In the title compound, [Co(C10H8N2)3](PF6)2, the Co(II) atom is coordinated by the six N atoms of three 2,2'-bipyridyl ligands and adopts a highly distorted octa-hedral geometry. The crystal used was a merohedral twin, the refined ratio of twin components being 0.820 (1):0.180 (1). The crystal structure features weak C-H⋯F inter-actions, forming a three-dimensional network.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C11H15N3O2S, the C-N-N-C and C-N-C-C torsion angles involving the benzene ring and ethyl group are 11.91 (15) and 99.4 (2)°, respectively. An intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond is observed. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯O and N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional hydrogen bonded network. Finally, the molecules show a herri...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(9)H(14)N(4) (2+)·2Br(-), the cation and anions have crystallographic mirror symmetry, with the mirror plane running through the central CH(2) group for the cation. The latter are stacked along the a axis, forming channels hosting the bromide anions. The crystal packing is stabilized by C-H⋯Br hydrogen-bonding inter-actions, generating a two-dime...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(9)H(7)N(3)O(2), is composed of two independent mol-ecules. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. The crystal structure also features pyrazine-pyrazine π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6994 (5) Å] and also pyridine-pyrazine π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid dista...

Transformation of deuterated ethanol from the plastic crystal phase into the monoclinic one is investigated by means of a singular setup combining simultaneously dielectric spectroscopy with neutron diffraction. We postulate that a dynamic transition from plastic crystal to supercooled liquid-like configuration through a deep reorganization of the hydrogen-bonding network must take place as a p...

In the title compound, C(28)H(19)F(3)O(2), the central benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 48.69 (6), 60.93 (6) and 42.06 (6)° with the fluoro-benzene rings. In the crystal, inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules, forming an undulating two-dimensional network parallel to the bc plane. C-H⋯π inter-actions further consolidate the crystal packing.

In the title mol-ecule, C(27)H(32)O(2), the aromatic rings are in a propeller configuration. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked through O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming a two-dimensional network which develops parallel to (010). Futhermore, weak C-H⋯π inter-actions involving the two substituted rings build up a three-dimensional network.

Recently, photonic crystals doped with liquid crystal (LC) material havegained much research interest. In this article new ternary one-dimensional photoniccrystal introduced and studied. The liquid crystal layer of 5CB and 5PCH is sandwichedby two dielectric layers. For the first time, we use four structures SiO2/UCF35/CaF2,SiO2/5CB/CaF2, NFK51/UCF35/NPSK53 and NFK51/5CB/NPSK53. The effect ofte...

Tunable electronic lenses using gradient polymer network liquid crystal ~PNLC! cells were demonstrated. By changing the photomask pattern, both positive and negative lenses were fabricated. The advantages of such a PNLC lens are low operation voltage, large aperture size, and simple electrode design. To overcome the polarization dependence, stacking two orthogonal homogeneous PNLC cells is cons...

Introduction:  In  this  study,  we  utilized  the  MCNP4C  Monte  Carlo  code  to  quantitatively  evaluate  the  influence of crystal size and material on intercrystal scatter and parallax effects.   Materials and Methods:  For each of the 5 selected crystals (BGO, LSO, LYSO, LuAP, GSO), transport of  511  keV  photons  originating  from  a  point  source  and  incident  on  the  central  cry...
