(a) Detailed view of the interlocking interaction along b between glipizide molecules. The repulsion at (ii) is greater than that at (i) and leads to a negative contribution to the thermal expansion along b. (b) Schematic of a standard intermolecular potential, leading to positive thermal expansion. (c) Schematic of a possible intermolecular potential for term 2, leading to negative thermal expansion. For (b) and (c), the temperature T1 is less than T2. |
