The -65 °C phase transition in adamantane, C10H16, involves a change from the face centered cubic room-temperature structure to a tetragonal structure, space group PTt21c, with a=6-60, c=8-81 /~ and Z=2. The low-temperature cell is related to the cubic cell by atetr~-acubic/)/2 and ctetr-~aeubic. A single-crystal X-ray study of the low-temperature phase at -110 °C shows the arrangement of the molecules to be unchanged except for a 9 ° tilt about the c axis. A redetermination of the room-temperature structure using single-crystal data supports a disordered structure, space group Fm3m, rather than the previously assumed, ordered, F]3m structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
