Structural insight into piezo-solvatochromism of Reichardt's dye

We have employed the preference of compounds to crystallize at high-pressure in the form of solvates to explore the solvation process and piezo-solvatochromic effects of Reichardt's dye, ET(1). Its solute-solvent interactions affect the dye's optical properties in various solvents studied by X-ray diffraction and UV-vis spectroscopy, reveal applications in nonlinear optoelectronics and molecular pressure sensor development.

Photoinduced bidirectional mesophase transition in vesicles containing azo­benzene amphiphiles

In this work, a reversible non-invasive light-induced mesophase transition from lamellar to cubic Pn3m is observed in mixed azo­benzene-lipid and phospho­lipid vesicles using small-angle X-ray scattering.

The importance of definitions in crystallography

This 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.

Crystal structure via fluctuation scattering

Fluctuation X-ray scattering measures the correlation of scattered X-rays in diffraction experiments. Here, the Bragg peak intensity from fluctuation X-ray scattering correlations is recovered using an iterative algorithm.

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.

Chromic soft crystals based on luminescent platinum(II) complexes

Platinum(II) complexes exhibit intense luminescence based on their molecular arrangement and chromic luminescence, which is a color change in response to gentle stimuli such as vapor exposure or weak mechanical forces. Both the molecular and the crystal designs for soft crystals are critical to effectively control the chromic phenomenon of platinum(II) complexes.
