Orientational disorder and phase transitions in crystals of (NH₄)₂NbOF₅

A. A. Udovenko and N. M. Laptash

Synopsis: Structural phase transitions in a crystal of (NH₄)₂NbOF₅ are the consequence of dynamic changes in its structural units as the temperature decreases. Using X-ray diffraction, it is possible to identify O and F atoms in the disordered structure of (NH₄)₂NbOF₅ as a result of its dynamic nature.

Polymorphism in cyclohexanol

R. M. Ibberson, S. Parsons, D. R. Allan and A. M. T. Bell

Synopsis: The crystal structures of phase II and the metastable phases III' and III of cyclohexanol, C₆H₁₁OH, have been determined using high-resolution neutron powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Phase II crystallizes in a tetragonal structure, space group $P\bar 42_1c$ , characterized by a hydrogen-bonded tetrameric ring motif. Phases III' and III are monoclinic, space groups P2₁/c and Pc, respectively, with molecules linked via hydrogen-bonded chains.

N⁶-Substituted 2-amino-4-chloro-5-formylpyrimidines: puckered versus planar pyrimidine rings, and hydrogen-bonded aggregation in zero, one, two and three dimensions

J. Cobo, J. Trilleras, J. Quiroga, A. Marchal, M. Nogueras, J. N. Low and C. Glidewell

Synopsis: In N⁶-substituted 2-amino-4-chloro-5-formylpyrimidines, with three adjacent substituents on the pyrimidine ring, this ring can be planar or else puckered towards boat, screw-boat or twist-boat conformations. The supramolecular aggregation is dominated by N-HN hydrogen bonds and the resulting hydrogen-bonded structures can be finite (zero-dimensional) or one-, two- or three-dimensional.

J. Trilleras, J. Quiroga, J. Cobo, A. Marchal, M. Nogueras, J. N. Low and C. Glidewell

Synopsis: N⁴-substituted 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6-diamines can crystallize either in anhydrous form or as stoichiometric hemihydrates or monohydrates, and the hydrogen-bonded structures they form may be either two- or three-dimensional. Those examples which crystallize as hemihydrates adopt very similar supramolecular structures despite a wide diversity of N⁴-substituents and space groups.

Polymorphism of urea-barbituric acid co-crystals

M. Gryl, A. Krawczuk and K. Stadnicka

Synopsis: The existence of different polymorphs for urea and barbituric acid co-crystals is explained on the basis of the resonance properties of barbituric acid (mesomeric effect). Higher-level graph-set analysis revealed a specific behaviour of the hydrogen-bond systems responsible for the mutual spatial arrangement of the structural components in the polymorphs.

A. G. Beasley, T. R. Welberry, D. J. Goossens and A. P. Heerdegen

Synopsis: Strong and highly structured diffuse scattering has been observed for form (II) of the trimorphic molecular system p-(N-methylbenzylidene)-p-methylaniline. Analysis using Monte Carlo simulation techniques has revealed highly correlated molecular motions, suggesting possible mechanisms for the transformation to the other polymorphs.
