Summary: A new approach for fast recording Reciprocal Space Maps (RSM) of crystals is proposed in this study, which eliminates the use of mechanical systems. This approach utilizes two Adaptive Bending X-ray Optics (ABXO) elements made of lithium niobate crystals, placed at the positions of the monochromator and analyzer on a laboratory X-ray diffractometer. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed technique enables fast and precise measurements of RSM, achieving significant improvements in both speed (up to 30 times) and accuracy (up to 3 times) of the obtained data. It opens up opportunities for studying the evolution of the defective structure of various prospective crystalline materials under external loading.

Summary: Soil biogeochemistry is interconnected with the redox cycling of iron and manganese, where manganese oxides serve as electron acceptors and might be reduced by organic substances as electron donors. In this study, we investigated the impact of low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOA) on the transformation of birnessite. Our findings suggest that the reductive transformation of birnessite into more stable forms of manganese oxides is facilitated by the oxidation of LMWOA, which serves as electron donors. This process plays a critical role in controlling the abundance of LMWOA in natural systems.

Summary: This study investigates the high-pressure behavior of LiInCr4O8 spinel compound using structural and spectroscopic techniques. It reveals three structural phase transitions at approximately 14 GPa, 19 GPa, and 36 GPa, with the first high-pressure phase coexisting with the ambient phase before transforming to the second phase. The spectroscopic measurements show a blue-shift in phonon modes and crystal field excitations, as well as an increase in the bandgap under compression. The experimental findings are compared to first principles calculations.

Summary: High-pressure synchrotron X-ray diffraction and infrared absorption spectroscopy were used to study the crystal chemistry and phase transitions in [OH]-bearing carbonate malachite Cu-2(CO3)(OH)(2). It was found that malachite is stabilized by a high degree of [CuO6]-octahedron distortion, and external pressure promotes compression and regularization of the octahedron, leading to a phase transformation into rosasite above 6 GPa. The mechanism of phase transformation from malachite to rosasite is different from other carbonates, with the former being driven by compression and rotation/translation under pressure.

Summary: The method involves a solid-state reaction using highly pure CuO and TeO2 that are calcined at 600 degrees C for 15 h and cooled to room temperature at a rate of 40 degrees C/min. The doped powder by Er is then mixed with ethanol for 24 h, and a 15% solution of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in water is added to the mixture. The study of the new compound CuTe2O5 doped with x% Er2O3 showed a monoclinic structure in the P21/c space group and an antiferromagnetic transition at 56.5 K. The presence of the polyhedrons CuO6, Te(1)O5, and Te(2)O4E was confirmed by IR spectroscopy. Additionally, impedance spectroscopy and electrical modulus studies revealed that both samples exhibited a non-Debye type of relaxation. The dielectric analysis, using complex permittivity (e'), (e) and tan (8), showed that the compound has a low permittivity of 100, making it suitable for use as a type I capacitor in the microwave field.

Summary: An X-ray diffraction study was conducted on the transesterification product of N-methyl-N-(trimethoxysilylmethyl)acetamide with 4,5-dibromobenzene-1,2-diol. It was found that the coordination polyhedron of the silicon atom in the anionic complex was a distorted octahedron disordered by the superposition of Delta and Λ optical isomers. Various hydrogen donor groups in the bis(cyclohexyl)ammonium cations, solvent ethanol molecules, and non-coordinated 4,5-dibromobenzene-1,2-diol led to the formation of H-bonded chains, while dibromobenzenediol also participated in stacking interactions.

This study obtained and characterized a new polymorphic form of the drug carbamazepine (CBZ) cocrystal with methylparaben (MePRB), as well as a channel-like cocrystal with highly disordered coformer molecules, using various analytical methods. The structural analysis revealed a close resemblance between the novel form II and previously reported form I of the [CBZ + MePRB] cocrystal. The discovered form II showed superior thermodynamic stability and dissolution performance, making it a more promising solid form for pharmaceutical development.

In the Na-Ga-Se system, the use of NaBr/NaI flux did not produce salt-inclusion phases, but resulted in the formation of Na2GaSe3 and Na4Ga2Se5 phases instead. The thermal and electronic properties of [Na2Cl]GaS2 materials were investigated, and the heterolayered [Na2Cl]GaS2 single crystals were tested as a sorbent for UO22+ uptake.

Summary: By hybridizing TiO2 photocatalyst with CaCO3 as the wall material and using linseed oil as the core material, self-cleaning and self-repairing microcapsules were produced using in-situ precipitation. The microcapsules were evaluated for their morphology, chemical composition, thermal stability, and self-cleaning and self-repairing properties. Results showed that the microcapsules had a rough and spherical surface, along with excellent thermal stability and repeatability. Increasing the dosage of microcapsules significantly increased the degradation rate of methylene blue, while the self-repairing effect of micro-cracks became more evident. The optimal microcapsule dosage was found to be 7.0 wt%.
