An Enantiotropic Disorder–Partial Order Solid-State Transformation in a Molecular Solid Involving a Phase with Z′ = 12
2017
A structural study of the complex aminated stereotriads [(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]-4-ethynyl-4-(1-fluorohexyl)-1,2,3-oxathiazocane-2,2-dione (1) and its reduced analogue [(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]-4-ethenyl-4-(1-fluorohexyl)-1,2,3-oxathiazocane-2,2-dione (2) revealed a k12-type second-order phase transition in 1 and phase stability of 2 over the temperature range 100–298 K. The observed phase change in 1 has been linked to the partial ordering of the extensive positional disorder of the high temperature phase upon cooling as revealed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The ordering breaks the translational symmetry, introduces differences in the molecular volumes of the packed species, and results in a low-temperature crystal structure with Z′ = 12. The in situ powder X-ray diffraction studies suggest that the transition occurs between 237 and 180 K upon cooling, but complete amorphization in the range of 244–274 K during heating complicated the assignment of the transition temperature. The obser...
