Crystals of a coupled molecule of 4-biphenylcarboxy-(L)-phenylalaninate undergo normal to commensurately modulated phase transition at Tc ∼ 124 K that is characterized by torsional modulation typical of modulated structures and superstructures of polyphenyls yet unusual owing to asymmetric and unequal rotations governed by intramolecular and intermolecular constraints. The transition is presumably governed by significant suppression of atomic displacement parameters correlated to the evolution of amplitude of atomic modulation functions.

Monazite type ceramics are considered as potential ceramic storage materials for high level nuclear waste. Natural monazite is a host for radioactive elements like U and Th without becoming metamict due to radiation damage. Monazites are also known for their chemical flexibility and thermal stability. In this context, a solid solution series of (La,Pr)PO4 was synthesised as powders and single crystals and characterised by PXRD (Powder X-Ray Diffraction analysis), EMPA (Electron Microprobe Analysis), TGA (Thermal Gravimetric Analysis) and DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry). La and Pr were used as inactive surrogates for the minor actinides Am, Cm and Np, which represent major challenges in nuclear waste management due to their long half-life and high radiotoxicity. The powder samples were prepared following the protocol of [1]. Ln2O3 were mixed with NH4H2PO4 in excess. Powders were ground, pressed, and heated for one day at 1250 0C in air. X-Ray laboratory and synchrotron data showed that all samples were single phase. A decrease in the lattice parameters and volume with increasing Pr content was observed as expected due to the smaller radius of Pr3+ with respect to La3+ in nine fold coordination. The monoclinic angle β showed a linear increase. Using EMPA, the composition of all samples was determined. The average deviation from the nominal composition was calculated to be about 4 mol% which covers both, sample inhomogeneity and, more importantly, experimental challenges due to grain shape and porosity. In TGA and DSC curves, similar behaviour for all samples was observed, except for the Pr end member. This unsolved issue is currently under investigation. Complementary IR and Raman spectroscopic data showed the expected linear trends [2]. This behaviour was also reported for LnPO4 (Ln = La-Gd) [3].

The crystal structure of the title 2:1 salt of tetrazole and a substituted terephthalamidine, C16H28N42+·2CHN4−, contains an infinite network of hydrogen bonds, with short N
N distances of 2.820 (2) and 2.8585 (19) Å between the tetrazolate anion and the amidinium cation. Involvement of the lateral N atoms of the tetrazole in the hydrogen bonding appears to be a typical binding pattern for the tetrazolate anion.
