The crystals of [WS (CuNCS) ] anion have been isolated from CH ,CI solution and examined by X-ray structural analysis as well as by IR spectroscopy. The unit cell is monoclinic with a= 14.3796(13), b= 18.039(1 I), c= 22.5956(23)& P= 96.053(8)', space group P2,/n (14), Z= 4. The crystal structure was refined by the least-squares calculations to a final R-value of 0.0398(Rw= 0.0443) for 2777 u...

The preparation and characterization of the nBu4N+ salts of two bis-orotate(2-) complexes of cobalt, namely bis(tetra-n-butylammonium) diaquabis(2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-ide-6-carboxylato-κ2N1,O6)cobalt(II) 1.8-hydrate, (C16H36N)2[Co(C5H2N2O4)2(H2O)2]·1.8H2O, (1), and tetra-n-butylammonium (2,2'-bipyridine-κ2N,N')bis(2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-ide-6-carboxylato-κ2N1,...

Noncentrosymmetric potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4 or KDP) in the tetragonal crystal phase is arguably the most extensively studied nonlinear optical crystal in history. It has prolific applications ranging from simple laser pointers to laser inertial confinement fusion systems. Recently, type IV high-pressure KDP crystal sheets with a monoclinic crystal phase having centrosymmetric prop...

The structure of the Escherichia coli response regulator NarL has been solved in a new, monoclinic space group, and compared with the earlier orthorhombic crystal structure. Because the monoclinic crystal has two independent NarL molecules per asymmetric unit, we now have three completely independent snapshots of the NarL molecule: two from the monoclinic form and one from the orthorhombic. Com...

Crystal structure of zwitterionic trimethylammoniopropane sulfonate (Z1-Methyl) was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. Z1-Methyl crystallized in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1), with a = 6.3639(2), b = 10.9237(4), c = 8.1505(4) A, beta = 111.078(2) degrees, V = 528.69(4) A3, Z = 2. An inter-molecular ionic association was observed in the crystal. The shortest distance b...

We report thermo-mechanically responsive and thermochromic behavior in the single crystalline organic semiconductor butoxyphenyl N-substituted naphthalene diimide (BNDI). We show that initially monoclinic single crystals of BNDI undergo a single-crystal to single-crystal transition to a triclinic phase. This transition accompanies large changes in the crystal packing, a visible decrease in crys...

Electromechanical property measurements and microstructure observations using optical microscopy were performed on a [001] c oriented k33 resonator made of 91%Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-9%PbTiO3 single crystal, which was polarized under different electric fields. At room temperature, when the poling field is 1100 V/mm, the electromechanical coupling factor k33 is 0.90 and piezoelectric coefficient d33 is...

In our work, interface synthesis method was put forward to prepare FePO4 with different morphologies, and the effect of morphology on the preparation and electrochemical performance of LiFePO4/C was investigated. The results showed that the morphology of FePO4 was amorphous and monoclinic at the treatment temperatures of 30 °C and 80 °C, respectively. LiFePO4/C prepared from two crystal precurs...
