The leucite group structures are tetrahedrally coordinated silicate framework structures with some of the silicate framework cations partially replaced by divalent or trivalent cations. These structures have general formulae A2BSi5O12 and ACSi2O6, where A is a monovalent alkali metal cation, B is a divalent cation, and C is a trivalent cation. These leucites can have crystal structures in several different space groups, dependent on stoichiometry, synthesis conditions, and temperature. Phase transitions are known for temperature changes. This paper reports a high-temperature X-ray powder diffraction study on RbGaSi2O6, which shows a phase transition from I41/a tetragonal to Iad cubic on heating from room temperature to 733 K. On cooling to room temperature, the crystal structure reverts to I41/a tetragonal.

Bimetallic Pt nanoparticles play a critical role in various applications, including catalysis, chemical production, fuel cells, and biosensing. In this study, we start with Au@Pt core–shell structure and investigate the evolution of these nanoparticles at elevated temperatures. Our in-situ X-ray diffraction study at elevated temperatures concluded that the onset of Au–Pt alloying occurs between 500 and 600 °C. At higher temperatures, the nanoparticles gradually approached the state of a solid solution, but the composition across the nanoparticles was not uniform even at 1,000 °C. Our results suggest that the alloyed nanoparticles at high temperatures are dominated by one solid solution but contain distinct regions with slightly different compositions.

The room-temperature X-ray powder diffraction data for bosentan monohydrate, an API used in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, is presented. Bosentan monohydrate is monoclinic, P21/c (No. 14), with unit cell parameters a = 12.4520(7) Å, b = 15.110(1) Å, c = 15.0849(9) Å, β = 95.119(5)°, V = 2827.0(3) Å3, Z = 4. All the diffraction maxima recorded were indexed and are consistent with the P21/c space group. The crystal structure of this material corresponds to the phase associated with Cambridge Structural Database entry NEQHEY, which was determined at 123 K. The successful Rietveld refinement, carried out with TOPAS-Academic, showed the single-phase nature of the material and the good quality of the data. A comprehensive analysis of intra- and intermolecular interactions corroborates that the structure is dominated by extensive hydrogen bonding, accompanied by C▬H⋯π and π⋯π interactions. Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots indicate that the most important interactions are H⋯H and O⋯H/H⋯O in bosentan and the water molecule and C⋯H/H⋯C interactions in bosentan.

The crystal structure of decoquinate has been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data and optimized using density functional theory techniques. Decoquinate crystallizes in space group P21/n (#14) with a = 46.8261(5), b = 12.94937(12), c = 7.65745(10) Å, β = 91.972(1), V = 4640.48(7) Å3, and Z = 8 at 295 K. The crystal structure consists of alternating layers of hydrocarbon chains and ring systems along the a-axis. Hydrogen bonds link the ring systems along the b-axis. The rings stack along the c-axis. The two independent decoquinate molecules have very different conformations, one of which is typical and the other has an unusual orientation of the decyl chain with respect to the hydroxyquinoline ring system, facilitating chain packing. The powder pattern has been submitted to the ICDD for inclusion in the Powder Diffraction File™ (PDF®).

The crystal structure of valganciclovir hydrochloride has been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional theory techniques. Valganciclovir hydrochloride crystallizes in space group P212121 (#19) with a = 7.07758(23), b = 11.34599(27), c = 49.3041(22) Å, V = 3,959.22(22) Å3, and Z = 8. Solution and refinement of the structure were made difficult by the limited data range, the relatively large size of the structure, the broad diffraction peaks, the relatively low crystallinity, and the significant preferred orientation. The two independent cations are protonated at the N atoms of the valine side chains. The crystal structure is dominated by alternating layers of ring systems and protonated side chains/anions along the c-axis. In addition to the ammonium–Cl hydrogen bonds, the ring systems and side chains are linked into a three-dimensional network by hydrogen bonds. The two independent cations have very different conformations. N–H···Cl, N–H···O, O–H···N, O–H···O, and O–H···Cl, as well as C–H···Cl, C–H···N, and C–H···O hydrogen bonds, are prominent in the structure.

The powder pattern has been submitted to ICDD® for inclusion in the Powder Diffraction File™ (PDF®).

We developed a method called “component decomposition” to extract the pattern of each component of the sample from the multiple powder X-ray diffraction data. Using the component decomposition and the Direct Derivation Method™, we analyze the behavior of phase transitions of trehalose during the changes in temperature and humidity. Because we do not require databases or standard samples, this method is a powerful tool for the quantification of polymorphs in samples containing multiple polymorphs.

In the present study, we have discovered and identified a new crystalline form of pinaverium bromide, pinaverium bromide dihydrate (C26H41BrNO4⋅Br⋅2H2O), whose single crystals can be obtained by recrystallization from a mixture of water and acetonitrile at room temperature. The obtained crystals were characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, and their crystal structure was also solved based on X-ray single-crystal diffraction data. The results show that the final pinaverium bromide dihydrate model contains an asymmetric unit of one pinaverium bromide (C26H41Br2NO4) molecule and two water molecules that combine with the bromine ion through O–H⋯O and O–H⋯Br hydrogen bonds. Then, the adjacent pinaverium bromide dihydrates are linked by O–H⋯O, O–H⋯Br, and C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds. On the other hand, the experimentally obtained X-ray powder diffraction pattern is in good agreement with the simulated diffraction pattern from their single-crystal data, confirming the correctness of the crystal structure. Hirshfeld surface analysis was employed to understand and visualize the packing patterns, indicating that the H⋯H interaction is the main acting force in the crystal stacking of pinaverium bromide dihydrate.

The crystal structure of Form A of dequalinium chloride has been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional theory techniques. Dequalinium chloride Form A crystallizes in space group P42212 (#94) with a = 26.2671(8), c = 9.1119(4) Å, V = 6,286.9(4) Å3, and Z = 8 at 298 K. Despite the conventional representation of the cation, the ring N atoms are not positively charged. The positive charges are distributed on the ring carbon atoms ortho and para to these N atoms. The central decyl chain conformation is more kinked than the all-trans that might be expected in the solid state, but contains only one unusual torsion angle. The crystal structure consists of an array of dequalinium cations, with chloride anions located in regions between the cations. There are short stacks of roughly parallel rings in multiple directions. There is only one classical hydrogen bond in the structure, N–H···Cl between one of the amino groups and one of the chloride anions. Several C–H···Cl hydrogen bonds are prominent, involving ring, chain, and methyl hydrogen atoms as donors. Particularly noteworthy are the hydrogen bonds from the first and second C atoms at each end of the decyl chain.
