The rule of four: anomalous distributions in the stoichiometries of inorganic compounds
Nicola Marzari, Marnik Bercx, Elena Gazzarrini, Carl Simon Adorf
Why are materials with specific characteristics more abundant than others? This is a fundamental question in materials science and one that is traditionally difficult to tackle, given the vastness of compositional and configurational space. We highlight he ...
Nature Portfolio2024Beyond the coupled distortion model: structural analysis of the single domain cupredoxin AcoP, a green mononuclear copper centre with original features
Cupredoxins are widely occurring copper-binding proteins with a typical Greek-key beta barrel fold. They are generally described as electron carriers that rely on a T1 copper centre coordinated by four ligands provided by the folded polypeptide. The discov ...
Cambridge2024How Reproducible is the Synthesis of Zr-Porphyrin Metal-Organic Frameworks? An Interlaboratory Study
Wendy Lee Queen, Jocelyn Richard Roth, Rawan Al Natour
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a rapidly growing class of materials that offer great promise in various applications. However, the synthesis remains challenging: for example, a range of crystal structures can often be accessed from the same building b ...
Weinheim2024Molecular intercalation in the van der Waals antiferromagnets FePS3 and NiPS3
Bruce Normand, Ying Chen, Sheng Xu, Shuo Li, Xiaoyu Xu, Zeyu Wang, Weiqiang Yu
We have performed electrochemical treatment of the van der Waals antiferromagnetic materials FePS3 and NiPS3 with the ionic liquid EMIM-BF4, achieving significant molecular intercalation. Mass analysis of the intercalated compounds, EMIMx-FePS3 and EMIMx-N ...
Amer Physical Soc2024A data-driven interpretation of the stability of organic molecular crystals
Michele Ceriotti, Edgar Albert Engel, Maria Pakhnova
Due to the subtle balance of intermolecular interactions that govern structure-property relations, predicting the stability of crystal structures formed from molecular building blocks is a highly non-trivial scientific problem. A particularly active and fr ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2023Pressure-freezing of dodecane: exploring the crystal structures, formation kinetics and phase diagrams for colossal barocaloric effects in n-alkanes
Barocaloric (BC) materials provide cheaper and more energy efficient alternatives to traditional refrigerants. Some liquid alkanes were recently shown to exhibit a colossal BC effect, matching the entropy changes in commercial vapour-liquid refrigerants. D ...
Cambridge2023Controlling the crystal structure of succinic acid via microfluidic spray-drying
Esther Amstad, Aysu Ceren Okur
Many properties of materials, including their dissolution kinetics, hardness, and optical appearance, depend on their structure. Unfortunately, it is often difficult to control the structure of low molecular weight organic compounds that have a high propen ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2023Chemical Shift-Dependent Interaction Maps in Molecular Solids
David Lyndon Emsley, Manuel Cordova
Structure determinationof molecular solids through NMR crystallographyrelies on the generation of a comprehensive set of candidate crystalstructures and on the comparison of chemical shifts computed for thosecandidates with experimental values. Exploring t ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2023Spin dynamics, loop formation and cooperative reversal in artificial quasicrystals with tailored exchange coupling
Dirk Grundler, Sho Watanabe, Vinayak Shantaram Bhat
Aperiodicity and un-conventional rotational symmetries allow quasicrystalline structures to exhibit unusual physical and functional properties. In magnetism, artificial ferromagnetic quasicrystals exhibited knee anomalies suggesting reprogrammable magnetic ...
2023Direct Observation of the Phase Transition in C60 Fullerene
In the third study, the order-disorder phase transition of single-crystal C60 is studied using time-resolved electron microscopy. Solid C60 undergoes a first-order phase transition upon heating to 260 K. This is a structural transition from the low-tempera ...
