Figure 7
The superposition of (012) layers of (Ib) and (II), presented to illustrate the sliding of the layers during the enantiotropic phase transition of HFPD. Basal layers (not shown here) were overlayed to yield an r.m.s. deviation of 0.16 Å for respective pairs of O atoms. A composite image is shown, containing (012) layers for (Ib) and (II) above the basal layer, with the [100] axis horizontal and the [01] axis vertical. Molecules of form (Ib) are drawn with dashed bonds and molecules of form (II) are drawn with solid bonds. Each layer slides 1.83 (5) Å along the [01] axis in the (012) plane, based on the translation of respective pairs of O atoms in forms (Ib) and (II). |
