This is a review of atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis as applied to the study of
molecular materials. The PDF method is a powerful approach to study short-and …

Negative thermal expansion (NTE), referring to the lattice contraction upon heating, has
been an attractive topic of solid-state chemistry and functional materials. The response of a …

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) is a counterintuitive physical phenomenon that the unit
cell volume of material usually contracts instead of expands upon heating. With two …

X-Ray single-crystal diffraction has been the most straightforward and important technique in
structural determination of crystalline materials for understanding their structure–property …

Most materials expand upon heating. However, although rare, some materials contract upon
heating. Such negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials have enormous industrial merit …

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) is the phenomenon in which materials shrink rather than
expand on heating. Although NTE had been previously observed in a few simple materials …

The field of coordination polymer research has undergone rapid expansion in recent years.
No longer are these materials the vaguely defined'insoluble material'at the bottom of your …

Scandium trifluoride maintains a cubic ReO3 type structure down to at least 10 K, although
the pressure at which its cubic to rhombohedral phase transition occurs drops from> 0.5 GPa …

The impact of modest, industrially accessible pressures (0− 1.2 GPa) on the structure and
porosity of the zeolitic imidazolate framework Zn (2-methylimidazole) 2, ZIF-8, was …

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials have become a rapidly growing area of
research over the past two decades. The initial discovery of materials displaying NTE over a …
