional layers generate an R66(34) hydrogen-bonded motif tetramers running parallel to the (0 0 1) plane. In (II), the cation and water form a centrosymmetric tetramer of R44(22) hydrogen-bonded motif via N–H···O and O–H···O hydrogen bonds and further cross-linked by centrosymmetric anions to form an infinite three-dimensional supramolecular hydrogen-bonded networks.
Graphical Abstract  
In the present study, we have determined the crystal structures of almotriptan with oxalate and terephthalate anions.

Synthesis, Crystal Structures, and Antibacterial Activity of Two Hydrazone Derivatives 3-Methoxy-N′-(3,5-Dibromo-2-Hydroxybenzylidene)Benzohydrazide Methanol Solvate and 3-Methoxy-N′-(2,4-Diclorobenzylidene)Benzohydrazide

Abstract  
Two new hydrazone compounds with the formulae C15H12Br2N2O3·CH3OH (1) and C15H12Cl2N2O2 (2), were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray determination. Compound (1) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with unit cell dimensions a = 7.654(1) Å, b = 13.801(2) Å, c = 16.904(2) Å, α = 90.772(2)o, β = 101.721(2)o, γ = 95.891(2)o, V = 1738.1(4) Ǻ3, Z = 4, R 1 = 0.0495 and wR 2 = 0.1161. Compound (2) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with unit cell dimensions a = 8.296(1) Å, b = 12.987(2) Å, c = 14.121(2) Å, α = 88.922(2)o, β = 87.960(2)o, γ = 84.130(2)o, V = 1512.3(4) Ǻ3, Z = 4, R 1 = 0.0526 and wR 2 = 0.1220. The single crystal structure analysis indicates that compound (1) consists of two nearly coplanar hydrazone molecules and two methanol molecules which link to the hydrazone molecules through O–H···O hydrogen bonds, while compound (2) consists of two independent distorted hydrazone molecules. In the crystal structure of (1), adjacent two hydrazone molecules are linked with methanol molecules through intermolecular hydrogen bonds of O–H···O and N–H···O, forming a dimer. In the crystal structure of (2), molecules are linked through intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the a axis.
Index Abstract  
Two new hydrazone derivatives were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray determination. Both structures are stabilized by intermolecular O–H···O and/or N–H···O hydrogen bonds and weak π···π interactions. The biological tests indicate that both compounds are excellent antibacterial materials.

Abstract  
Thiosemicarbazides and their derivatives are well known for their use in biological activity and many applications in pharmaceutical and industrial fields. The cyclization of 1-benzoyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-3-thiosemicarbazide (BNPTSC) in dimethylformamide (DMF) medium furnished N-(2-nitrophenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-amine (NPPOA). The chemical structure of the above substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole has been assigned by IR, mass and X-ray diffraction studies. The XRD studies reveal the presence of four types of hydrogen bonds (N–H···O, N–H···N, C–H···O, C–H···N) in the crystal packing. The crystal system was found to be orthorhombic with a space group Pca2(1) and the unit cell dimensions are: a = 26.873(3) Å, b = 6.0827(7) Å, c = 7.8502(10) Å, α = 90°, β = 90°, γ = 90° and Z = 4.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Luminescence Property of a Chiral Magnesium (II) Mixed-ligand Complex [Mg(H2O)2(phen)(HBDC)2](phen)

Abstract  
A new mixed-ligand complex of [Mg(H2O)2(phen)(HBDC)2](phen) (phen = 1, 10-phenanthroline, H2BDC = 1,3-benzene dicarboxylic acid) has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It is noteworthy that this complex was formed from achiral reactants, and found to crystallize in the chiral space group C2. Structure analysis shows that each Mg(II) ion is coordinated by the two nitrogen atoms of phen, one oxygen atom from each of the two 1,3-HBDC molecules and one oxygen atom from each of the two water molecules, leading to a distorted octahedral geometry. The mixed-ligand complexes are assembled into a two-dimensional supramolecular network through the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The luminescence property and thermal stability behavior of the complex were also investigated. The complex shows a strong blue luminescence emission. Crystal data: a = 24.5856(16), b = 10.1598(6), c = 7.1460(4) Å, β = 105.226(2)º, V = 1722.30(18)Å3, Z = 2, R 1 = 0.0367, wR 2 = 0.0833 [I>2σ(I)].
Graphical Abstract  
In this paper, the complex formed from achiral reactants and crystallized in chiral space group C2, and the luminescence property and thermal stability of the complex was investigated and it shows strong blue photoluminescence.

Crystal Structure, Infrared Spectra and DFT Study of Benzyl 2,3-Anhydro-β-d-Ribopyranoside

Abstract  
The crystal structure of benzyl 2,3-anhydro-β-d-ribopyranoside is orthorhombic, P212121, Z = 4. The pyranose ring adopts the E O conformation distorted considerably to the 5 H O direction. The molecules of the title compound are linked into infinite chains running along the a-axis by bifurcated O–H···O hydrogen bonds. Interaction energies of these hydrogen bonds are significantly different, ~−5.4 for the bond with the smaller and ~−1.1 kcal/mol for the bond with the larger O···O separation. The hydrogen-bond pattern is completed by the two weaker C–H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds, aiming at the epoxy oxygen atom. IR vibrational spectrum was interpreted by means of comparison with the full list of vibrational modes predicted using DFT method in the solid state. While till 1495 cm−1 the individual bands can be reconciled with single calculated modes, the region below this limit is populated by heavily overlapped HCH, HCO, HOC, COC and HCC bending modes merged with few ν(CC) and ν(CO) modes. The respective “red” shifts of the positions of the ν(OH) bands correlate well with the size of the O···O separation.
Graphical Abstract  
The crystal structure and the analysis of electronic structure and vibrational modes of an important precursor for preparation of model branched oligosaccharides related to xylan, arabinoxylan and 4-O-methylglucuronoxylan have been established and discussed.

Single Crystal XRD Structure Determination and Analysis of Bis(2,9-Dimethyl-1,10-Phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)(Sulfato-κ2O,O′)Nickel(II), Hydrate (NiNeo2SO4·H2O; Neo: 2,9-Dimethyl-1,10-Phenanthroline)

Abstract  
The title compound is monomeric with a Ni(II) hexacoordinated center. The coordination sphere is formed with four nitrogens from two neocuproine molecules and two oxygens from a sulfate ion that acts as a bidentate ligand. A water molecule completes the formula with an important role in the stabilization of the structure through the formation of OW–H···OS bridges, in which it acts as a donor and interactions of the type Car–H···OW and CMet–H···OW, where it is an acceptor group (W: water; S: sulfate; ar: arene; Met: methyl). The compound is monoclinic, space group P21 /c with a = 14.4829(4) Å, b = 14.4563(4) Å, c = 12.1559(3) Å, β = 94.407(1)°, V = 2,537.55(12) Å3 and Z = 4. The structure was solved by direct methods with a conventional R (on F) = 0.0359 for 4841 reflexions with Fo > 4σ(Fo). Three levels of super-structural hierarchy can be identified in the crystal construction: (1) the primary structure corresponding to the molecular skeletons of their building blocks, the isolated complex itself and the water molecule, (2) an 1D supramolecular array that form chains through a non-covalent polymerization via interactions OW–H···OS, Car–H···OW, Car–H···OS and CMet–H···OW and (3) finally the 3D macroscopic conglomerate formed through inter-chains interactions Car–H···OW, Car–H···OS, CMet–H···ar and offset stacked arene–arene.
Graphical abstract  
The structure of the title compound is analysed from the molecular and supramolecular point of view.

Piperazine (pip) were reacted with benzoic acid (Hba) and different substituted benzoic acid, such as o-chlorobenzoic acid (Hocba), m-chlorobenzoic acid (Hmcba), p-chlorobenzoic acid (Hpcba), o-aminobenzoic acid (Hoaba), p-aminobenzoic acid (Hpaba), affording a series of compounds [H2pip][ba]2 (1), [H2pip][ocba]2 (2), [H2pip][mcba]2 (3), [H2pip][pcba]2 (4), [H2pip][oaba]2 (5), and [H2pip][paba]2 (6). Extensive N–H···O hydrogen bonds are found in 16, featuring different hydrogen-bonding motifs. Compounds 14 have two-dimensional layers stabilized by strong N–H···O hydrogen bonds, while compounds 5 and 6 exhibit one-dimensional ribbons formed by N–H···O hydrogen bonds. Moreover, in compound 6, the existence of water molecules extends the one-dimensional ribbons into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure via hydrogen bonds. CCDC: 672374, (1); 672375, (2); 672376, (3); 672377, (4); 672378, (5); 672379, (6).

Crystal Structure and Phase Transition of Diglycine Perchlorate

Abstract  
Diglycine perchlorate (DGPCl), a new 2:1 adduct formed between glycine and perchloric acid has been obtained and studied using differential scanning calorimetry and single crystal X-ray diffraction. DGPCl undergoes a reversible first-order phase transition at 261.5 K. The crystal structures at 150 and 293 K have been determined to be triclinic, space group P‐1, Z = 2, suggesting the first-order phase transition to be an isostructural phase transition. The DGPCl crystal consists of five glycinium-monoprotonated glycinium dimers and five perchlorate anions in an asymmetric unit. The glycine moieties in the glycinium-monoprotonated glycinium dimers are non-planar. Two types of hydrogen bonds are present in the crystal, strong O–H···O hydrogen bonds and a weak N–H···O hydrogen bonds. The short, strong O–H···O hydrogen bond connects the glycinium ion and mono protonated glycinium ion. In four of the dimers, the O–H and H···O bond lengths are different, indicating the hydrogen atom to be located more close to the monoprotonated glycinium ion. However, in one of the glycinium-monoprotonated glycinium dimer the O··H and H··O bond lengths are nearly equal, suggesting the hydrogen atom (O···H···O) to be attached to the oxygen atoms of both glycine moieties. On thermal transition some of these hydrogen bonds are weakened and in all dimers the hydrogen atom seems to be located more close to the mono protonated glycinium ion.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1,7-Bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-(1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidene)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione

Abstract  
The synthesis and crystal structure of 1,7-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-(1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidene)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione is described. This compound crystallizes in the space group P21 with unit cell parameters a = 14.207 Å, b = 7.752(1) Å, c = 19.473(1) Å, β = 91.00(3)°, with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The ketenedithioacetal functionality present between the carbonyl groups prevents the possibility of keto-enol tautomerization in this compound. The cinnamoyl groups are organized parallel to each other due to the push–pull nature of the ketenedithioacetal functionality.

Self-Assembly of Two Isomorphous Thiocyanate Complexes of Co(II) and Ni(II) with 3-Hydroxypicolinamide

Abstract  
The synthesis, thermal and spectral characterization, and crystal structure of isomorphous thiocyanate cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes with 3-hydroxypicolinamide (3-OHpia), [M(C6H6N2O2)2(NCS)2]·2H2O, are reported. The metal(II) ions are chelated by two cis-oriented 3-OHpia and two thiocyanate ligands in distorted octahedral geometry. The distortion within the coordination sphere is mainly imposed by formation of the chelate rings. The compounds crystallize in monoclinic space group P2/c with two symmetrically independent molecules and a = 14.4945(2) Å, b = 8.5906(1) Å, c = 16.3865(3) Å, β = 105.987(2)°, Z = 4 (1) and a = 14.4927(5) Å, b = 8.5912(3) Å, c = 16.2712(6) Å, β = 105.740(4)°, Z = 4 (2). Commonly observed supramolecular amide synthons are not robust enough to accommodate thiocyanate ions and H2O molecules. But instead, neutral complexes are linked through hydrogen bonds leading to two different hydrogen bonding ribbon motifs involving amide moieties and H2O molecules [C(8)R 22(12) along c axis] and amide moieties and thiocyanate ions [C(8)R 22(16) along b axis] for symmetrically related molecules labelled as 1 [Co1 (1) and Ni1 (2)] and 2 [Co2 (1) and Ni2 (2)], respectively.

The amide–amide interactions are not robust enough to accommodate usually disruptive thiocyanate ions and H2O molecule, but instead two different hydrogen bonding ribbon motifs involving amide groups are found, C(8)R 22(12) and C(8)R 22(16).

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Magnetic Property of a One-Dimensional Samarium(III) Coordination Polymer

Abstract  
A novel samarium(III) polymer, [Sm2(C6H5COO)6(CH3OH)3]·CH3OH (1) has been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. Polymer 1 crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2(1)/c, with a = 15.1247(6), b = 18.3351(7), c = 21.1266(6) Å, β = 126.830(2)°, V = 4689.4(3) Å3, and Z = 4. Single crystal X-ray analysis reveals a chain-like structure of 1 consisted of alternating eight- and nine-coordinate Sm(III) ions bridged by benzoate ligands in different coordination modes. A treatment of the variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility using an expression deduced from free-ion approximation and molecular field theory suggests the existence of a weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the samarium ions.

A Comparative Study of (tBu3Si)SiX2SiX2(SitBu3) (X = Cl, Br, I) Including the Result of the X-Ray Structure Analysis of (tBu3Si)SiI2SiI2(SitBu3)

Abstract  
The tetraiodotetrasilane (tBu3Si)SiI2SiI2(SitBu3) can be prepared from precursor (tBu3Si)SiH2SiH2(SitBu3). When (tBu3Si)SiH2SiH2(SitBu3) was treated with an excess of iodine at 120 °C, (tBu3Si)SiI2SiI2(SitBu3) was formed. X-ray quality crystals of (tBu3Si)SiI2SiI2(SitBu3) were grown from benzene at ambient temperature. The tetraiodotetrasilane (tBu3Si)SiI2SiI2(SitBu3) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, a = 10.0110(10) Å, b = 13.9130(10) Å, c = 25.422(2) Å, β = 99.072(4)°, V = 3496.6(5) Å3, Z = 4, d calcd = 1.829 g cm3; R 1 = 0.0844, wR 2 = 0.1854 for 3,017 reflections with I > 2σ(I). X-ray-crystallographic data show that the bromo and iodo derivatives (tBu3Si)SiX2SiX2(SitBu3) (X = Br, I) are isomorphous. The solid-state structure of (tBu3Si)SiI2SiI2(SitBu3) as well as those of (tBu3Si)SiX2SiX2(SitBu3) (X = Cl, Br) reveals a staggered conformation which adopts a trans-orientation of the supersilyl substituent. Unequal dihedral angles as found in (tBu3Si)SiX2SiX2(SitBu3) (X = Cl, Br, I) indicate that these compounds are sterically overcrowded.
Graphical Abstract  
In the solid-state (tBu3Si)SiI2SiI2(SitBu3) features a staggered conformation which adopts a trans-orientation of the supersilyl group. However the solid-state structure of (tBu3Si)SiI2SiI2(SitBu3) reveals unequal dihedral angles.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and NLO Properties of a Mixed Crystal K1−x(NH4)xH2PO4 (x = 0.5)

Abstract  
A new mixed crystal K1−x(NH4)xH2PO4 (KADP) of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) of ADP–KCl system has been synthesized with x = 0.5 by slow evaporation of the mixture of equimolar aqueous solution at room temperature. Crystal composition determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that it belongs to the tetragonal system with noncentrosymmetric space group I-42d and it is structurally similar to ADP crystals with the following parameters: a = 7.418(3) Å; c = 7.2284(6) Å; v = 404.63(4) Å3; z = 4. The substitution results in defect centers which influence the physical properties. Mixed crystal has a superior NLO activity, twice that of KH2PO4 (KDP), a well known NLO material and the enhanced NLO activity is rationalized. The structural analysis of KADP and the influence of partial cationic substitution in ADP by K+ ions on the NLO properties are reported.

The reaction of cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate and N-tert-butyl-2-thioimidazole (tmt-Bu) yielded products [k2-(tmt-Bu)2]CoCl2 (1) and [(tmt-Bu)2Co2(μ-tmt-Bu)2Cl2]·CH3CN (2) at different reaction time. The single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis was carried out for 1 and 2 {Bruker Kappa Apex-II CCD diffractometer, MoKα radiation}. Crystal data for 1: orthorhombic P212121 unit cell a = 8.195(6) Å, b = 13.778(10) Å, c = 17.354(11) Å and V = 1960(2) Å3 whereas the compound 2 crystallizes in monoclinic system P21/c with unit cell a = 10.069(7) Å, b = 11.181(7) Å, c = 18.156 Å, β = 95.322(4)° and V = 2035.4(2) Å3. The complex 1 contains one dimensional chain running along the a-axis and the complex 2 contains one dimensional chain running along the b-axis due to existence of different types of intermolecular interaction. The change in structure of the product is directly related to the reaction time i.e. reaction for lesser time produces mononuclear product and for longer time produces binuclear compound.

Copper(I) Complex [Cu(ca2dapte)(NCS)] with the Flexible N2S2 Schiff-base Tridentate Ligand: Synthesis, Characterization and Crystal Structure

Abstract  
New copper(I) complex involving the flexible N2S2 Schiff-base ligand ca2dapte [Cu(ca2dapte)(NCS)], [ca2dapte = N,N′-bis-(cinnamaldehyde)-1,2-di(o-iminophenylthio)ethane], has been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The coordination polyhedron around the Cu(I) center is best described as a distorted tetrahedron. The flexible N2S2 Schiff-base ligand ca2dapte acts as a tridentate ligand via two S atoms and one N atom, while the NCS- ligand is coordinated to the metal ion through its nitrogen atom. Crystal data: space group P-1, a = 10.7486(7), b = 12.3737(13), c = 12.7578(11) Å, α = 89.385(7), β = 68.527(7), γ = 66.190(8)°; V = 1425.8(2) Å3, Z = 2, R = 0.0417, wR 2 = 0.0744.

Two Metal Complexes Supported by VO3nn− Chains: Hydrothermal Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [M(dpa)V2O6] (M = Zn(II) and Cu(II); dpa = 2,2′-dipyridylamine)

Abstract  
Two new metal complexes supported by {VO3}n n− chains, [M(dpa)V2O6] (1, M = Zn2+; 2·H2O, M = Cu2+; dpa = 2,2′-dipyridylamine), have been synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by elemental analysis, TG analysis, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystal data: [Zn(dpa)V2O6] 1, Triclinic, P-1, a = 9.663(7) Å, b = 10.617(7) Å, c = 15.114(10) Å, α = 105.678(10)°, β = 104.772(9)°, γ = 94.021(10)°, Z = 2; [Cu(dpa)V2O6]·H2O 2·H2O, Monoclinic, C2, a = 20.543(3) Å, b = 7.2460(9) Å, c = 10.4853(13) Å, β = 111.318(2)°, Z = 4. Complex 1 is constructed from sinusoidal {VO3}n n− chains with {Zn(dpa)}2+ fragments spanning the adjacent troughs and crests into an 1D ribbon-like structure. Complex 2 is built up by linking {VO3}n n− chains via pairs of symmetrical {Cu(dpa)}2+ fragments into a 2D layered structure. The Zn(II) and Cu(II) ions exhibit tetrahedral and square pyramidal coordination environments, respectively. The formation of the two isomers is attributed to the flexibility of {VO3}n n− chains and the different coordination configurations of the two metal ions. There exist significant π–π stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions in complexes 1 and 2.
Index Abstract  
Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that two new metal complexes, [M(dpa)V2O6] (1, M = Zn2+; 2·H2O, M = Cu2+; dpa = 2,2′-dipyridylamine), are constructed from {VO3}n n− chains and {M(dpa)}2+ fragments into 1D and 2D structures.

Abstract  
Two cocrystals of 2,2′-diamino-4,4′-bis(1,3-thiazole) (DABTZ) with 2,5-bis(4-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-2,4-hexadiene (bpdh) and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylenediamine (bpen) {[(DABTZ)(bpdh)] and [(DABTZ)(bpen)], respectively} have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR-, 1H NMR-, 13C NMR spectroscopy and were studied by thermal analysis and X-ray crystallography. Self-assembly of these compounds in the solid state is likely caused by hydrogen bonding with minor contributions from π–π stacking, C–H···π and possibly charge transfer interactions.

Abstract  
The title compounds C7H8ClN3O2S, (I), and C9H10ClN3O4S2, (II), both crystallize in monoclinic space group P21 /c with unit cell parameters (I) a = 7.9402(7), b = 10.6312(9), c = 11.7626(10), Å, β = 99.271(5)°, Z = 4 and (II) a = 5.1439(2), b = 9.0636(4), c = 27.1814 (7), Å, β = 95.116(2)°, Z = 4. In (I) the molecule consists of a 5-pyridine-4-yl group bonded to the carbon atom at the 5 position of (1, 3, 4) oxadiazole-2 thione hydrochloride monohydrate. The angle between the mean planes of the oxadiazole and pyridine rings is 9.6(6)°. Crystal packing in (I) is stabilized by strong N–H···O hydrogen bonds in concert with a solvent water molecule and weak O–H···Cl, O–H···S, N–H···Cl intermolecular interactions. The crystal structure of compound (II) consists of 4 [5-ethylsulfanyl)-(1, 3, 4) thiadiazole-2-yl]-pyridinium perchlorate, (C9H10N3S2)+(ClO4), cation–anion pairs, containing strong intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonds and weak C–H···O and N–H···O intermolecular interactions operating between the ionic species that form a cooperative hydrogen-bonded, infinite chain O–H···O–H···O–H network which generates a sheet motif structure in the unit cell. It is also supported by weak intermolecular Cg···Cg π–π and Cl–O···Cg π-ring interactions which gives additional support to molecular packing stability in the unit cell. Geometry optimized MOPAC AM1 computational calculations on each compound provides support to the structural features in their respective crystal structures.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Copper(II)–Sodium(I) Coordination Polymer

Abstract  
A new coordination polymer, {[Na2Cu(Ac)4(H2O)]·H2O} n (HAc = acetic acid), has been synthesized and structurally characterized by IR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pccn with a = 16.9076(17) Å, b = 11.8375(12) Å, c = 15.7567(16) Å, V = 3153.6(6) Å3. Four oxygen atoms from different Ac groups coordinate to the copper atom in a square-planar arrangement. Each sodium ion is in a distorted octahedral environment, being coordinated by one aqua ligand and five acetate oxygen atoms from two adjacent [Cu(Ac)4] units. An alternating arrangement of metal ions and bridging acetate ligands results in the formation of two-dimensional sheets which are further linked into a three-dimensional network by the water molecules between the layers through rich hydrogen bonds.

Classification of proton configurations of gas hydrate frameworks

Abstract  
All molecular configurations differing in the position of hydrogen atoms (protons) in hydrogen bonds and satisfying periodic boundary conditions have been calculated for the unit cells of CS-I, HS-III, and TS-IV gas hydrate frameworks. The configurations obtained are ranged according to the number of stronger trans-configurations of hydrogen-bound molecular pairs and according to the type of spatial symmetry. The configuration symmetry was analyzed taking into account the additional antisymmetry operation, which is related to the change in the direction of all hydrogen bonds. The strong dependence of the framework properties on the specific position of protons in H bonds is established.

Electroactive complex in thermally treated Ge-Si 〈Cu, Al〉 crystals

Abstract  
It is shown by Hall measurements that quenching complexly doped Ge1 − x Si x 〈Cu, Al〉 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.20) crystals from 1050–1080 K leads to the formation of additional electroactive acceptor centers in them. The activation energy of these centers increases linearly with an increase in the silicon content in the crystal and is described by the relation E k x = (52 + 320x) meV. Annealing these crystals at 550–570 K removes the additional acceptor levels. It is established that the most likely model for the additional electroactive centers is a pair composed of substituent copper and aluminum atoms (Cu s Al s ) or interstitial copper and substituent aluminum atoms (Cu i Al s ). It is shown that the generation of additional deep acceptor levels must be taken into account when using the method of precise doping of Ge1 − x Si x 〈Al〉 crystals with copper.

Principle of modular crystal structure

Abstract  
The principle of modular crystal structure has been formulated and the possibility of choosing a module of a specified structure type for its subsequent modular design is discussed. The modular characteristics of some structure types based on cubic close packing (fundamental and basic modules and the module that can be used to obtain a certain variety of modular structures related to the initial parent type) are described. Possible ways to obtain such a module and the algorithm for choosing it are considered. A comparative analysis of the theoretically derived module with the modules of experimentally determined modular structures is performed by the example of spinelloids (materials with spinel-like structure).

One-dimensional SnF2 single crystals in the inner channels of single-wall carbon nanotubes: I. Preparation and basic characterization

Abstract  
One-dimensional (1D) SnF2 single crystals have been obtained by crystallization from melt in the inner channels of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). SWCNTs with an inner diameter of 1.02–1.4 nm, synthesized by electric-arc discharge and chemically purified, were used for incorporation. The synthesized 1D SnF2 single crystal-SWCNT composites are basically characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive analysis, electron microscopy, and chemical analysis. The characteristic motifs of tin cation distribution in the SWCNT inner channel confirm the formation of SnF2 single crystals.

Structure of KTiOAsO4 single crystals at 293 and 30 K

Abstract  
The unit cell parameters of KTiOPO4 and KTiOAsO4 single crystals are measured in the temperature range from room temperature to 20 K. It is found that the unit cell volume of the single crystals changes smoothly. With a decrease in temperature, the c parameter remains almost unchanged. In a certain temperature range, the linear temperature dependence of the a and b parameters is violated. An X-ray diffraction study of KTiOAsO4 single crystals is performed at T = 293 and 30 K. With a decrease in temperature, the electron density in the channels of the structure undergoes a redistribution, suggesting that at room temperature the state of the potassium ions is characterized by the dynamic and static disordering. The nonuniformity of the distribution of the electron density at the junctions of TiO6 octahedra and AsO4 tetrahedra is significantly enhanced in relation to that at the corresponding junctions in the KTiOPO4 structure. It has been experimentally established that the geometry of the tetrahedral anions makes a decisive contribution to the nonlinearity of KTiOAsO4 single crystals.

A total of 99.4% of amino-acid residues of the polypeptide chain are in the most favorable, allowable, and accessible regions of the Ramachandran plot. The three-dimensional structures of the complexes of laccase from C. maxima with molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide were determined by the molecular simulation. These data provide insight into the structural aspect of the mechanism of the enzymatic cycle. The structure factors and the refined atomic coordinates were deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB-ID code is 3DIV).

m, a = 0.56057 nm), corresponding to the point of minimum in the melting curve in the CaF2-SrF2 phase diagram, have been grown by the vertical Bridgman method. The optical, mechanical, electrical, and thermophysical properties of Ca0.59Sr0.41F2 and MF2 crystals (M = Ca, Sr) have been studied and comparatively analyzed. Ca0.59Sr0.41F2 crystals are transparent in the range of 0.133–11.5 μm, have refractive index n D = 1.436, microhardness H μ = 2.63 ± 0.10 GPa, ion conductivity σ = 5 × 10−5 S/cm at 825 K, and thermal conductivity k = 4.0 W m−1 K−1 at 300 K. It is shown that the optical properties of Ca0.59Sr0.41F2 crystals are intermediate between those of CaF2 and SrF2, whereas their mechanical and electrical characteristics are better than the latter compounds.

Synthesis, properties, and structure of potassium titanyl phosphate single crystals doped with hafnium

Abstract  
Single crystals of potassium titanyl phosphate doped with hafnium are grown by spontaneous flux crystallization. Their physical properties are studied, and the structure of three KTi1 − x Hf x OPO4 crystals (x = 0.01, 0.03, and 0.12) is determined. In the crystals studied, hafnium mostly occupies the second titanium position. The doping of KTP crystals with hafnium results in an elongation of K-O bonds in the potassium polyhedra and, as a consequence, in a considerable (by approximately 180°C) decrease in the temperature of ferroelectric phase transition. The magnitude of anomalous permittivity substantially decreases. The electrical conduction in the specimens studied decreases by approximately half an order of magnitude in the low-temperature region but remains almost unchanged in the high-temperature region. Even at minor concentrations, the presence of a hafnium additive in the specimens considerably (by 35%) enhances the intensity of the second harmonic generation of laser radiation.

Influence of cholesterol and ceramide VI on the structure of multilamellar lipid membranes at water exchange

Abstract  
The structural changes in the multilamellar lipid membranes of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC)/cholesterol and DPPC/ceramide VI binary systems during hydration and dehydration have been studied by neutron diffraction. The effect of cholesterol and ceramide on the kinetics of water exchange in DPPC membranes is characterized. Compared to pure DPPC, membranes of binary systems swell faster during hydration (with a characteristic time of ∼30 min). Both compounds, ceramide VI and cholesterol, similarly affect the hydration of DPPC membranes, increasing the repeat distance due to the bilayer growth. However, in contrast to cholesterol, ceramide significantly reduces the thickness of the membrane water layer. The introduction of cholesterol into a DPPC membrane slows down the change in the parameters of the bilayer internal structure during dehydration. In the DPPC/ceramide VI/cholesterol ternary system (with a molar cholesterol concentration of 40%), cholesterol is partially released from the lamellar membrane structure into the crystalline phase.

Synthesis and crystal structure of oxonitrate complexes Cs[VO2(NO3)2], Cs[MoO2(NO3)3], and MoO2(NO3)2

Abstract  
Cs[VO2(NO3)2] (I), MoO2(NO3)2 (II), and Cs[MoO2(NO3)3] (III) complexes have been obtained by crystallization from nitric solutions and studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes I and II contain infinite zigzag chains of similar compositions, [VO2(NO3)2] and [MoO2(NO3)2], in which V and Mo atoms form, respectively, trigonal- and pentagonal-bipyramidal polyhedra. Each of these polyhedrons also contains one terminal and two bridge O atoms and two terminal NO3 groups which are monodentate and bidentate in complexes I and II, respectively. Complex III has an island structure and consists of Cs+ cations and [MoO2(NO3)3] anions, in which the Mo atom is surrounded by one bidentate NO3 group and two monodentate NO3 groups and two terminal O atoms in the cis-positions; oxygen atoms form a polyhedron in the form of distorted octahedron. According to the ab initio calculation of isolated MoO2(NO3)2 molecules in the gas phase and solution, the coordination environment of the Mo atom, similarly to the Cr(VI) atom in CrO2(NO3)2, is formed by two bidentate nitrate groups and two terminal O atoms (polyhedron- twisted trigonal prism).

Investigation of the formation of nanowires from silicon whiskers

Abstract  
Nanowires have been prepared by the high-temperature oxidation of Si whiskers. The dependences of the nanowire formation on the oxidation parameters have been investigated. The oxidation rate is shown to depend on the whisker diameter. Oxidation in dry oxygen at temperatures no higher than 950°C results in self-stopping; i.e., the nanowire diameter is stabilized. Stabilization is not observed at oxidation temperatures above 950°C or at oxidation in wet oxygen. Oxidation at higher temperatures made it possible to obtain nanowires ≤5 nm in diameter in relatively thick (up to 200 nm in diameter) whiskers.

Structural studies of the lipid membranes at the Siberia-2 synchrotron radiation source

Abstract  
Lipid membranes are a subject of contemporary interdisciplinary studies at the junction of biology, biophysics, pharmacology, and bionanotechnology. The results of the structural studies of several types of lipid membranes by the lamellar and lateral diffraction of X-ray synchrotron radiation are presented. The experiments were performed at the Mediana and DICSI stations of the Siberia-2 synchrotron radiation source at the Russian Research Center Kurchatov Institute. The data obtained are compared with the results of studying lipid membranes at the small-angle scattering beamlines D22 and D24 at LURE (France) and at the A2 beamline at DESY (Germany). The parameters of the DICSI station are shown to meet the basic requirements for the structural study of lipid systems, which are of fundamental and applied interest.

Thermodynamic analysis of the W-Al2O3 system near the melting temperature of Al2O3: II. Chemical interactions at 1 × 10−5 bar

Abstract  
The W-Al2O3 system is considered at a basic component ratio of 1: 1. The composition and component concentrations in the closed system under isobaric-isothermal conditions and a residual pressure of 1 × 10−5 bar are determined by stochastic simulation and the minimization of the Gibbs free energy. The basic chemical reactions leading to tungsten oxidation near the Al2O3 melting temperature are determined, and the possibilities of their occurrence are calculated. Understanding the behavior of the system under these conditions allows one to stabilize the conditions for growing leucosapphire crystals from melt.

Structural transitions of nematics upon interaction of coherent acoustic waves

Abstract  
The features of the structural transition of homeotropically oriented nematic liquid crystal (NLC) upon the interaction of coherent longitudinal and shear waves in a cell with acoustically soft boundary conditions at the ends for the frequency range, where the viscous wavelength is smaller and the elastic wavelength in NLC is larger than the mesophase layer thickness, have been experimentally investigated. The data obtained are analyzed within a model developed for this problem geometry based on a hypothesis postulating the flow mechanism of the orientational effect of ultrasound on NLC.

Ferroelectric triglycine sulphate crystals with a profile distribution of chromium impurity

Abstract  
Some features of the ferroelectric behavior of triglycine sulphate crystals with a nonuniform distribution of chromium impurity have been considered. The dielectric hysteresis loop of the samples is characterized by a large shift along both the polarization axis and the electric field direction. The results are explained well within the phenomenological approach with allowance for the gradient term in the expansion of free energy. It is established that the unipolarity coefficient and pyroelectric signal of inhomogeneous crystals barely changes during multiple heating-cooling cycles.

Electrophysical properties of LiYbF4 crystals

Abstract  
Nominally pure LiYbF4 crystals have been grown by vertically directed crystallization in a fluorinating atmosphere. Their electric conductivity was studied by measuring the complex impedance in the temperature range of 479–825 K. The ionic conductivity is 1.4 × 10−6 S/cm at 573 K. The temperature dependence of the electric conductivity has two ranges, with activation energies of 0.73 ± 0.02 eV (409–580 K) and 0.42 ± 0.02 eV (580–825 K). Our results are discussed using the model of hopping conductivity for ionic crystals.

Relationship between the lengths of covalent and intermolecular bonds in X-H...Y bridges

Abstract  
The formula exp(−ln2((r XHr 0 XH)/(r sym XHr 0 XH))5/3) + exp(−ln2((r YHr 0 YH)/(r sym YHr 0 YH))5/3) = 1 is proposed, which relates the lengths of both covalent and hydrogen bonds in homo- and heterobridges. This formula is justified by the experimental data from the CSD bank, which was obtained by neutron diffraction for 108 O-H...N hydrogen bridges with bond angles exceeding 170°.

On symmetry of sillenites

Abstract  
A precise X-ray diffraction study of a sillenite crystal with the initial composition Bi24(Si x Mn1−x )2O40 grown by the hydrothermal method showed the presence of diffraction reflections that make it possible to assign this crystal to the sp. gr. P23, in contrast to the Bi24Si2O40 crystal with the sp. gr. I23. The distribution of cations over the two positions of the crystal structure of the general composition Bi24(Bi0.130(3)Si0.277(3)Mn1.593(3))O40 with three atoms (Bi, Si, Mn) in one position of the sp. gr. P 23 is established. The disymmetrization of the Bi24(Bi, Si, Mn)2O40 crystal is explained by the kinetic order-disorder phase transition, which is caused by the presence of several atoms with different crystallochemical properties in one crystallographic position of the structure, in contrast to the Bi24Si2O40 crystal, where this phenomenon is absent.

Reflection spectra of NaClO3, NaBrO3, and LiIO3 gyrotropic crystals in the vacuum UV region

Abstract  
The reflection spectra in the fundamental-absorption region, 5–25 eV (250–40 nm), of optically active crystals with cubic symmetry (NaClO3, NaBrO3) and uniaxial optically active crystal (LiIO3) have been investigated. It is shown that the reflection spectra of cubic crystals have a similar structure, which is determined by the electronic transitions in the XO3 group. The comparison of these spectra with the corresponding spectrum of lithium iodide made it possible to determine the type of transition in the spectra of cubic crystals. Using the projection operator method, it was shown that the sign of optical rotation of cubic crystals with symmetry T is independent of the screw axis sign. Possible reasons for the unprecedentedy large optical rotation of lithium iodide crystal in the optical axis direction are considered.

Crystal structure of Rb2[Ti(VO2)3(PO4)3]

Abstract  
The crystal structure of the new compound Rb2[Ti(VO2)3(PO4)3] obtained by hydrothermal synthesis in the RbCl-TiPO4-V2O5-B2O3-H2O system (a = 13.604(2) Å, c = 9.386(2) Å, sp. gr. P6cc, Z = 4, ρcalcd = 3.32 g/cm3) has been studied by X-ray diffraction (Xcalibur-S-CCD diffractometer, R = 0.038). It is shown that the isotypism of Rb2[Ti(VO2)3(PO4)3] and Cs2[Ti(VO2)3(PO4)3] is caused by the flexibility of a mixed anionic framework composed of phosphorus tetrahedra, vanadium five-vertex polyhedra, and titanium octahedra (bases of the crystal structures of these compounds). The topological correlations between the structures of titanium-vanadyl phosphates and benitoite and beryl silicates are analyzed.

The interatomic vector’s method, algorithms, and programs for the solution of atomic structure of nanoclusters in crystal

Abstract  
A calculation technique and corresponding algorithms have been developed using the formalism of Fourier transform of finite functions. A software package for obtaining distributions of cluster interatomic vectors from diffuse X-ray scattering has been written and debugged. The programs were checked on a 30-atom cluster [CdTb3F26]. The attempts to obtain experimental data on a single crystal with nanoclusters using an Xcalibur S diffractometer (Oxford Diffraction) with a coordinate CCD detector were no success. The standard diffractometer software contains errors that lead to incorrect results upon the reconstruction of the distribution of diffuse scattering from different runs. These errors are of little importance when Bragg peaks are processed.

Crystal structure of the metastable cubic βms phase of La2Mo2O9 single crystal at T = 33 K

Abstract  
The structure of the cubic metastable βms phase of La2Mo2O9 single crystal has been precisely investigated by X-ray diffraction at 33 K for the first time. The measurement of the unit-cell parameter of this crystal in the range from room temperature to 33 K showed that the unit-cell parameter and volume change continuously in this range. The crystal has a similar structure at T = 33 K and at room temperature. A local lowering of the symmetry for La and Mo atoms, caused by their displacement, is confirmed, and a similar displacement (which was not observed at room temperature) is revealed for O(1) atoms. The thermal parameters for O(2) and O(3) atoms do not change with a decrease in temperature, in contrast to the thermal parameters of Mo, La, and O(1) atoms. This fact indicates that the O(2) and O3 atoms in this crystal are statically disordered.

Crystal structure of the binary complex of cobalt and zinc chlorides with carbamide [Co(OCN2H4)5(H2O)][ZnCl4]

Abstract  
Mixed single crystals of [Co(OCN2H4)5(H2O)][ZnCl4] were grown by the isothermal evaporation of an aqueous solution. The crystal structure of this complex was established by X-ray diffraction (R = 0.052 based on 7003 reflections). The crystals consist of [Co(OCN2H4)5(H2O)]2+ cations containing Co atoms in an octahedral coordination and [ZnCl4]2−] anions containing Zn atoms in a tetrahedral coordination. The carbamide molecules are involved in both intramolecular and interionic hydrogen bonds. The H2O molecule forms hydrogen bonds with the anions.

Supramolecular hydrogen-bonding networks in cytosine salicylic acid hydrate (2 : 3 : 2) complex

Abstract  
Cytosine-cytosinium base pairs are interconnected by triple hydrogen bonds thereby resembling a pseudo-Watson-Crick pattern and generates two characteristic R 22(8)-motifs. Both molecules of the salicylic acids interconnect the base pair and lead to the formation of one dimensional supramolecular hexameric tape along b-axis. This hexameric tape are sandwiched by the water molecules, one of the salicylic acid and salicylate anion which form one dimensional and two dimensional supramolecular hydrogen bonded networks in the crystal packing. Macrocylic rings of cavities are also noticed in the crystal structure.

Increasing the lasing efficiency in cholesteric liquid-crystal photonic structures

Abstract  
Two types of lasing in cholesteric liquid crystals (LCs) in the range of luminescence of laser dye molecules have been investigated. The first type belongs to the Bragg modes at the photonic band edge, which propagate along the normal to the LC layer. The second type of lasing is related to the modes leaking into the substrate and propagating at small angles to the LC layer. It is shown that the Bragg lasing efficiency can be significantly increased under wide-aperture optical pumping. The method proposed for increasing the lasing efficiency is based on suppressing the excitation of leaky laser modes using partially absorbing thin films as the coatings for LC-orienting substrates. Both experimental results and the theoretical model of the effect using the numerical simulation data are discussed.

Temperature dependence of the crystal-optics characteristics of [N(CH3)4]2ZnCl4:Ni2+ crystals with correlated motion of tetrahedral groups

Abstract  
The optical birefringence, optical indicatrix rotation, and residual intensity have been experimentally investigated in the parent and incommensurate phases of [N(CH3)4]2ZnCl4 crystals doped with Ni2+. The temperature dependences obtained are nonlinear in a wide temperature range (T i − 360 K). It is shown that the nature of this nonlinearity is related to the presence of local spatial regions of the correlated motion of tetrahedral groups. It is established that the deformation of tetrahedral groups increases the temperature range of existence of these regions.

Crystallographic analysis of the structure of livingstonite HgSb4S8 from refined data

Abstract  
An X-ray diffraction study of mineral livingstonite (HgSb4S8) from Khaydarkan (Kyrgyzstan) has been performed on a Bruker Nonius X8Apex diffractometer with a 4K CCD detector (R = 0.031). The unit-cell parameters were found to be a = 30.1543(10) Å, b = 3.9953(2) Å, c = 21.4262(13) Å, β = 104.265(1)°, V = 2501.7(2) Å3, Z = 8, d calcd = 5.013 g/cm3, and sp. gr. A2/a. It was confirmed that livingstonite belongs to rod-layers structures. In one type of layer, two double Sb2S4 chains are bound by disulfide groups [S2]2− (S-S 2.078(2) Å); in the other type, these chains are bound via Hg2+ cations. A crystallographic analysis confirmed the existence of independent pseudotranslational ordering in the cation and anion matrices, which is characteristic of the lozenge-like structures of sulfides and sulfosalts.

Growth and some properties of Ce3+-doped LiYbF4 single crystals

Abstract  
LiYbF4 single crystals, nominally pure and doped with Ce3+ ions, of optical quality and up to 60 mm in diameter, have been grown by vertical directed crystallization. The optical and mechanical properties of the crystals have been studied. The refractive index dispersion for LiYbF4 in the range of 0.4–0.6 μm can be described by the dependence n 2(λ) − 1 = Aλ2/(λ2λ 02), where A = 1.14 and 1.21 and λ0 = 0.074 and 0.080 μm for n o and n e, respectively. The sample microhardness exceeds 2.6 GPa. LiYbF4 crystals are transparent in the range of 0.17–9 μm and have an absorption band in the range of 0.9–1.2 μm. It is shown that LiYbF4 crystals doped with Ce3+ ions can be used as optical cut-off UV filters in the operating range λ = 0.25−0.28 μm.

Study of the gel films of Acetobacter Xylinum cellulose and its modified samples by 1H NMR cryoporometry and small-angle X-ray scattering

Abstract  
Gel films of Acetobacter Xylinum cellulose and its modified samples have been investigated by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) cryoporometry and small-angle X-ray scattering. The joint use of these two methods made it possible to characterize the sizes of aqueous pores in gel films and estimate the sizes of structural inhomogeneities before and after the sorption of polyvinylpyrrolidone and Se0 nanoparticles (stabilized by polyvinylpyrrolidone) into the films. According to small-angle X-ray scattering data, the sizes of inhomogeneities in a gel film change only slightly upon the sorption of polyvinylpyrrolidone and nanoparticles. The impregnated material is sorbed into water-filled cavities that are present in the gel film. 1H NMR cryoporometry allowed us to reveal the details of changes in the sizes of small aqueous pores during modifications.

Simulation of ion transport in layered cuprate La2SrCu2O6

Abstract  
Oxygen diffusion in layered cuprate La2SrCu2O6 has been simulated by the molecular dynamics method in the temperature range of 300–2500 K. The lattice is found to transform at temperatures above 1550 K; this transformation is accompanied by a change in the pair correlation functions. The abrupt change in the oxygen diffusion coefficient in the range of 1500–1550 K may indicate the presence of a phase transition to the superionic state. The motion of oxygen anions could be traced at the microscopic level. It has been proven for the first time that the La2SrCu2O6 crystal lattice allows, along with displacements of O1 ions within the CuO2 layer, their migration from the crystallographic positions to the intermediate unoccupied O3 positions. The motion of O2 anions is also fairly complicated: they move not only in their layer over the O2 positions but they also jump to the neighboring layer to occupy the O1 positions. The oxygen diffusion coefficient in layered cuprate La2SrCu2O6 exceeds that in cuprates with perovskite structure and structure of the K2NiF4 type (at the same temperatures), which indicates that this material has good prospects for electrodes with mixed ionic-electronic conductivity.

Thermodynamic analysis of the W-Al2O3 system near the melting temperature of Al2O3. I. Evolution of the system in the pressure range of 1 × 10−1−1 × 10−4 bar

Abstract  
The changes in the main chemical reactions occurring upon the interaction between tungsten and the evaporation products of Al2O3 melt are considered at a fixed temperature (2400 K). The concentrations of the components coexisting in equilibrium in a closed system under isobaric-isothermal conditions are determined by stochastic simulation for low (× 10−1−1 × 10−3 bar) and high (1 × 10−4 bar) vacuum. It is shown that the gas-liquid-solid system is in heterogeneous equilibrium for the basic component ratio W: Al2O3 = 1: 1 in the entire pressure range under consideration. A detailed study of the chemistry of this system should facilitate the choice of the optimal conditions for growing leucosapphire crystals from melt.

Resonant diffraction of synchrotron radiation in rubidium dihydrophosphate crystals

Abstract  
Purely resonant Bragg reflections 006, 5
-
5
 
0, and 666 in a rubidium dihydrophosphate (RbH2PO4) crystal at the K edge of rubidium have been experimentally and theoretically investigated. These reflections remain forbidden when the resonant dipole-dipole (E1E1) contribution to the resonant atomic factor is taken into account; they may be due to the dipole-quadrupole (E1E2) transitions as well as to the anisotropy atomic factor, which is caused by thermal atomic displacements (thermally induced contribution) and/or local jumps of hydrogen atoms. A numerical simulation showed that, at room temperature (experimental conditions), the thermally induced contribution to the “forbidden” reflections is dominant.

Hysteresis of Freedericksz transition in confined light beams

Abstract  
The effect of the transverse confinement of an incident light beam on the hysteresis of light-induced Freedericksz transition in a nematic liquid crystal cell is considered. The thresholds of the orientational instability of the director with an increase and decrease in the light beam’s intensity are calculated numerically in relation to its transverse size. The hysteresis loop width is shown to change nonmonotonically with an increase in the transverse dimension. In contrast to a homogeneous light beam, the hysteresis existence region is determined not only by the parameter (K 3K 1)/K 3 but also by the parameter K 2/K 3. With an increase in the transverse beam size, the critical values of the parameter (K 3K 1)/K 3 increase, while those of the parameter K 2/K 3 decrease.

Specific features of phase transitions and the conduction of La2Mo2O9 oxide-ion conducting compound doped with vanadium

Abstract  
The X-ray powder analysis, calorimetric studies, and conductivity measurements of a series of ceramic La2Mo2−x V x O y specimens with different vanadium content are performed with the aim of following the dynamics of phase formation of the low-temperature α, high-temperature β, and metastable β ms phases. At x ≥ 0.06, the cubic phase becomes stable and the monoclinic phase vanishes; therefore, the main α → β transition is suppressed. According to the data of differential thermal analyses, a weak thermal anomaly is observed in the range 450–470°C at x ≥ 0.06. This anomaly is indicative of the β ms → β transition due to the conversion of the cubic phase with statically disordered oxygen atoms into the cubic phase with dynamic disorder. The conductivity of the high-temperature β phase obeys the Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher law.

X-ray diffraction analysis of multilayer porous InP(001) structure

Abstract  
Multilayer structures composed of four porous bilayers have been studied by high-resolution X-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation, and the photoluminescence of these structures has been investigated at 4 K. The porous structures were formed by anodic oxidation of InP(001) substrates in aqueous HCl solution. The structural parameters of the sublayers were varied by changing the electrochemical etching mode (potentiostatic/galvanostatic). The X-ray scattering intensity maps near the InP 004 reflection are obtained. A model for scattering from such systems is proposed based on the statistical dynamical diffraction theory. Theoretical scattering maps have been fitted to the experimental ones. It is shown that a mathematical analysis of the scattering intensity maps makes it possible to determine the structural parameters of sublayers. The reconstructed parameters (thickness, strain, and porosity of sublayers and the shape and arrangement of pores) are in satisfactory agreement with the scanning electron microscopy data.

Change in the crystal structure of germanium-containing lithiophosphate upon heating

Abstract  
The crystal structure of lithiophosphate with phosphorus atoms partially replaced by germanium, Li3.17(P0.69Ge0.24Mo0.07)O4, at temperatures of 25, 150, 300, 450, and 600°C has been refined by the Rietveld method using powder data. New additional Bragg reflections are observed at T = 600°C, which indicate a change in the crystal structure of this compound.
