A novel approach for 6D wide-angle X-ray diffraction tensor tomography characterization based on the concept of virtual reciprocal-space scanning.

Detailed analysis of the influence of time and temperature on the synthesis of COF-300 showed partial linker degradation but still allowed 3D electron diffraction structure solution using optimized conditions.

A new polymorph of 1,3-diacetylpyrene that is luminescent in the solid state and a prominent negative thermal expansion material has been obtained from its melt. A thorough structural characterization of this new crystal form was performed in a wide temperature and pressure range using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural studies have been combined with steady-state UV–Vis spectroscopy and periodic density functional theory calculations. A previously published methodology of crystal placement in a diamond anvil cell has been successfully applied in predicting optimal 2°AP-β sample orientation, ensuring >80% data coverage and enabling unrestrained Hirshfeld atom refinements for high-pressure structures as well as analysis of anharmonic oscillations.

Platinum(II) complexes exhibit intense luminescence based on their molecular arrangement and chromic luminescence, which is a color change in response to gentle stimuli such as vapor exposure or weak mechanical forces. Both the molecular and the crystal designs for soft crystals are critical to effectively control the chromic phenomenon of platinum(II) complexes.
