Crystal structure of diclazuril, C 17 H 9 Cl 3 N 4 O 2

The crystal structure of diclazuril has been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional theory techniques. Diclazuril crystallizes in space group P2 1 /a (#14) with a = 27.02080(18), b = 11.42308(8), c = 5.36978(5) Å, β = 91.7912(7)°, V = 1656.629(15) Å 3 , and Z = 4. The crystal structure consists of layers of molecules parallel to the ac-plane. A strong N–H∙∙∙O hydrogen bond links the molecules into dimers along the a-axis with a graph set R2,2(8). The powder pattern has been submitted to ICDD for inclusion in the Powder Diffraction File™ (PDF®).

Crystal structure of vismodegib, C 19 H 14 Cl 2 N 2 O 3 S

The crystal structure of vismodegib has been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional theory techniques. Vismodegib crystallizes in space group P2 1 /a (#14) with a = 16.92070(20), b = 10.20235(4), c = 12.16161(10) Å, β = 108.6802(3)°, V = 1988.873(9) Å 3 , and Z = 4. The crystal structure consists of corrugated layers of molecules parallel to the bc-plane. There is only one classical hydrogen bond in the structure, between the amide nitrogen atom and the N atom of the pyridine ring. Pairs of these hydrogen bonds link the molecules into dimers, with a graph set R2,2(14) > a > a. The powder pattern has been submitted to ICDD for inclusion in the Powder Diffraction File™ (PDF®).

Structural Propensities in Cs2MBiX6 (M=Na, Ag; X=Cl, Br) Bismuth Halide Double Perovskites

A previously unreported low-temperature phase transition in the bismuth halide double perovskite Cs2AgBiCl6 is reported, thereby establishing trends in the structural ground state across Cs2NaBiCl6, Cs2AgBiCl6, and Cs2AgBiBr6. Using the combined toolkit of variable-temperature synchrotron X-ray and neutron powder diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and density-functional theory–based electronic structure modeling, we demonstrate a cubic Fm¯3m → tetragonal I4/m transition upon cooling with distinct onset temperatures. Neutron powder diffraction refinements permit the unambiguously assignment of the low-temperature phase of Cs2NaBiCl6 to I4/m, correcting prior reports of an I4/mmm ground state. Cs2AgBiCl6 is also found to transforms to a structure crystallizing in the I4/m space group at low temperatures. Temperaturedependent Raman data and density-functional theory-based modeling capture the softening and freezing of out-of-phase octahedral-tilt modes and quantify relative instabilities. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy at room temperature completes the characterization and helps underpin the subtle differences in covalency across the compounds. Trends in the phase transition temperature Ts and tilt magnitudes emerge from coupled effects of halide identity, M(I)–site bonding character, and a mismatch between interatomic distances. These results establish the structure– dynamics–bonding framework for tuning tilt-driven instabilities in halide double perovskites.
