Preparation and crystallographic characterization of crystalline modifications of 3,4:9,10‐perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride at room temperature

3,4:9,10‐Perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) powder obtained from Sigma‐Aldrich was purified by three cycles of temperature gradient sublimation in an evacuated quartz glass tube providing variable conditions. By means of X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, a crystallographic characterization of the powders obtained during the sublimation process and selected single crystals was carried out evidencing the presence of a major α‐ and a minor β‐PTCDA component in all samples. Lattice parameters of high precision were obtained for α‐PTCDA (a = 3.73283(4) Å, b = 12.0328(6) Å, c = 17.3998(4) Å, β = 98.689(2)°, V = 772.57(4) ų and d₁₀₂ = 3.219(3) Å) by whole‐X‐ray‐powder‐pattern‐fitting of the experimental XRD pattern using the Le Bail approach. Employing a (001) KCl wafer as substrate for the material purification results in formation of single phase α‐PTCDA accompanied by a decrease in the size of the crystallites which is attributed to the presumed lower temperature of the KCl wafers.

Crystal structure,thermal and compositional deformations of β‐CsB5O8

The crystal structure of β‐CsB₅O₈ has been determined from X‐ray powder diffraction data using synchrotron radiation: Pbca, a = 7.8131(3) Å, b = 12.0652(4) Å, c = 14.9582(4) Å, Z = 8, ρ_calc = 2.967 g/cm³, R‐p = 0.076, R‐wp = 0.094. β‐CsB₅O₈ was found to be isostructural with β‐KB₅O₈ and β‐RbB₅O₈.

The crystal structure exhibits a highly anisotropic thermal expansion: α_a = 53, α_b = 16, α_c = 14 · 10^‐6/K; the anisotropy may be caused by partial straightening of the screw chains of the pentaborate groups. The similarity of the thermal and compositional (Cs‐Rb‐K substitution) deformations of CsB₅O₈ is revealed: increasing the radius of the metal by 0.01 Å leads to the same deformations of the crystal structure as increasing the temperature by 35°C.
