Photoinduced bidirectional mesophase transition in vesicles containing azo­benzene amphiphiles

versible non-invasive light-induced mesophase transition from lamellar to cubic Pn3m is observed in mixed azo­benzene lipid and phospho­lipid vesicles with small angle scattering.

The importance of definitions in crystallography

The paper proposes a rigorous definition of a periodic structure as an equivalence class of periodic sets under rigid motion, which is a composition of translations and rotations.

Scanning WAXS microscopy of regenerated cellulose fibers at mesoscopic resolution

Scanning WAXS microscopy of a regenerated cellulose textile fiber reveals a radial gradient in the degree of orientation of the crystallite.

Accepted 24 April 2024

A step towards 6D WAXD tensor tomography

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

Accepted 23 April 2024

Analysis of COF-300 synthesis: probing degradation processes and 3D electron diffraction structure

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.

Evolution of structure and spectroscopic properties of a new 1,3-di­acetylpyrene polymorph with temperature and pressure

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.
