Investigation of the Phase Transition at 67.17 K in the Thiourea-CCl4 Inclusion Compound. As Studied by 14N NQR

Abstract

Abstract The 14N NQR from the host lattice of the thiourea-carbon tetrachloride inclusion compound. From calorimetric measurements, two phase transitions are known to occur at 67.2 K and 41.3 K in this compound. Above the 67.2 K transition, the 14N NQR spectrum consists of one resonance, though a small splitting of about 0.5 kHz is seen at temperatures up to ca. 105 K. Below the transition, the resonance appears as a central component, in continuation of the resonance above the transition, and two satellites at + 10 kHz and -8 kHz from the central line. The transition from the single resonance to a fully resolved spectrum takes place in a temperature range of less than one kelvin. The results are compared with those previously obtained with the thiourea-cyclohexane inclusion compound.
