The temperature variation of the Co2SiO4structural parameters has been investigated by means of both neutron powder and single-crystal diffraction. Measurements were performed in a broad temperature range from 5 to 500 K. There is clear evidence of an anomalous thermal expansion related to the magnetic phase transition at 50 K. Below this temperature an abrupt elongation and contraction were observed along thecandbaxes (space groupPnma), respectively, whereas the lattice parameteraremains constant in the range between 5 and 50 K. The resulting volume of the unit cell is contracted below 50 K. This phenomenon is attributed to magnetostriction effects. A model based on the specific heat capacity data was applied for the quantitative description of the anomalous thermal expansion behaviour. On the other hand, no anomalies can be observed in the temperature dependency of the interatomic distances and angles.

The apohost form of a chiral trianglimine compound exists in at least three polymorphic forms. Despite similar packing arrangements, only two of these forms exhibit anomalous thermal expansion behaviour, and undergo thermally-induced interconversion.

A polar coordination polymer has been synthesised that exhibits anomalous anisotropic thermal expansion. The guest water molecules of the as-synthesised complex can be removed on activation without loss of crystal singularity to yield the fully dehydrated form that shows considerably different thermal expansion behaviour compared to its hydrated analogue.

We find complete miscibility for all</div><div>compositions x, with evidence of inhomogeneous distributions of Cd and Zn that in turn affect framework aperture characteristics. Using variable-temperature X-ray powder diffraction measurements, we show that Cd substitution drives a threefold reduction in the magnitude of thermal expansion behaviour. We interpret this effect in terms of an increased density of negative thermal expansion modes in the more flexible Cd-rich frameworks.</div>
