The Homogeneity Range of Crystalline Tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)gallium

An experimental procedure has been developed for constructing p _i –T diagrams (partial vapor pressure of the ligand-forming component–temperature) for luminescent metal complexes with symmetric organic ligands. The partial 8-hydroxyquinoline vapor pressure–temperature diagram has been constructed for tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)gallium electrophosphor (Gaq₃) in the temperature range 300–617 K at 8-hydroxyquinoline vapor pressures 10^–3–10⁴ Pa, where the homogeneity ranges of different Gaq₃ polymorphs have been determined. Structure-sensitive properties of crystalline materials can be tailored by changing synthesis conditions within the homogeneity range of a phase.     

Crystal structures and properties of isomers of 3,5-dinitro-(4-acetylphenyl)aminobenzoyl (p-bromophenyl)amide

The para and ortho isomers of 3,5-dinitro-(4-acetylphenyl)aminobenzoyl (p-bromophenyl)amide (I and II, respectively) are synthesized, and their physicochemical properties and structure are investigated. The para isomer I has a higher melting temperature and is less soluble in organic solvents as compared to the ortho isomer II. The electronic absorption spectra indicate that absorption for molecule I occurs at longer wavelengths than for molecule II. A correlation between the physicochemical properties and the crystal structures of compounds I and II is revealed. Crystals I · 0.5C₆H₆ are triclinic; the unit cell parameters are a = 11.760(2) Å, b = 13.958(3) Å, c = 15.012(3) Å, α = 108.01(2)°, β = 103.95(1)°, γ = 92.00(2)°, V = 2258.3(8) ų, space group $P\bar 1$ , and Z = 4. Crystals II are monoclinic; the unit cell parameters are a = 9.302(2) Å, b = 16.380(3) Å, c = 13.480(3) Å, β = 100.09(3)°, V = 2022.1(7) ų, space group P2₁/c, and Z = 4. Structures I · 0.5C₆H₆ and II are characterized by intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds.     

Di-hydroxybenzenes: Catechol, resorcinol, and hydroquinone: Enthalpies of phase transitions revisited

Molar enthalpies of sublimation of 1,2-di-hydroxybenzene, 1,3-di-hydroxybenzene, and 1,4-di-hydroxybenzene were obtained from the temperature dependence of the vapor pressure measured by the transpiration method. The molar enthalpies of fusion of 1,2- and 1,4-isomers were measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A large number of the primary experimental results on the temperature dependences of vapor pressure and phase transitions have been collected from the literature and have been treated in a uniform manner in order to derive sublimation, vaporization and fusion enthalpies of di-hydroxybenzenes at the reference temperature 298.15 K. The data sets on phase transitions were checked for internal consistency. This collection together with the new experimental results reported here has helped to resolve contradictions in the available thermochemical data and to recommend consistent and reliable sublimation, vaporization and fusion enthalpies for all three isomers under study.     

19F and203,205Tl NMR and structural transformations in chain ammonium and thallium hexafluorozirconates and hexafluorohafnates

Unusual structural transformations were observed in ammonium and thallium hexafluorozirconates and hexafluorohafnates at 300–420 K using high-resolution NMR for solids. It was established that at 300–350 K the initial chain structure of these compounds of orthorhombic symmetry undergoes a transition to disordered state, and at higher temperatures it is transformed into an ordered uniaxial structure which is similar to that of trigonal Cs₂ZrF₆ and Cs₂HfF₆.     

Relativistic effects in oxides and halides of transition and post-transition metals

The review presents the experimental and theoretic data on relativistic effects in solids, which were the objects of S. P. Gabuda’s studies. Coordination and cluster compounds are considered. Unique data obtained by nuclear magnetic resonance, vibrational spectroscopy, magnetochemistry and other methods are presented. The possibilities of the occurrence of polymorphic phase transitions, the Jahn–Teller effect, intermolecular interactions, and other effects due to the features of structure of relativistic wave functions are discussed.

Impurity photovoltaic effect in <Emphasis Type="Italic">p-i-n</Emphasis> structures of undoped GaAs

Photo-emf in the range hv = 0.76 ? 1.35 eV was found in p-i-n structures produced from undoped GaAs crystals with known parameters; the current sensitivities in the impurity and intrinsic (hv > 1.35 eV) regions were comparable. It was proven that the impurity photovoltaic effect results from EL2 and EL3 structural defects creating deep donor levels in the forbidden zone. Calculations were performed that justified the possibility of observing this effect on the investigated structures.
