Pressure effects on H-ordering in hydrogen bonds and interactions in benzoic acid

CrystEngComm, 2012, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/C2CE25128K, Paper

Weizhao Cai, Andrzej Katrusiak
The orientation of O-HO bonded carboxyl groups, described by skewness S, are coupled to the H-sites. Lower skewness S favours the H-disordering. In benzoic acid, pressure initially increases skewness S, but also compresses the OO distance, which lowers the potential energy barrier between the H-sites. Up to 2.21 GPa, none of the previously postulated phase transition was confirmed, but pressure facilitates the esterification of benzoic acid dissolved in methanol and ethanol.

The Carnelley's rule, correlating the symmetry of isomers with their properties, has been applied to the density of liquid and solid chloroethanes. Low-density phases of chloroethanes, where all intermolecular contacts are longer than van der Waals distances, have been associated with low symmetry of molecules. The loose and close-packed phases of chloroethane, C₂H₅Cl, have been evidenced by isobaric and isochoric crystallizations.

A novel Cu(II)-MOF {[Cu4(TTTMB)4(NO3)4(H2O)5][round bullet, filled](NO3)2[round bullet, filled](I3)2[round bullet, filled]H2O}n containing polyiodide I3- was obtained through crystal to crystal transformation by immersing a CdII complex {[Cd3(TTTMB)4I2][round bullet, filled]I4}n in an aqueous solution of Cu(NO3)2. There are two kinds...
