ABSTRACT
A combination of structural, dielectric and calorimetric studies is used to describe a highly atypical behaviour of novel hybrid formate [NH3(CH2)3NH2(CH2)3NH3][Mn(HCOO)3]3, incorporating large triprotonated molecular cations. Two successive phase transitions, switching between fast multiple rotor modes, and the surprising probable coexistence of static and dynamic disorder are discussed for this compound.
ABSTRACT
The noncentrosymmetric complex of guanidine with 4-nitro benzoic acid is known in the literature. The X-ray structure at room temperature was described. In our calorimetric (DSC) study the phase transition at ca. 183 K was detected. This phenomenon has a typical continuous (second-order) character. The DSC studies were expanded, and the deuterated sample was measured, too. During the deuteration process, the temperature of the phase transition is changed. The detailed vibrational (infrared and Raman) studies were performed for normal and deuterated powder samples at room temperature. The mechanism of a phase transition was studied by vibrational spectroscopy, also. A temperature dependence infrared spectra were measured in the temperature range 11-300 K. Additionally, the low-temperature spectra were measured for the deuterated sample. Based on these studies, the detailed assignments of observed bands were made.
ABSTRACT
We report the synthesis, crystal structure, and thermal, dielectric, phonon, and magnetic properties of [NH2-CH(+)-NH2][Mn(HCOO)3] (FMDMn). The anionic framework of [(Mn(HCOO)3(-)] is counterbalanced by formamidinium (FMD(+)) cations located in the cavities of the framework. These cations form extensive N-H···O hydrogen bonding with the framework. The divalent manganese ions have octahedral geometry and are bridged by the formate in an anti-anti mode of coordination. We have found that FMDMn undergoes a structural phase transition around 335 K. According to the X-ray diffraction, the compound shows R3Ì c symmetry at 355 K and C2/c symmetry at 295 and 110 K. The FMD(+) cations are dynamically disordered in the high-temperature phase, and the disorder leads to very large bandwidths of Raman and IR bands corresponding to vibrations of the NH2 groups. Temperature-dependent studies show that the phase transition in FMDMn is associated with ordering of the FMD(+) cations. Detailed analysis shows, however, that these cations still exhibit some reorientational motions down to about 200 K. The ordering of the FMD(+) cations is associated with significant distortion of the anionic framework. On the basis of the magnetic data, FMDMn is a weak ferromagnet with the critical temperature Tc = 8.0 K.
ABSTRACT
The experimental and theoretical vibrational spectra of Bis(melaminium) terephthalate dihydrate were studied. The Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra of the Bis(melaminium) terephthalate dihydrate and its deuterated analogue were recorded in the solid phase. The molecular geometry and vibrational frequencies of Bis(melaminium) terephthalate dihydrate in the ground state have been calculated by using the density functional method (B3LYP) with 6-31++G(d,p) basis set. The results of the optimized molecular structure are presented and compared with the experimental X-ray diffraction. The molecule contains the weak hydrogen bonds of N-H···O, N-H···N and O-H···O types, and those bonds are calculated with DFT method. In addition, molecular electrostatic potential, frontier molecular orbitals and natural bond orbital analysis of the title compound were investigated by theoretical calculations. The lack of the second harmonic generation (SHG) confirms the presence of macroscopic center of inversion.

On the basis of experimental literature data the theoretical studies for guanidinium and maleic acid complex with using DFT method are performed. In these studies the experimental X-ray data for two different forms of investigated crystal were used. During the geometry optimization process one equilibrium structure was found, only. According to this result the infrared spectrum for one theoretical molecule was calculated. On the basis of potential energy distribution (PED) analysis the clear-cut assignments of observed bands were performed. For the calculated molecule with energy minimum the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) were obtained and graphically illustrated. The energy difference (GAP) between HOMO and LUMO was analyzed. Additionally, the nonlinear properties of this molecule were calculated. The α and ß (first and second order) hyperpolarizability values are obtained. On the basis of these results the title crystal was classified as new second order NLO generator.
