The structure and phase transition of tris(n-propylammonium) enneachlorodiantimonate (III),
The crystal structure of at 298 K has been determined (monoclinic, space group Cc, a = 19.464(2) ?, b = 17.736(2) ?, c = 8.116(2) ?, , Z = 4). The structure consists of one-dimensional polyanionic chains extended along the c-axis, and n-propylammonium cations located in elongated cavities formed by polyanions. The cations are connected to chlorine atoms by hydrogen bonds. Differential scanning calorimetry, the temperature dependence of the lattice parameters and static electric permittivity studies revealed a first-order phase transition at K of an `order - disorder' type. It is related to the ordering of n-propylammonium cations that occurs on decreasing the temperature. Debye-like dispers…
Structural phase transitions coupled with prominent dielectric anomalies and dielectric relaxation in [(CH3)3NH]2[KCo(CN)6] and mixed [(CH3)3NH]2[KFexCo1−x(CN)6] double perovskite hybrids
The crystals of pure [(CH3)3NH]2[KFe(CN)6] (TrMAFe) and [(CH3)3NH]2[KCo(CN)6] (TrMACo) as well as their mixed crystals (TrMAFexCo1−x), with different ratios of x = 0, 0.12, 0.18, 0.49, 0.56, 0.73, 0.81, 1.0, have been grown from aqueous solutions. The structure of TrMACo has been determined at 360 K to be cubic (Fmm). In phase II (100 K), the TrMACo crystal is monoclinic (C2/c). The thermal stability of the pure and mixed crystals has been determined by using both DTA and TGA. Based on the DSC results, we have found a single phase transition (PT) for both pure and mixed crystals. The Fe(III) concentration was estimated by using the SEM technique. We have found a linear relationship between …
On structural phase transitions in the (C 5 H 12 N) 2 SbCl 5 crystals
Abstract The results of the X-ray (at 295 and 355 K), dilatometric, differential scanning calorimetry and dielectric studies on a new piperidinium crystal, (C5H12N)2SbCl5, are presented. The anionic sublattice of the crystal is built up of infinite (SbCl52−)n chains composed of SbCl63− distorted octahedra connected with each other by corners. In voids of anionic sublattice two crystallographically independent piperidinium cations are located. At 295 K they are both in chair conformation. The compound undergoes three first-order phase transitions at 378.5 K (I→II), 339.5 K (II→III) and 205 K (III→IV). The mechanism of the (II→III) transition (Pna21→P212121) was proposed based on the X-ray da…
The phase situation and ferroelectric properties in the mixed crystals [4-NH2PyH][SbCl4(1−x)Br4x]
Abstract The group of mixed crystals of general formula: [4-APyH][SbCl4(1−x) Br4x] with x ranging from 0 to 1 was studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry, dilatometry and dielectric spectroscopy. The ferroelectric properties are preserved for mixed crystals with replacement fraction, x, less than 0.30. Moreover, such a substitution of the chlorine atoms by the bromine ones significantly lowers the temperature of the structural phase transition shifting it from 240 K for pure [4-APyH][SbCl4] to about 185 K for the mixed crystals richer in bromine. The dielectric relaxation process exhibited by the mixed crystal with x = 0.90 in the radio-frequency region was analyzed and the ac…
Structural characterization, thermal, dielectric and vibrational properties of tris(allylammonium) hexabromoantimonate(III), (C3H5NH3)3SbBr6
Abstract The novel inorganic–organic hybrid material, allylammonium hexabromoantimonate(III), (C3H5NH3)3SbBr6, has been synthesized and its structure has been determined by means of the single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies at five temperatures (273, 248, 220, 170 and 100 K). At room temperature the compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group, C2/m. Its crystal structure is composed of the discrete SbBr 6 3 - anions and three non-equivalent allylammonium, (C3H5NH3)+, cations. In (C3H5NH3)3SbBr6 three solid–solid structural phase transitions are detected: a continuous one at 260/256 K (on heating–cooling) from phase I to II, a discontinuous one at 227/208 K (II→III) and another di…
Crystal structure, phase transition and ferroelectric properties of the [(CH3)3NH]3[Sb2Cl9(1 x)Br9x] (TMACBA) mixed crystals
The paraelectric–ferroelectric phase transition in the [(CH3)3NH]3[Sb2Cl9(1−x) Br9x] (TMACBA) mixed crystals is investigated by the differential scanning calorimetry, dilatometric and dielectric methods. The phase transition is found at 363.5, 362.7, 360.5 and 350.9 K (on cooling) for TMACBA crystals with x = 0, 0.02, 0.17 and 0.42, respectively. The crystal structures of the pure bromine analogue (x = 1), TMABA, and the mixed crystal TMACBA (x = 0.55) are determined at 297 K. TMABA crystallizes in the trigonal space group Rc: a = 15.098(2) A, c = 21.906(4) A, Z = 3, R1 = 0.0393, wR2 = 0.0746.

Isostructural phase transition, quasielastic neutron scattering and magnetic resonance studies of a bistable dielectric ion-pair crystal [(CH3)2NH2]2KCr(CN)6
We have synthesised and characterised a novel organic–inorganic hybrid crystal, [(CH3)2NH2]2KCr(CN)6. The thermal DSC, TMA, DTG and DTA analyses indicate two solid-to-solid structural phase transitions (PTs). According to the X-ray diffraction experiments, the first PT at 220 K is isostructural, since it does not involve a change of the space group. This transition occurs between the states, where the (CH3)2NH2+ cations are orientationally disordered and ordered (frozen). The other reversible PT at 481 K leads to a melt-like phase similar to the one observed in plastic crystals or polar liquids. Dielectric spectroscopy has been used to characterise the switching properties of the dipole mom…

The crystal structures of [C(NH2)3]3[Sb2Br9] (Gu3Sb2Br9) at 300 K and of [C(NH2)3]3[Sb2Cl9] (Gu3Sb2Cl9) at 90 and 300 K are determined. The compounds crystallize in the monoclinic space group: C 2/c. The structure is composed of Sb2X93− (X = Cl, Br) ions, which form two-dimensional layers through the crystal, and guanidinium cations. In Gu3Sb2Br9 the structural phase transformation of the first-order type is detected at 435/450 K (on cooling/heating) by the DSC and dilatometric techniques. The dielectric relaxation process in the frequency range between 75 kHz and 5 MHz over the low temperature phase indicates reorientations of weakly distorted guanidinium cations. The proton 1H NMR second-…
On structural phase transitions in piperidinium halogenoantimonates(III) and bismuthates(III): X-ray, calorimetric, dilatometric, dielectric and Raman studies
Abstract Three piperidinium analogues: (C5H10NH2)2BiCl5, (C5H10NH2)2BiBr5 and (C5H10NH2)2SbBr5 have been studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry, thermal expansion, dielectric and Raman scattering techniques. Each piperidinium salt undergoes one high-temperature structural phase transition, which has been classified as an “order–disorder” type. All transitions are connected with onset of reorientational motion of the organic cations. The X-ray studies on (C5H10NH2)2BiCl5 show that it crystallises in orthorhombic Pna21 space group. The structure has been refined to R=0.0336. It consists of one-dimensional (BiCl52−)n polyanionic chains and two non-equivalent piperidinium cations…
Crystal structure and dielectric properties of the [(CH3)2NH2]3Sb2(1-x)Bi2xCl9(DMACAB) mixed crystals
Phase transitions in [(CH3)2NH2]3Sb2(1-x)Bi2xCl9 (DMACAB) mixed salts in the composition range 0≤x≤0.41 have been investigated by the pyroelectric method and dielectric measurements over the frequency range from 75 kHz to 900 MHz. The phase situation is additionally confirmed by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dilatometric techniques. A transition from the paraelectric (PE) to the ferroelectric (FE) phase is observed for crystals with 0≤x≤0.14. Pyroelectric measurements support the presence of polar phases. The dynamic dielectric behaviour of ferroelectric systems is found to be determined by the existence of two independent relaxators. The low-frequency relaxator reveals a …
PHASE TRANSITIONS IN HALOGENOANTIMONATE(V) CRYSTALS: [N(CH3)4]SbCl6 AND [N(C2H5)4]SbCl6
Abstract New crystals of the family of alkylammonium chloroantimonates(V), [N(CH 3 ) 4 ]SbCl 6 and [N(C 2 H 5 ) 4 ]SbCl 6 , have been grown and systematically studied. X-ray studies show that [N(C 2 H 5 ) 4 ]SbCl 6 is composed of isolated cations and ideal SbCl 6 − octahedra. Differential scanning calorimetry, dilatometric and dielectric measurements reveal structural phase transitions in [N(CH 3 ) 4 ]SbCl 6 and [N(C 2 H 5 ) 4 ]SbCl 6 of first order at 236 and 345 K, respectively. The measurements of 1 H-NMR spin-lattice relaxation times, T 1 , show that mechanism of the phase transitions in [N(CH 3 ) 4 ]SbCl 6 and [N(C 2 H 5 ) 4 ]SbCl 6 is due to the reorientations of the tetraalkylammoniu…
The structure and phase transition of mixed crystals
The phase transition and molecular motions of methylammonium cations are studied in the temperature range from 110 to 450 K in the (x = 0.22, 0.345) (MACAB) crystal by x-ray DSC, dilatometric, dielectric and NMR techniques. It is shown that MACAB (x = 0.22) undergoes a structural phase transition at 222 K. The second moment of the NMR line () and the temperature dependence of spin lattice relaxation time () results are interpreted in terms of ( ion dynamics. In the high-temperature phase (I) the cations undergo isotropic reorientations. In the low-temperature phase (II) only one of three cations is still disordered, whereas the two others perform a type of reorientation about their C - N ax…

Cyano-bridged perovskite [(CH3)3NOH]2[KM(CN)6],[M: Fe(III), Co(III)] for high-temperature multi-axial ferroelectric applications with enhanced thermal and nonlinear optical performance
Highly stable ferroelectrics with reversible high-temperature phase transitions and switchable nonlinear optical behaviour are much coveted targets for emerging optoelectronic applications. Here, we demonstrate a cyano-bridged perovskite [(CH3)3NOH]2[KCo(CN)6] (TMAO-Co), a new analogue of the multi-axial ferroelectric [(CH3)3NOH]2[KFe(CN)6] (TMAO-Fe) with improved thermal stability and enhanced second-order nonlinear optical response. Indeed, for TMAO-Co the Curie temperature (Tc) is shifted to a higher value of ca. 416 K (improvement by ca. 10 K versusTMAO-Fe); the separation between Tc and the decomposition threshold is 46 K. TMAO-Co is a biaxial ferroelectric as revealed by P(E) hysteres…

Abstract The crystal structure of ( i -C 4 H 9 NH 3 ) 3 Bi 2 Br 9 at room temperature has been determined and refined to R =0.036. The crystal is orthorhombic, space group Ama 2. The structure is built up of the i -butylammonium cations and isolated Bi 2 Br 9 3− anions. The complex dielectric permittivity along the a -axis has been measured between 500 Hz and 1000 MHz in the vicinity of two phase transitions at 252 and 263 K. The dielectric response close to 252 K is well described by the Debye equation. The activation energy of the reorientation of the i -butylammonium cations is found to be 0.68 eV. The temperature dependencies of the proton relaxation time T 1 and of the second moment of…
Structure and phase transitions in guanidinium halogenobismuthates(III)
Abstract Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dilatometric and dielectric measurements have been used to study the phase transitions in [C(NH2)3]3BiBr6. The [C(NH2)3]3BiBr6 crystal undergoes four phase transitions: at 419, 429, 475 and 495 K (on heating). The high-temperature phase transition is clearly of first-order type and its high entropy effect allows classifying it as of the order–disorder type. X-ray diffraction studies showed that [C(NH2)3]3BiBr6 crystallises in monoclinic, centrosymmetric space group, C2/c. The anionic sublattice is composed of isolated BiBr63− octahedra. The infrared between 100 and 350 K and Raman spectra at room temperature in the frequency range related to…
Structure and phase transitions in the ferroelastic [C(NH2)3]3Bi2Br9crystal
Differential scanning calorimetry, dilatometric, dielectric and linear birefringence measurements have been used to study the ferroelastic [C(NH2)3]3Bi2Br9 crystal. The x-ray studies showed that it crystallizes at room temperature in the monoclinic symmetry, space group P21/m. The crystal undergoes a complex sequence of phase transitions: at 311 K, 333.5 K, 350 K, 415 K and 425 K. All phase transitions were found to be of first order type. The ferroelastic domain structure is maintained from room temperature up to 425 K. The temperature measurements of the linear birefringence and optical observations suggest the tetragonal symmetry of the parent paraelastic phase above 425 K.

Phase transitions in i-butylammonium halogenoantimonate(III) and bismuthate(III) crystals
Abstract Differential scanning calorimetry, dielectric, thermal expansion, infrared and preliminary X-ray diffraction studies on i-butylammonium halogenoantimonate(III) and bismuthate(III) crystals are reported. All crystals: (i-C4H9NH3)2BiCl5, (i-C4H9NH3)2SbBr5, (i-C4H9NH3)3BiCl6, (i-C4H9NH3)3Bi2Br9, (i-C4H9NH3)3Sb2Br9, show one or more structural phase transitions of first order type. The values of the transition entropies suggest that the most of the phase transitions are of the order-disorder type. The infrared studies confirmed the contribution of the i-butylammonium cations in the phase transition mechanism.
Structural characterization, thermal, dielectric, vibrational properties and molecular dynamics of (C5H5NH)3BiCl6
Abstract (C5H5NH)3BiCl6 crystallizes at room temperature in the triclinic space group P 1 ¯ . The crystal is built up of the separated BiCl 6 3 - octahedral anions and pyridinium cations. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dilatometric measurements disclose structural phase transition of first-order type at 265/302 K (cooling/heating). The dielectric investigations reveal a step-wise change of the electric permittivity at Tc characteristic of the crystals with the high-temperature plastic-like phase. Temperature-dependent infrared spectra for polycrystalline samples have been taken between 20 and 306 K to clarify the cation dynamics contribution to the mechanism of the phase transi…
