Abstract

By using thermal and pressure measurements, it was found that in the bis(dimethylamino)squaraine (SQ)–water system near room temperature and pressure two hydrates exist, one containing two and the other four molecules of water per SQ unit. Their equilibrium vapor pressure is the key to their apparently erratic behavior under laboratory conditions. X-ray diffraction at 293±2 K established that the space group of the dihydrate (SQ2) is the monoclinic P21/c, whereas that of the tetrahydrate (SQ4) is the orthorhombic Pbcn. The squaraine molecules in both hydrate crystals form stacks parallel to the shortest crystallographic axes (b for SQ2 and c for SQ4); the water molecules lie between adjacent stacks, and are involved in a thick interplay of intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Such interactions are weak enough to leave virtually unchanged the geometry of the organic moieties with respect to that of the anhydrous compound. These results are fully compliant with those drawn from the infrared spectra and thermal and pressure measurements.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
