Tunable Crystal-to-Crystal Phase Transition in a Cadmium Halide Chain Polymer

The chain polymer [{Cd(μ-X)2py2}1∞] (X = Cl, Br; py = pyridine) undergoes a fully reversible phase transition between a monoclinic low-temperature and an orthorhombic high-temperature phase. The transformation can be directly monitored in single crystals and can be confirmed for the bulk by powder d...
