Plastic deformation of selenium single crystals ina glide and X-ray observation of the induced substructure

1976

In the plastic deformation of trigonal selenium, a glide in the prismatic planes {1010} is found to be thermally activated, as in tellurium. The activation parameters are determined and a value for the maximum activation energy ΔGmax ≈ (0.6 ± 0.1) eV is obtained. The elastic limit increases up to σ ≈ 100 N mm−2 at low temperatures while it is only σ ≈ 1 N mm−2 at room temperature, i.e. in the athermal region. The deformation induced dislocation substructure is studied by X-ray reflection topography at different temperatures from 77 to 300 K in melt-grown single crystals. It is found that glide polygonization occurs forming rough tilt subgrain boundaries in the prismatic planes. In the ather…

Spin crossover in iron(II) tris(2-(2′-pyridyl)benzimidazole) complex monitored by variable temperature methods: synchrotron powder diffraction, DSC, …

2003

Abstract The thermal expansion of the spin crossover system [Fe(pybzim) 3 ](ClO 4 ) 2  · H 2 O (pybzim=2-(2 ′ -pyridyl)benzimidazole) has been determined from powder X-ray data between 50 and 250 K; the wavelength of the synchrotron source was 1.21888(1) A. The unit cell parameters of the triclinic crystal system were a =12.091 A, b =12.225 A, c =14.083 A, α =77.70°, β =80.35°, γ =74.35°, and V =1944.9 A 3 at 250 K. In addition to the linear thermal expansion of the unit cell volume, an extra expansion due to the low-spin (LS) to high-spin (HS) transition is observed. The V ( T ) function shows a sudden increase comparable with the step in the effective magnetic moment at the transition reg…

A self-assembled tetrameric water cluster stabilized by the hexachlororhenate(IV) anion and diprotonated 2,2′-biimidazole: X-ray structure and magnet…

2008

A self-assembled tetrameric water cluster stabilized by [ReCl6]2− anions and [H4biim]2+ cations occurs in the new compound [H4biim][ReCl6]·4H2O, which exhibits a weak ferromagnetic coupling between the Re(IV) centers through an unusual ReIV–Cl⋯(H2O)⋯Cl–ReIV pathway.

Syntheses, X-ray structures, and redox behaviour of the group 14 bis-boraamidinates M[PhB(μ-N-t-Bu)2]2 (M = Ge, Sn) and Li2M[PhB(μ-N-t-Bu)2]2 (M = Sn…

2009

The solid-state structures of the complexes M[PhB(μ-N-t-Bu)2]2 (1a, M= Ge; 1b, M = Sn) were determined to be spirocyclic with two orthogonal boraamidinate (bam) ligands N,N′-chelated to the group 14 centre. Oxidation of 1b with SO2Cl2 afforded the thermally unstable, blue radical cation {Sn[PhB(μ-N-t-Bu)2]2}•+, identified by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, whereas the germanium analogue 1a was inert towards SO2Cl2. The reaction between Li2[PhB(μ-N-t-Bu)2]2 and SnCl2 or PbI2 in 2:1 molar ratio in diethyl ether produced the novel heterotrimetallic complexes Li2Sn[PhB(μ-N-t-Bu)2]2 (2b) and (Et2O·Li)LiPb[PhB(μ-N-t-Bu…

N-[2-(2,2-Di­methyl­propanamido)­pyrimidin-4-yl]-2,2-di­methyl­propanamide n-hexane 0.25-solvate hemihydrate

2013

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C14H22N4O2·0.25C6H14·0.5H2O, contains two independent molecules of 2,4-bis(pivaloylamino)pyrimidine (M) with similar conformations, one water molecule and one-halfn-hexane solvent molecule situated on an inversion center. In one independentMmolecule, one of the twotert-butyl groups is rotationally disordered between two orientations in a 3:2 ratio. Then-hexane solvent molecule is disordered between two conformations in the same ratio. The water molecule bridges two independentMmoleculesviaO—H...O, N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds into a 2M·H2O unit, and these units are further linked by N—H...N hydrogen bonds into chains running in the [010] dire…

Unravelling the fine structure of stacked bipyridine diamine-derived C-3-discotics as determined by X-ray diffraction, quantum-chemical calculations,…

2011

An in depth investigation of the fine structure adopted by the helical stacks of C3-discotics 1 incorporating three 3,3'-diamino-2,2'-bipyridine units is described. In the bulk the molecules display liquid crystalline behaviour in a temperature window of >300 K and an ordered rectangular columnar mesophase (Colro) with an inter-disc distance of 3.4 Å is assigned. X-Ray diffraction on aligned samples has also revealed a helical superstructure in the liquid crystalline state, and a rotation angle of 13–16° between consecutive discs. The proposed superstructure in the bulk phase has been further substantiated by a combination of quantum-chemical calculations and solid-state NMR spectroscopy…

Structural properties of phosphatidylcholine in a monolayer at the air/water interface

1991

Neutron reflectivities of phosphatidylcholine monolayers in the liquid condensed (LC) phase on ultrapure H 2 O and D 2 O subphases have been measured on a Langmuir film balance. Using a dedicated liquid surface reflectometer, reflectivities down to R = 10 -6 in the momentum transfer range Q z = 0–0.4A -1 were accessed. In a new approach, by refining neutron reflectivity data from chain-perdeuterated DPPC-d 62 in combination with x-ray measurements on the same monolayer under similar conditions it is shown that the two techniques mutually complement one another. This analysis leads to a detailed conception of the interface structure. It is found that in the LC phase (which is analogous to th…

Detailed study of defects in thin fullerite films

2012

The structural investigations of fullerite films were performed using high-resolution electron microscopy, electron diffraction and electron energy loss spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In particular defects such as dislocations, stacking faults and twins were studied in details. It was shown that fullerite films could be characterized by a face-centered cubic (f.c.c.) structure with lattice parameter a = 1.416 nm. They are distinguished for their rich polytypic structure that is caused by breaking of alteration of closely packed planes of (111) type. The quantitative method based on information theory using the “run-length encoding” algorithm was suggested to evaluate the…
